How to improve the life of glass furnace？

The service life of glass furnace is generally 10-12 years. If you want to get a longer kiln life, you can start from the following aspects.

Appropriate design and material selection

Ensure that the design of the glass furnace is reasonable, meet the process requirements, and select suitable refractory materials. Refractory materials should have good high temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and thermal shock resistance, and can meet the working environment requirements inside the kiln.

Proper installation and maintenance

During installation, the manufacturer’s recommendations and technical specifications should be followed. Carry out regular maintenance and inspection, repair or replace damaged refractory materials in time.

Prevent erosion and pollution

Control the chemical composition of fuel and raw materials to avoid accumulation and corrosion of harmful substances. Regularly clean the interior of the kiln to remove accumulated dirt and residue.

Precise operation of glass furnaces

Perform precise operation and control of glass furnaces to avoid adverse operating conditions such as overheating or overcooling.
