Classification of glass kilns

Glass kiln is a common glass melting furnace. Since the batch materials are melted into glass liquid in the trough-shaped pool of this kiln, it is called a kiln.

 

1. According to the manufactured products, it is mainly divided into:

A. Flat glass kiln;

B. Daily glass kiln.

 

2. According to the molding method, it is mainly divided into:

A. Float glass kiln;

B. Flat pull glass kiln;

C. Vertical pull glass kiln.

 

3. According to the heat source used for melting glass, it can be divided into:

A. Flame kiln, which uses burning fuel as the source of heat energy;

B. Electric kiln, which uses electricity as the source of heat energy;

C. Flame electric kiln, which uses fuel as the main source of heat energy and electricity as the auxiliary source of heat energy.

 

4. According to the continuity of the melting process, it is mainly divided into:

A. Intermittent kiln, in which the various stages of glass melting are carried out in the same part of the kiln at different times, and the temperature system of the kiln is variable;

B. Continuous kiln, in which the various stages of glass melting are carried out in different parts of the kiln at the same time, and the temperature system of the kiln is stable.


5. According to the flue gas waste heat recovery equipment, it is mainly divided into:

A. Regenerative kiln, that is, the flue gas waste heat is recovered by heat storage;

B. Heat exchange kiln, that is, the flue gas waste heat is recovered by heat.

C. According to the direction of the flame flow in the kiln, it is mainly divided into:

D. Horizontal flame kiln, that is, the flame in the kiln flows horizontally, perpendicular to the flow direction of the glass. Most of the large glass kilns in my country are of this form;

E. Horseshoe flame kiln, that is, the flame in the kiln flows in a horseshoe shape, mostly used in medium and small glass kilns;

F. Vertical flame kiln, that is, the flame in the kiln flows vertically, parallel to the flow direction of the glass liquid.
