Melting Process 10
Aim = Is to get defect free glass at working temperature
Raw material in proper proportion is mixed along with the cullet. It is fine powder
and the mixture called Batch is fused in Furnace at high temperature results in
formation of homogeneous viscous fluid.
CaCO3/Na2CO3/MgCO3 CO2 + Oxide
(source of air bubble)
During melting, cullet will form high viscous layer on the surface of the carbonate
and flux
Flux start react with the solid grain along with the formation of air bubble and liquid
melt.
Practically all the reaction must be complete by 2/3 of furnace and then refining 1/3
furnace.
The air bubble present in the melt comes on the surface and start bursting due to
the temperature and glass pressure
Individual Section Machine 11
Melt from feeder is pushed by the plunger assembly which cut the melt into molten mass.
Molten mass of glass called gob is transfer to the IS machine.
IS machine forming process based on the Blow and Blow Process
The machine consist of 19 mechanism to form a bottle by compressed air ( HP
=3.2 bar and LP =2.8 bar)
IS machine part: Scoop, Trump, Deflector, Mold, Neck Ring, Take Out Arm.

Blow and Blow Process
Blow and Blow process take place in IS machine where a gob released during
plastic stage and move along to mould.
The gob is forced into the blank mould using compressed air to push the gob into
place.
The gob, now a parsion is then flipped into a corresponding final mould where it is
blow again to form interior container.
Annealing 13
Viscosity of Glass melt should be uniform otherwise inhomogeneous melt result in chord and stone.
Viscosity varies with change in temperature:
1. Strain point ( 10^14.6 p) Temp(490). at which the internal stress is reduce and the glass become
rigid.
2. Annealing Point (10^13 p) Temp (500-550) Above this point there is no stress.
3. Softening Point( 10^7.6 p) Temp. (710-720) Glass will deform under its own weight.
4. Working point (10^4 p ) Temp. (1250-1300)
