The goal of tempering is to heat glass uniformly to near its softening point (around 620°C) and then rapidly cool (quench) it with air jets. This creates compressive stress on the surface and tensile stress in the core, resulting in stronger, safer glass. However, achieving consistent quality (flatness, low distortion, uniform stress, no breakage) across […]
Maintaining a glass tempering furnace is crucial for ensuring consistent product quality, maximizing uptime, minimizing energy consumption, and guaranteeing operator safety. It requires a systematic approach involving regular inspections, cleaning, lubrication, and calibration. Glass Tempering Furnace Maintenance Guide Key Principles: Safety First: Always prioritize safety. Follow Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures before any maintenance. Be aware of extreme heat, […]
