The Float Glass Process

The principal ingredients in soda-lime-silica float glass include sand, soda ash, dolomite, and limestone. The quality of the produced glass depends on the purity and grain size of the input material. The float glass production process begins with the raw materials being melted in a furnace at approximately 2,900°F or 1,600°C. The continuous strip of glass exiting the furnace is known as the &#;ribbon&#;.

Forming takes place on a tin bath. The liquid glass floats upon the tin bath at approximately 2,000°F or 1,100°C, to achieve a flat, smooth surface without polishing. On exiting the tin bath, the glass is progressively cooled in the annealing lehr, which releases stress from the glass ribbon. A uniform stress profile supports the reliability of subsequent glass cutting operations. Laser sensors or high-resolution cameras installed along the line capture production data which is evaluated by yield-optimization software to direct a robotic cutting system. The ribbon is cut into stock sheets which are then prepared for storage. The sheets are sprayed with a separation material which helps to prevent scratches and sticking as the lites are arranged into packs.
