Efficient Control Of Glass Melting Furnaces

The glass melting furnace is central to any glass production facility. For the plant to run efficiently the glass quality must be maintained consistently while using all energy sources as efficiently as possible. The only way to achieve this is to accurately control the operation of the furnace by continually monitoring the operating variables and maintaining them at the desired optimum values. The use of electronic control systems, together with the appropriate sensors, enables this to be achieved on a modern glass melting furnace. Maintaining good control of the furnace also maximises furnace life.
