Precision Engineered,
from Start to Finish: The
GEALAN Vinyl Window
Profile Production Process
At GEALAN, we understand that outstanding uPVC windows are crafted from the ground up, starting with an exceptional profile. This overview offers a comprehensive glimpse into our sophisticated uPVC window frame manufacturing process, underscoring our dedication to quality, innovation, and environmental responsibility.
Premium Materials, Sustainable Practices
The cornerstone of a remarkable window profile is the quality of its materials. At GEALAN, we choose uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) for its robustness, durability, and resistance to environmental elements. Our commitment to excellence extends to our sourcing practices—we collaborate exclusively with trusted suppliers who adhere to our stringent quality and ethical standards. Our proactive approach to sustainability is demonstrated through our integration of recycled uPVC content, which significantly diminishes waste and helps conserve natural resources.
The Art of Extrusion: Crafting Precision Profiles
At the core of our manufacturing process is the extrusion technique, where raw uPVC is transformed into precision-engineered profiles. Here’s how we do it:
Compounding
Carefully selected additives are blended with the uPVC to enhance its properties (color, UV resistance, impact resistance, etc.).
Melting & Extrusion
The uPVC blend is heated to the exact required temperature until it becomes molten. It is then extruded through a specially designed die, which meticulously shapes it into the final profile.
Cooling & Calibration
Post-extrusion, the profile undergoes a rigorous cooling and calibration process to ensure it meets our standards for dimensional accuracy and uniformity.
Cutting & Stacking
Finally, the profile is precisely cut to the standard lengths for window production and organized for further fabrication.
Our extrusion process is engineered for maximum precision, efficiency, and minimal waste, ensuring every GEALAN window frame meets the highest standards of quality and performance.
Shaping Innovation: GEALAN’s Tooling & Design Mastery
At GEALAN, we excel in our in-house capabilities in tooling design and production for our uPVC window profiles. Our team of skilled engineers utilizes cutting-edge CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing) technologies to develop the precision tools essential for crafting our innovative window profiles. This complete control over the design and manufacturing process enables us to offer exceptional customization options, intricate profile designs, and enhanced product performance — providing our partners with a distinct competitive advantage.
Unwavering Commitment to Quality:
Our Assurance and Testing Protocols
At GEALAN, quality is not merely a target; it is intricately integrated into every aspect of our production process. Our comprehensive quality assurance protocol ensures that each uPVC window profile surpasses the strictest standards for performance, durability, and aesthetic excellence. We meticulously inspect all raw materials and maintain continuous oversight of the manufacturing process to ensure no detail is missed.
We conduct a battery of tests to verify the quality of our profiles, including:
Weather Resistance
GEALAN window profiles undergo rigorous testing to withstand the harshest weather conditions — ensuring exceptional resistance to wind, rain, and UV exposure.
Colorfastness
Our color testing guarantees lasting vibrancy and fade-resistance, maintaining your windows’ beauty for years to come.
Thermal Performance
Our profiles undergo rigorous testing to ensure optimal thermal insulation, contributing to energy efficiency and reducing heating and cooling costs for homeowners.
GEALAN-acrylcolor: Unmatched Beauty & Durability
Our signature GEALAN-acrylcolor technology represents the pinnacle of surface finishing for uPVC window profiles. In this innovative process, a specially formulated acrylic layer is permanently bonded to the uPVC profile during extrusion, creating a seamless, colorfast surface that’s exceptionally resistant to scratches, fading, and weathering.
