Glass Defects Analysis & Trouble Shooting

During the production the glass defect resulting from the production is one of the main trouble for the glass makers.

Glass Service assistance engineers are specialized in glass defect analysis and glass defect trouble shooting.

The Glass Service professional approach includes several investigations on the glass defect and analysis as indicated in the figure.

Thanks to the deep know- how in the glass melting technology Glass Service assistance engineer can analyse the full production process with non-limitation on only one part.

During the defect trouble-shooting not only the defect analysis (indicated in the figure) are evaluated, but also the full batching & melting process.

The main focuses are:

• batching and raw materials:

  • raw material pollution

  • raw material constant quality

  • batch mixing

  • batch humidity

  • refining agent & decolouring agent

• cullet:

  • cullet quality

  • cullet grain size

  • cullet pollution

• melting furnace process:

  • melting temperature and energy distribution

  • melting bottom and top temperature

  • batch charger and batch charging distribution on melt bath surface

  • bubbling or electrical booster efficiency

  • burners combustion ratio

  • temperature sensor calibration

• conditioning and foreheart:

  • spout temperature profile input

  • throat temperature

  • zone heating/cooling distribution

  • air/gas combustion ratio

  • temperature sensor calibration

The use of modern investigation technology as well as the first class European chemical&physical laboratory allows top the Glass Service’s assistance Engineer to help the glass maker in their activity and success.
