White Round Opal Glass Bowl Glass Processing Plant Opal Glass Production for Domestic Glass

1. Brief introduction

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

Opal glass is a kind of glass material formed by opacifying effection produced from tiny particle in fluoride via light scatting effect. opal glass, also known as milk glass, is a type of opaque glass that has been cherished for centuries for its unique properties and versatile applications

At present, the opal glass is a regularly used glass product in daily life.

2. Advantages

• Increase the strength and thermal impacting property of the glass product.
• Increase the decoration apperance of the glass product.

3. Materials of opal glass

Stable chemical components in the raw materials are very important, especially the content of fluor and sodium fluosilicated, which will affect the opacifying effect.

To produce high quality product of opal glass, a high quality of silica sand shall be reqruied. The main materials to produce opal glass are below,

Glass melting is a very complex process, it includes physical, chemical and physicochemical phenomena and reaction. These phenomena and reaction lead the mechanical mixed raw materials to complex melting glass liquid.

4. Main equipment of forming device

• Gob Feeder / Serve Gob Feeder

Shear angle:adjustable between RH30°- LH 90°
Available for S.G, D.G and T.G.

• Press machine

Use continue cam in different section.
Pneumatic mold clamping, usually use 5 bar compressor air for stronger clamping the mold.

• Transfer ware

Transfer ware is designed for conveying the glass product from I.S.machine or press machine to cross conveyor in front of the annealing lehr quickly and stably, which is especially applicable to high-speed glass production line.

• Cross Conveyor

Cross conveyor is installed in front of annealing lehr for cross conveying the glass product and works with stacker to push them into annealing lehr.

• Stacker

Stacker is used for pushing the glass product from the cross conveyor into annealing lehr. Pushing speed is adjusted by inverter, quantity of pushing numbers is controlled by digital counters.

• Annealing lehr

Annealing lehr can be continuous annealing of tableware, bottles, cans, and other glass products.

• Packing devices

Different kinds of packing devices could meet different packing types of different kinds of domestic glass products.
