A melting furnace that melts 150 to 200 tons of glass per day produces about 800,000 bottles to 1,000,000 bottles per day. Raw materials of glass are melted at temperature in the range of 1,500 \u2103 to 1,600 \u2103 and vitrified by repeated complex chemical reactions and melting. Since large quantities of gas is generated and causes bubbles in glass in the course of such chemical reactions and melting, controlling glass temperature and glass flow is necessary to reduce these bubbles and ensure glass quality. Glass temperature distribution and glass flow depend on a melting furnace structure. Toyo Glass developed numerical melting simulation models and evaluates a melting furnace design with them to ensure quality glass.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"swell-block-column swl-has-mb--s\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"285\" height=\"188\" src=\"https:\/\/toyo-glass.co.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/kiln0201.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4265\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"swl-fz u-fz-l\">Result of glass melting furnace analysis<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"285\" height=\"188\" src=\"https:\/\/toyo-glass.co.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/kiln0202.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4266\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><span class=\"swl-fz u-fz-l\">Result of working-end analysis<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Furnace Operation Technology:Glass Homogenization and Minimizing of Bubbles.
