Container Glass, Daily Rate 30 Ton Per Day, End Fired Furnace, Glass Melter

1. Brief Description

Glass is a special amorphous inorganic nonmetallic material. The main component is silicate, a non-crystalline solid with an irregular structure.

Glass melting is the most important process in glass production, it is a forming process where the batched materials form a qualified liquid evenly with no bubbles under high temperature heating.

2. Furnace structure

Melting section

It is the part which melts batched materials and Clearing and homogenizes glass liquid. In the upper space of the melting section is referred to as the flame space, the lower part is melting tank.

The flame comes from the burner through the port, which feds in preheated air to increase the flame effiency.

Dog house

Batched materials feed into the furnace through dog house, the heat is transferred via flame space to the glass liquid.

Air, gas access

The heated air and gas flow into the pre-combustion room for mixing via this access after they flow out of the regenerator. This is also an access for the flue gas to flow into the regenerator from the flame space.

Pre-combustion room

After the air and gas flow out from the access, under the airflow vortex motion, and molecule diffusion and collision, the air and gas will mix before flowing into the furnace.

3. Furnace melting technology system

Furnace melting technology includes temperature, pressure, bubbling, glass liquid level, fuel, reversing system etc.

The temperature means the temperature the of melting tank, not the whole furnace. The distribution of temperature is from the melting tank through the length of the furnace.

Furnace pressure is the static pressure of the gas system, which is determinate by pressure distribution curve.

Stable shape and position of bubble are an important sign to estimate the melting performance, which will also affect the production capacity of furnace and quality of glass liquid.
