Insulated Glass

Reliable Hot Melt Butyl Dispensing Systems for Efficient, Cost-Effective Insulated Glass Unit (IGU) Manufacturing and Repair

HMT has built a reputation for delivering industry-leading hot melt sealant dispensing solutions for the insulated glass (IG) industry. Designed for durability, reliability, and exceptional performance, our systems support a wide range of insulated glass manufacturing and repair applications.

Benchmark® Sealant Systems are available in three configurations to meet a wide range of production requirements and budgets. Each system is designed for reliable, long-lasting performance, melting and dispensing high-viscosity IG butyl sealants, including our HMT-8203. Multiple gunning tip options accommodate a variety of insulated glass applications, while ergonomic Ball Swivel Handguns and individual zone temperature controls ensure operator comfort and consistent, precise sealant dispensing.

For insulated glass repair facilities and IG window manufacturers, HMT’s tank systems provide an economical alternative to traditional drum and pail unloaders. By allowing operators to load sealant directly into the melt tank, these systems eliminate the need for costly unloading equipment while maximizing material utilization. Unlike conventional drum and pail unloaders, which often leave 10–20% of the butyl sealant unused, HMT tank systems allow virtually all of the sealant to be used, reducing material waste, improving efficiency, and lowering the overall cost per insulated glass unit.

Typical insulated glass applications include:

 Customized for Your Industry

Insulated Glass Assembly

HMT’s Benchmark® hot melt butyl sealant dispensing systems provide reliable, precise perimeter sealing for insulated glass (IG) unit production. Available in three system configurations, Benchmark® systems deliver consistent sealant flow and accurate temperature control for optimum butyl performance. Combined with HMT-8203 Butyl Sealant, ergonomic handguns, and a full range of interchangeable gunning nozzles, HMT systems help manufacturers improve productivity while producing a durable, immediate seal for fast assembly.

Fourth (4th) Corner Seal

HMT’s Benchmark® BM215-HVR4-B and BM615 systems are ideal for fourth corner sealing, providing precise dispensing of hot melt butyl to seal the vent hole after argon or other inert gas has been introduced into the insulated glass unit. Designed for accurate, low-volume dispensing, these compact, all-electric systems require no compressed air and can be configured with a variety of heated hose lengths, ergonomic 400 or 500 Series handguns, and interchangeable bead tips to meet the needs of any insulated glass assembly operation.
