During Glass production, from
the furnace, the molten glass is conveyed to the production
machines through conditioning channels. The conditioning channels
are divided into zones, each one subject to an individual automatic
temperature control, so to optimize the conditions in which
the liquid glass drop is formed. This system allows a very close
control of the drop weight. After this, the glass goes through
pressing and toughening process. The toughening process is carried
out mechanically by blowing compressed air in a rotary machine.
The right air pressure and moisture free compressed air ensures
a uniform consistency of the toughening level throughout all
the production. After toughening all the toughened shells pass
through a thermal shock line, to eliminate all the shells that
might not have been satisfactorily toughened.
Moisture (Condensation
or water vapour) in Compressed air stream leads to:
• Corrosion in pipes, cylinders and other components.
• Increased downtime and maintenance costs of Pneumatic
controls.
• The basic lubrication in the cylinders is washed out.
• Impairs switching function of valves, i.e., more malfunctions
during the operating sequence.
• Contamination and damage at points where the compressed
air comes directly in contact with sensitive material like glass.
• Rust and scale formation within pipelines
• Sluggish and inconsistent operation of air valves and
cylinders
• Freezing in exposed lines during cold weather
Moisture laden Compressed Air also leads to problems like
• Low level of glass consistency and homogeneity as moisture
pollutes the glass
• Uneven/ Poor toughening process
• Loss of strength/ fogging of glass
• Poor quality of glass leading to increased wastage
Dry, quality compressed air is an absolute must for Glass Manufacturing
The only positive
means of moisture removal from the compressed air stream is
the installation of an air dryer. Water vapour can economically
be removed by two methods; one is cooling the air and the other
method is by adsorption.
Delair offers a wide range of both refrigeration dryers and
adsorption dryers for all your needs.
For general plant and instrumentation air where requirement
is between 3°C PDP to 6°C PDP, delair refrigeration
dryers, - FDI Series, does the job.
If the application requires extra dry air and PDP below 2°C
then delair has a large range of adsorption Dryers - DC Series
and engineered systems. |
