About HELANTEC
HELANTEC GmbH has been developing and manufacturing solutions for gas filling technology, gas analysis, pressure equalisation and process monitoring since 1989. The portfolio includes manual gas filling systems (EASY.FILL, SMART 150, STANDARD), rapid filling systems of the RAPIDE series and TURBOFILL for 1-hole filling technology, gas analysers such as GAS-TESTER, ISO-GAS-Control, HELOX 4 and GAS INSPECTOR as well as the ISO-Altimeter PROFESSIONAL pressure equalisation system. The programme is complemented by process monitoring systems (IPC, IGM/IPA, SEALANT INSPECTOR), gas mixing technology, nitrogen generators, special products such as Leakfinder and Low-E-Tester, as well as accessories, consumables and spare parts. All products are developed and manufactured in Germany (Made in Germany). The main focus is the insulating glass industry; further applications can be found in the magnesium industry (protective gas technology), the food industry (residual oxygen measurement in modified atmosphere packaging) as well as in medicine, mechanical engineering, chemistry and research. In addition, HELANTEC distributes, as a sales partner for Germany, Austria and Switzerland, spacer bending and desiccant filling systems from LOMBARDA Macchine as well as non-destructive gas measuring devices from Sparklike. Through sales partners in numerous countries, the systems are in use worldwide.

Gases, Materials and Applications
Argon
Standard filling gas for insulating glass, measured and filled by HELANTEC systems and analysers.
Krypton
Noble gas for highly insulating insulating glass fillings, suitable for RAPIDE rapid filling technology and gas analysis.
Nitrogen
Protective gas for magnesium melting processes and modified atmosphere packaging; decentralised supply via N₂ generators.
Magnesium
Protective gas systems and dosing systems secure the melting processes in the magnesium industry.
Aluminium spacers
Processed by the distributed LOMBARDA spacer bending systems using cold and warm bending methods.
Warm-edge spacers
The WHS2 spacer bender bends fragile warm-edge spacers even with the warm bending system without tool changes.
2-component sealant (butyl)
SEALANT INSPECTOR continuously monitors the mixing ratio of 2-component sealants in the sealing process.
