Waste Statistics in a Typical Float Glass Line

Waste Statistics in a Typical Float Glass Line

This data was collected from a wide-ribbon float glass manufacturing facility with an excellent layout for internal handling of raw materials and glass. This facility features a well-designed, state-of-the-art production line with a furnace pull of 800 tons per day and a good energy consumption for the melting furnace (1530 Kcal/Kg glass melt).  Data collected […]

An Overview of the End-to-End Yield of the Glass Loop

In glass production, ‘furnace pull’ refers to the total tonnage of molten glass that exits the furnace. However, not all of this molten glass is converted into usable products; a significant portion becomes waste due to various factors. The losses in the float glass loop can be attributed to the following: Approximately 10-15 cm of […]
