Process of Making Glass

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.

Glass making

Glass making through along several processes. To make a glass, first, I have to put the basic material of glass into a furnance. The basic material are sand, soda, and limestone. They are be burned and put into furnance. The output from the first process, that is liquid glass, be distributed into glass mold machine. Among others there are plate mold machine and bottle mold machine. The plate mold machine arranged from rollers of a sort so that liquid glass can be transformed into a good plate shape. The bottle mold form was made so that it can be removed after molding. Before the liquid of glass enter the bottle mold form, an air stream flow be blown on it. All of this process of making glass tools ending in the process of cooling off.

The Glass-Making Process

There are several steps in the glass-making process. For the first step, we must collect the ingredients to make glass. The ingredients are sand, soda, and lime, which we can get from limestone. In the second step, we must mixed them all and put it in the melting pot in the furnace and then we must heated it up to approximately 2500 degrees Fahrenheit. The result which we can get from it is a form of a molten glass. The last step is forming the molten glass into a solid glass. From this molten glass form, we can make two kinds of glass. That is, the plate glass and the bottle glass. To make plate glass, the molten glass must be poured into some rollers which can shaped the molten glass into a plate glass. The second kind is the bottle glass. To make this bottle glass, the molten glass was poured into a removable mould. While this process take place, the air was blown into the mould as well so that the molten glass was pressed to the side of the mould. After the molten glass cooled down and began to shape a solid bottle form, the mould will be removed to get the bottle glass . These are the steps in the glass-making process.

Good work, thanks.

HOW GLASS IS MADE

Glass used in a lot of human equipments comes from raw materials which pass the making process of glass. There are three steps in making of glass. They are melting, cooling, and forming.
The first step is melting. The raw materials containing silica which is from white sand or pulverized sandstone, soda (sodium bicarbonate), and lime which is from limestone are melted together at 2600 until 2900 Fahrenheit in furnace. The temperature depends on the composition of the raw materials. This step takes about twenty four hours.
The second step is cooling. After melting, the molten glass is then cooled until several hundreds degree at which it can be shaped. It has to be worked quickly to form it into the desired shape.
The last step is forming. The glass can be formed into bottles or plates. For glass bottles, molten glass is placed in a mould. Air is blown in and then the air pressure forces the glass against the side of the mould. When the glass cools and hardens, the mould is opened and a newly-made glass bottles removed. For glass plates, the sheet of glass is rolled flat along the assembly line. After it cools, the glass is ground and polished.
