In the glass production industry, the problem of glass melt pollution seriously affects product quality and production efficiency. Impurities in the glass melt can lead to defects in the final glass products, such as bubbles, inclusions, and uneven color, which not only reduce the aesthetic value of the glass but also limit its application in high - end fields. For example, in the production of optical glass, even a tiny bubble can significantly affect the optical performance of the glass.
Fused Alpha Alumina Block TY - A is a revolutionary material designed to address the glass melt pollution issue. It is made from high - purity alumina with an Al₂O₃ content of over 98%. The absence of impurities such as Fe₂O₃ and TiO₂ is a key advantage. Fe₂O₃ can cause discoloration in the glass, and TiO₂ may react with other components in the glass melt, generating bubbles. When Fused Alpha Alumina Block TY - A comes into contact with the glass melt, it rarely produces bubbles, thus minimizing the pollution of the glass melt.
The production process of Fused Alpha Alumina Block TY - A involves melting and casting in an electric furnace at 2000℃. This high - temperature process results in a dense structure. The dense structure gives the block excellent resistance to strong alkalis. In glass production, the glass melt often contains alkaline substances. Ordinary materials may be corroded by these alkalis, releasing impurities into the glass melt. However, Fused Alpha Alumina Block TY - A can withstand the strong alkaline environment in the glass furnace. Moreover, it has extremely high corrosion resistance at a high temperature of 1350℃, which is the typical operating temperature in many glass - melting furnaces.
Let's take a look at a real - world example. A medium - sized glass production enterprise had been struggling with high defect rates due to glass melt pollution. After using Fused Alpha Alumina Block TY - A, significant improvements were observed. Before using the product, the defect rate of the glass products was around 15%. Bubbles and inclusions were the main reasons for these defects. After the adoption of Fused Alpha Alumina Block TY - A, the defect rate dropped to less than 5% within three months. This improvement not only reduced the production cost but also enhanced the overall quality of the glass products.
In terms of production efficiency, the enterprise also witnessed a remarkable increase. The original production cycle was about 24 hours per batch. After using the new material, the production cycle was shortened to 20 hours per batch, an increase in production efficiency of about 16.7%. This was mainly because the reduction in glass melt pollution led to fewer production interruptions for cleaning and maintenance.
In summary, Fused Alpha Alumina Block TY - A offers multiple advantages for glass production enterprises. Its high - purity raw materials reduce glass melt pollution, the dense structure provides excellent resistance to strong alkalis and high - temperature corrosion, and it can significantly improve product quality and production efficiency. If your glass production enterprise is also facing challenges related to glass melt pollution, we strongly encourage you to try Fused Alpha Alumina Block TY - A. By using this innovative material, you can enhance the purity of your glass melt, improve the quality of your glass products, and boost your production efficiency, thereby gaining a competitive edge in the market.
