How does the flat glass tempering furnace work?

A flat glass tempering furnace is a specialized piece of equipment designed for the tempering of flat glass sheets, commonly used in architectural applications, automotive glass, and furniture. Here are the key aspects of a flat glass tempering furnace:

Key Features:

Heating Zone:

Even Heating: Uses infrared heaters, convection heaters, or a combination to achieve uniform temperature across the glass surface.

Temperature Range: Typically heats glass to around 600°F to 1,200°F (315°C to 650°C).

Soaking Zone:

Controlled Environment: Maintains the glass at the target temperature for a specific time to ensure thorough heating.

Cooling Zone:

Rapid Quenching: Utilizes high-velocity air jets to cool the glass quickly, creating surface compression and enhancing strength.

Automation and Control:

Advanced Control Systems: Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and touch screens for monitoring and adjusting temperature and timing.

Data Logging: Many furnaces include features for recording and analyzing the tempering process.
