Material Batching, Glass Batch Plant, Material Treatment for Glass
1. Brief introduction
The materials used for glass making are called glass raw materials. Based on the different quantities and functions, the materials are divided into main raw materials and auxiliary ones.
2. Main type of raw materials
Item | Description |
1 | Silica sand |
2 | Feldspar |
3 | Dolomite |
4 | Limestone |
5 | Soda ash |
3. Types of auxiliary materials
The auxiliary materials help the glass to obtain a certain character and increase the melting speed.
Item | Description |
1 | Clarifying agent |
2 | Decolorizing agent |
3 | Coloring agent |
4 | Oxidizing agent |
5 | Cosolvent agent |
6 | Reducing agent |
4. Arrangmment type of batch plant
Silos arrange on one line.
The materials convey to mixer by belt conveyor after discharge from the scale hopper.
Mixer, scales and silos are vertically arranged.
The scales are connected with the mixer directly.
5. Material feeding device
6. Material collecting device
7. Raw mateirals pretreatment
In order to improve the production efficiency, if the granularity composition of raw materials can not meet the physical-chemical properties and processing property of glass product, the raw materials will be required to be pretreated before batching.
