1. Brief Introduction
Glass is a special amorphous inorganic nonmetallic material. The main component is silicate, a non-crystalline solid with an irregular structure.
Glass was used for windows and doors by the Ancient Romans as early as the 4th century.
Glass furnace is a melting device, which is the most necessary and important equipment for the glass industry.
The melting process is divided into five stages as following, each section has its inner connection, affecting each other. If one stage has imperfect performance, it will influence the next stage, and ultimately affect the quality of glass.
The direction of flames of a cross fired furnace is from one side to the other side, which is across the width of the furnace and perpendicular with the flow direction of glass liquid.

3. Main component
The dimension of batch charging area is determined by the different size of furnace and batching methods.
The melting tank is combined with melting area and clearing area.
The regenerator as a waste heat recovery device, the combustion air flows through the regenerator, after preheated, it will arrive at the furnace through the port.
It is the place where the fuel is mixed with the preheated air, also an access for the preheated air in to the furnace and exhausting the
waste gas out.
- Double deck reversing unit
After a period of heating, the double deck reversing unit will change the flow direction of waste gas and combustion air.
