Glass Ball Manufacturer Introduces The Production Process Of Glass Balls

Update:24 Dec 2020

Glass Ball Manufacturer introduced that the raw material for making glass balls can only be glass. Glass is industrially produced. The raw materials are mainly quartz sand, feldspar, calcite, Glauber's salt, etc. These ores must be heated to more than a thousand degrees to react to produce glass liquid.

 

The raw materials for glass balls are mostly natural ores. Therefore, to manufacture glass balls, various ores are first crushed and added into powder. Then, according to the composition of the glass, a batch is made and sent to a glass melting furnace for melting to form a glass liquid. Qualified molten glass flows through the feeding tank and flows out from the feeding port to form strands. The temperature of the strands is generally 1150~1170°C for medium-alkali glass balls, and 1200~1220°C for alkali-free glass. The strands pass every minute Nearly 200 shearing into a ball embryo. The ball embryo passes through the chute, the ball divider, and is moved by the ball divider, respectively, rolls into different funnels, and then falls into a ball composed of three rollers with the same rotation direction. In the groove, the ball embryo rotates on the roller and its own surface tension acts to gradually form a smooth and round glass ball.
