The key process from raw glass to tempered glass lies in the heating and blowing stages. The heating stage involves the glass being heated to approximately 600℃ within the tempering furnace, where it is moved back and forth for a certain period of time until it softens to the appropriate degree for removal. In the event of unexpected factors during the heating process that prevent normal production, it is essential to learn how to respond and handle the situation. Today, we'll introduce how to emergency respond to a sudden power outage in a glass tempering furnace:
In the event of a power outage, it is imperative to immediately initiate an emergency ejection of all glass from the furnace chamber. There is an emergency ejection button on the control box, which must be held down until all glass is expelled from the furnace. This requires the crew member at the computer to monitor whether any glass remains inside. Once the glass is cleared, immediately notify the lead operator to stop the process promptly to prevent injury to personnel from hot glass. All staff must prioritize safety and the integrity of the furnace. Rescue as much glass as possible; staff must accurately assess whether some intact glass can be saved. If so, proceed; if not, do not immediately leave the work area (front stage and rear stage), and work in the safety zone in coordination with the lead operator.
Upon completion, we promptly restored the alarm system and arranged for staff to promptly clean up the broken glass around the furnace. Inspected the furnace and both upper and lower sections for any components that may have been burnt through by the high-temperature glass shards, until the fault was resolved.
Then, someone must continuously monitor the quartz roller conveyor within the furnace to ensure it's operational. If it stops rotating, personnel need to manually adjust the furnace to ensure even heating of the quartz roller conveyor and prevent deformation. This is because the furnace temperature remains at the working level after a power outage, necessitating a gradual cooling process.
