The glass-making process is a time-taking process. The process starts with mixing silica which is obtained from sand with other raw materials which is added to make the process can be done easier like soda that can lowered the melting point of silica and limestone which is added to get better chemical durability. Then, the mixture is routed to the furnace to be heated until it is melted. And the result is the glass stream. Next, the glass stream is distributed to different production line. Some are distributed to make plate glass and the rest are distributed to bottle glass production. The plate glass is formed by sending the glass stream to the rollers to be flatted. While bottle glass is formed in a longer process. First, the glass stream is cut into gobs. Then, the gobs are routed to the blank removable molds. Next step is forming the parison, partially shaped container, by using compressed air then blow out the shape. Finally, after removing the mold, the container or the bottle is done.
Good work, thanks.
