1. Brief Description
Sheet glass is a type of flat glass produced using vertical drawing or horizontal processing techniques, characterized by smooth surfaces and uniform thickness. It is widely used in various applications including windows, picture frames, furniture, and building materials.
Sheet Glass is made using a series of rollers that draws the molten glass vertically up out of the mixing tank (where the glass is still a liquid), which is also called Glaverbel Glass. The glass is rolled up vertically, and then as it is cooling, turned horizontally, for further cooling and processing. Sheet glass has historically been used for thinner “flat glass” products. The sheet process has limitations regarding thickness and overall size as well as clarity but was less expensive than the old plate glass grinding process so it became more commonly used in situations where a thinner, typically lower cost but lower quality glass could be used. Residential windows, desk tops, picture frames and so forth were typically made with sheet glass.
2. Types of sheet glass
| Type | Description |
| Float glass | Standard glass with a smooth surface, ideal for windows or doors |
| Low iron glass | High clarity glass with minimal green tint, perfect for displays |
| Tinted glass | Glass with added color to reduce glare and heat, used in building |
| Reflective glass | Coated glass that reflects light,enhancing privacy and reduce heat |
| Laminated glass | Two or more layers bonded together, providing safety and sound insulation |
| Tempered glass | Heat-treated glass that is stronger and shatters into small pieces |
| Frosted glass | Glass with a sandblasted or acid-etched surface,used for privacy |
| Patterned glass | Decorative glass with various textures and designs,used in interior |
3. Technical features of sheet glass
| Feature | Description |
| Dimension | Common sizes include610x914mm, 1220x914mm, and 1830x1220mm |
| Thickness range | Typically ranges from 1mm to 19mm, with custom options available |
| Color options | Available in clear, tinted, frosted, and reflective finishes |
| Thermal resistance | Varies by type; some are designed for hign-temperature applications |
| Processing options | Can be treated with coating, edging finishing, and silk-screen printing |
| Safety features | Option for tempered laminated glass for enhanced safety |
Physicochemical changes in each glass melting stage:
In this stage, the components of batched materials will produce a physicochemical solid phase reaction during heating process, in which the gaseous products will be released from the batched materials and produce a new opacity sinter ultimately, which is formed by silicate and SiO2.
In this stage, the sinter will be melting and the silicate and SiO2 in sinter will change to flint glass liquid with a plenty of bubbles. However, its chemical components and character are not even.
The glass liquid is continuously heated, and its viscosity is reduced with plenty of gaseous sundries released, which should eliminate the visible bubbles with the pool of liquid.
The glass liquid is kept at high temperature for a long time, the ripple eliminates by diffused function and homogenizes as a whole. The temperature of homogenization can be lower than the clearing stage.

7. Main Equipment Description
For batching and mixing the raw materials.
The melting tank is key part of glass production line. It is very important to ensure the refractory materials quality.
Compared with the float glass process, the sheet glass is combined with slotless process and horizontal stretching process, forming the glass liquid by slotless tank and stretching rotation method.
In glass technology, annealing means to put the glass into the annealing lehr for a certain time or reduce the temperature with a slow speed, so as to no additional permanent stress or temporary stress will produce. Namely, annealing also means a process which will reduce or eliminate the thermal stress of glass.
