What Is Float Glass Production Line?

The composition of float glass production line

The float glass production line equipment mainly comprises a batching system, melting furnace, tin bath, annealing furnace, finished product cutting equipment and auxiliary production facilities.

Batching System

They are used to accurately measure and mix the raw materials needed for the production process, ensuring that the glass is of the highest quality. Batching systems also help to reduce energy consumption, as they are able to maintain a consistent temperature throughout the process.

Melting Furnace

Our product adopts Low Energy Melter technology， which dramatically reduces heat losses and gas consumption without compromising quality. This is achieved by multiple improvements to the melting and fining process:

• Reduced working end losses by limiting glass recirculation

• High specific pull rate, thus limiting wall losses compared to useful melting energy

• Maximum fume heat recovery through optimized regenerator efficiency

• Increased combustion efficiency by ideally designed combustion space

• Modulated insulation for refractory walls

  
  

Tin Bath

Tin baths are an essential part of float glass production lines. They provide a heated environment for the molten glass to be poured into, allowing it to cool and form the desired shape. Tin baths are also used to control the temperature of the glass, ensuring that it is not too hot or too cold. The tin bath also helps to reduce the amount of energy used in the production process, making it more efficient and cost-effective. Tin baths are an important part of float glass production lines and can help to ensure that the glass is of the highest quality.

Annealing Furnace

They provide a controlled environment for the glass to cool down and become more durable. The annealing process helps to reduce the risk of breakage and cracking, as well as improving the overall quality of the glass. Annealing furnaces also help to reduce energy consumption.

Finished Product Cutting Equipment

It is used to cut the glass into the desired shape and size, ensuring that it meets the customer's specifications. Cutting equipment is also used to reduce the risk of breakage and cracking, as well as improve the overall quality of the glass. 

Auxiliary Production Facilities

They provide the necessary equipment and tools to ensure that the production process runs smoothly and efficiently. Auxiliary production facilities include things like conveyor belts, cooling systems, and dust collectors.
