What is the float process in glass production?

1. The forming process of floating production is completed in a tin bath filled with shielding gas (N2 and H2). Molten glass continuously flows in from the tank kiln and floats on the surface of tin liquid with high relative density. Under the action of gravity and surface tension, the molten glass spreads and flattens on the surface of the molten tin, the upper and lower surfaces are leveled, hardened and cooled, and then led to the cross roller table. The rollers of the roller table rotate to pull the glass ribbon out of the tin bath and send it to the annealing kiln. After annealing and cutting, the flat glass ribbon is obtained. Compared with other molding methods, float method has the following advantages: it is suitable for making high-quality flat glass with high efficiency, such as no ribs, uniform thickness, flat upper and lower surfaces and parallel to each other; The specification of the production line is not limited by the molding method, and the energy consumption per unit product is low; High utilization rate of finished products; Easy to manage scientifically, fully mechanized and self-propelled, and high labor productivity; Continuous farming
