There are several steps to produce glass. First of all, we have to put the “ingredients” into the furnace. The material are sand, soda, and limestone. The furnace will melt them all. After that, the melting material will be divided and transported to two different locations. In the first location, we will make the material to be a bottle glass. The material will be put in a removable mould to fill it up. When the material has filled this mould, the air is blown to the center of the mould to make an empty space in the bottle. Then we just have to make the temperature lower, so the material will be back to its solid state. In the second location, we will make the material to be a plate glass. The material will be placed in a container that will transport it pass some rollers, to make it flat. After that, we have to lower its temperature, just like the bottle glass making process. These are the end of glass-making process.
