Used to make patterned and wired glass.Float Glass (1959) – molten glass poured onto bed of molten tin and drawn off in continuous ribbon. Gives high quality flat glass with even thickness and fire polish finish. ~320 float-glass lines worldwide第5页/共75页 6Melting furnaceFloat bathCooling lehrContinuos ribbon of glassCross cuttersLarge plate lift-off devicesSmall plate lift-off devicesRaw material feedThe Float-Glass ProcessOperates non-stop for 10-15 years6000 km/year0.4 mm-25 mm thick, up to 3 m wide第6页/共75页 7The Float Glass Process第7页/共75页 8Raw materials第8页/共75页 9Melting Furnace第9页/共75页 10Float Bath第10页/共75页 11Float Glas
