Float Glass Production Line and Factory Setup
A float glass production line is a continuous industrial process designed to manufacture flat glass by floating molten glass on a bath of molten tin, followed by annealing, cutting, and packaging. The process produces high-quality flat glass with excellent optical properties and surface finish for architectural, automotive, and industrial applications.
Main raw materials include silica sand, soda ash, limestone, dolomite, and cullet. Core equipment consists of a melting furnace, float bath, annealing lehr, cutting line, and packing systems.
The Industrial Department supports new investors establishing a float glass plant and existing plant owners requiring repair, overhaul, capacity expansion, or modernization. Projects of this scale require substantial investment and engineering.
Engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and technical support can be provided for projects in Iran, Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan, and other regional markets under defined contractual scopes.
Production Line Overview
The float glass process is continuous and high-capacity. Capacity is determined during engineering and is typically expressed in tons per day. The process sequence is: batch preparation, melting in a furnace, floating on molten tin, annealing in a lehr, cutting to size, and packing.
Main equipment includes batch plant, melting furnace, float bath, annealing lehr, cutting and packing lines. The plant requires large area, significant energy, and specialized utilities.
