Melt Furnace

To prevent unexpected melt furnace shut-down, it is imperative to perform regular maintenance checks of the refractory material. Pyrometers measurements help to ensure maximum efficiency.

Float Glass

The float glass cooling rate in the annealing lehr is crucial to the resulting product quality. Improper cooling can lead to breakage during downstream processes. Correct temperatures are also critical across the width of the tin bath.

Containers and Bottles

Pyrometers are installed at various zones to monitor glass temperature at various processes. These include the molten gob, the forehearth, annealing lehr and surface treating treating.

Benefits of real-time temperature monitoring:

Increased productivity
Minimized down-times
Enhanced process control
Uniform product quality
