Detailed Explanation of the Production Process of Glass Jars
 

Raw material preparation
The main raw materials of glass jars are silicon dioxide, sodium oxide and calcium oxide. These raw materials need to be prepared in a certain proportion and dried. At the same time, the raw materials used for glass need to be inspected to ensure that the quality meets the production requirements.

 

Glass melting
Put the dried raw materials into the melting furnace for melting and heat to above 1500℃ to melt the raw materials into liquid glass. This process requires temperature and time control to ensure that the glass quality is stable and free of impurities.

 

Molding
Pour the liquid glass into the mold for molding and immediately cut it as needed to prevent the glass from being over-solidified and difficult to shape. Molding is generally carried out mechanically or manually.

 

Quenching
Put the molded glass jar into the quenching furnace for quenching. The purpose of quenching is to increase the hardness and strength of the glass while reducing the brittleness of the glass.

 

Shaping
The quenched glass jar needs to be shaped to meet the requirements of size and shape. Shaping is mainly carried out mechanically or manually.

 

Inspection
The produced glass jars need to undergo strict inspection to ensure that the quality meets the requirements. The inspection contents include appearance quality, capacity error, high temperature and low temperature resistance, etc. Only products that pass the inspection can flow into the downstream production and sales links.

 

Packaging
After the inspection, the glass jars need to be packaged, generally in cartons or film bags. When packaging, it is necessary to protect the appearance of the glass jars to prevent cracks or damage during transportation.
