Classic glass industry article intended to promote critical thinking on
tempering furnace roller use and maintenance. The authors emphasize underlines the
importance of plant cleanliness, roller & furnace cleanliness and
maintenance, dust control, and state that "Effective use of the glass
washer is critical to every tempering operation... The glass washer must be operating
properly with the detergents, brushes and rinse water at the
manufacturer's recommended settings. Maintenance of the glass
washer is equally important to ensure the glass is clean and without
residue or debris that will be carried into the furnace."
The article concludes with this statement, "Roller
quality and stability are essential as are the cleanliness of the
factory and the furnace, the operating practices, and glass cleanliness.
Defects in tempered glass can usually be identified, isolated, and
resolved through the use of optical microscopy, scanning electron
microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy."
