As the batch materials melt into solution, the molten glass would be gradually cooled in
the refiner section of the furnace. By the time the glass would reach the furnace front
wall, it would be completely free of unmelted batch particles and uniform in composition.
This homogeneous blend would now be delivered to the Metal Bath in a continuous flow
through the canal.
(b) Metal Bath: The metal bath would consist of an electrically heated forming oven. The
molten glass would flow onto the surface of a pool of molten tin, maintained at
approximately 1000 °C to 1100°C. A continuous ribbon would be drawn from this pool and
transported and cooled along the length of the Metal Bath. The soft glass at the bath exit
would be approximately 600 °c hot and still in plastic stage but hard enough to be removed
from the surface of the tin with mechanical rollers without marking. The Metal bath would
be approximately 7 meters wide and 50 meter long, containing close to 130 tons to 145
tons of molten tin. The bath chamber would be carefully sealed and maintained under
positive pressure by an inert nitrogen atmosphere with traces of hydrogen. This is
necessary to maintain a clean pristine surface for the tin, which would otherwise rapidly
oxidize in air. The molten glass, when flowing on the surface of the molten tin, forms a
ribbon of perfectly flat parallel surface. The thickness of the ribbon is controlled by the
pull out speed and can vary from 2mm to 12mm. The ribbon would emerge from the bath
at different speeds depending upon the desired thickness.
(c) Annealing Lehr: The Annealing lehr must cool the glass ribbon from 600°C to
approximately 90°C, in a precise uniform manner to prevent residual stresses that make
cutting difficult and also to prevent temporary stresses that cause ribbon fractures. The
Annealing lehr would use small amounts of electric heat to keep the edge of the sheet from
cooling faster than the center. Special rollers and drive systems are required for the
Annealing lehr, as well as a sophisticated temperature control system to accomplish
controlled cooling.
