The process illustrates the sequence of steps involved with producing plate and bottle glass.
Overall, it is clear that there are three main stages, commencing with the combination of three various materials, particularly limestone, sand, and soda. Eventually, through all of the steps, that mixture creates plate and bottle glass.
At the first stage, the combination of limestone, sand, and soda is put into a furnace, where the mixture is heated to approximately 1700ºC. After that, that source becomes molten glass and divided into two branches for making plate and bottle glass. In the manufacture of plate glass, the molten glass is filled in a tank with a valve, which releases that substance onto a wide range of rollers. Finally, a variety of plate glass are shaped by rollers.
Turning to the process of making bottle glass, the molten glass then runs into the removable mould with the compressed air, which assists that molten glass is forced in the inner walls of the mould and shaped such a bottle. Considerably, that material leaves the rest empty of bottle glass. Subsequently, it is passed through a cooling system to fix the molten glass, and a usable bottle is generated.
