Automatic Material Batching Operation, Glass Batch Plant, Fully Automatic Plant

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.

Reasonable granularity composition of raw materials can reduce the chemical component fluctuation to the lowest limit and increase the mixing homogeneity of batched glass materials, which is beneficial to improve the melting rate of the materials and homogenizing speed of glass liquid.

2. Main type of raw materials

• Silica sand
• Feldspar
• Dolomite
• Limestone
• Soda ash

3. Types of auxiliary materials

The auxiliary materials help the glass to obtain a certain character and increase the melting speed.

• Clarifying agent
• Decolorizing agent
• Coloring agent
• Oxidizing agent
• Cosolvent agent
• Reducing agent

4. Arrangmment type of batch plant

• In-Line type

Silos arrange on one line.
The materials convey to mixer by belt conveyor after discharge from the scale hopper.
The mixing room is separatly arranged.
Material loading system is arranged on one line.

• Tower-type

Mixer, scales and silos are vertically arranged.
The scales are connected with the mixer directly.
The material loading system for big capacities of batch need to load the materials from various directions.

5. Material feeding device

• Hopper
• Pneumatic hammer
• Sensors
• Material discharging device
• Instrument and control system

6. Main equipment of batch plant

• Scrubbing machine

Simple structure

High crushing efficiency, energy saving and environment protecting

• Hindered settler

Hindered settler is used for classifying silica sand or other mining coarse and fine particle, it adopts to classify the mineral with different gravity and replace the fine screen for force control.

• Desliming hopper

Desiliming hopper also calls circular cone, it is a simple classification, desliming and thickening device.

• Hydraulic classifier

Hydraulic classifier is a particle classifying unit and system equipment in mineral classifying professional area.

• Dust collector

Bag-type dust collector is a kind of high-efficiency special purification equipment, which is suitable for the top of power plant ash warehouse, powder warehouse, etc. It uses advanced ash cleaning technology and it has the advantages of large gas treatment capacity, good purification effect, simple structure, reliable work and low maintenance workload.

• Mixer

Mixer is a kind of mechanical equipment that could mix two or more types of materials homogeneous together.

• Bucket elevator

The bucket elevator consists of upper section, lower section, intermediate section, deriving section and operation section.
