Product quality issues, abrasive wear on your equipment, flow inconsistencies… do these challenges sound familiar?
If so, you’re not alone. Many glass manufacturers struggle with issues related to poor material flow and material segregation every day.
Read our paper about designing furnace feed systems, and discover how you can enhance your production processes while maintaining high standards of quality and safety.
Key insights you’ll gain:
- Segregation Mechanisms: Identifying the primary mechanisms of segregation and how they can affect the efficiency and quality of glass production.
- Flow Patterns: The characteristics of funnel flow and mass flow, and how to achieve a uniform discharge.
- Flow Properties: Why characteristics such as wall friction and cohesive strength influence material flow.
- Design Considerations: Strategies for designing feed systems to ensure consistent flow.
Material handling challenges and their costly consequences are common in the glass industry, but you don’t have to accept them. With the right approach, you can fix ongoing issues and avoid problems in future.
Don’t let flow problems limit your operation.
