LandGlass: How to resolve tempered glass’ fragmentation issues

When processing tempered glass, sometimes problems appear with the fragments not meeting standards. When this occurs, LandGlass advises to take the following measures:

  1. If the wind pressure during the tempering cooling process is too low, it can lead to oversized fragments of the tempered glass. To solve this problem, operators should appropriately increase wind pressure in the quenching section when setting the tempering parameters. Also, moderately reducing the distance between the upper and lower tempering chiller should be considered, as this can enhance the cooling effect and further reduce the size of the fragments.
  2. Another possible cause of non-standard fragments is the glass’s low exit temperature from the furnace. In this case, the tempering parameters can be modified to increase the set temperature or extend the heating time of the glass in the heating furnace. This ensures that the glass reaches the appropriate exit temperature and meets the requirements for the number of fragments.
  3. To address the issue of tempered glass fragments not meeting standards, parameters such as tempering wind pressure and exit temperature should be adjusted. Through meticulous adjustments and continuous experimentation, it’s possible to find the most suitable parameter settings, achieving the ideal fragments of tempered glass and thereby improving the quality of tempered glass.
