What equipment do you need to produce glasses? Is the process complicated? Are there many raw materials?
The main raw materials for glass production are glass forming bodies, glass adjusting materials and glass intermediates, and the rest are auxiliary raw materials. The main raw materials, intermediate oxide and oxide to network oxides into the glass forming network; auxiliary materials including clarifying agent, fluxing agent, emulsifying agent, coloring agent, bleaching agent, oxidizing agent and reducing agent etc..
Glass production process mainly includes: (1) raw material pretreatment. The massive raw materials are crushed to damp the raw materials, and the iron containing materials are treated with iron to ensure the quality of the glass. Preparation of batch. Melting system. The glass batch is heated in a bath or crucible furnace at high temperature to form a liquid glass which is uniform, free of bubbles and conforms to the molding requirements. Shaping. The processing of liquid glass into desired shapes, such as flat plates, various vessels, etc.. Heat treatment. Through annealing, quenching and other processes, to eliminate or produce glass internal stress, phase separation or crystallization, and change the state of glass structure.
Equipment: glass cutter, alcohol burner, hot air gun, is a lot of manual work
