Glass Solutions

Achieve Primary and Secondary Glass Manufacturing Goals.

Raytek thermometers are used with furnaces, bulk glass, melter, regenerator, refiner, forehearth, gob, molds, float lines, and annealing lehrs, as well as at the cooling and coating areas.

Melt Furnace - Monitor packing and refactory materials for deterioration with Raytek sensors to plan maintenance and rebuilding schedules, and eliminate emergency situations.

Flat Glass - Mount sensors over each flat glass production zone to insure correct edge-to-edge glass temperature and a consistent flat surface.

Bottles and Containers - Maintain proper forehearth temperature with an infrared thermometer to insure proper molten glass homogenous condition at exit.

Glass Fiber - Use infrared fiber optic sensors to monitor and control forehearth zone temperatures to maintain the optimum molten glass temperature as it enters the fiberizer.

Benefits:
- Increased throughput and packing rate
- Improved process control
- Increased product uniformity
- Higher product quality
- Less production downtime
