Glass Making Process

There are a few steps to make a glass. Fist, we put sand, soda, and limestone into the furnace and mix it well. In the furnace, the mixture are being processed to become liquid, and that would be the main item to make 2 kinds of glasses. Bottle glass and plate glass. To make the bottle glass, the mixture that is in the furnace are being flown to the removeable mould that shaped like a bottle. In the removeable mould, after we pour the mixture, we blow air to it so it shaped like a bottle with a room in the middle of it. To make the plate glass, the sand soda and limestone mixture are being flown to a different place, this time to a container that was connected to a rollers. After that, the rollers will flattened the mixture and make it a plate glass.
