Glass products need to be fired at high temperatures. So glass furnaces usually use refractory materials to construct. Enhancing furnace lifespan and production efficiency is a cornerstone of the glass industry. The quality of refractory products plays a pivotal role in the performance of glass furnaces. Kerui can provide various high-quality refractories and solutions for the glass industry.
Main Refractories Used in the Glass Furnace
Glass furnaces are subjected to extreme conditions during the production process, including temperatures up to 1600°C, intense chemical corrosion, and severe thermal shock. As a result, different parts of the furnace require refractory materials with specific performance characteristics. It is particularly crucial for the refractory materials to resist chemical reactions with the glass melt. This ensures the smooth operation of the furnace and the quality of glass products.
Kerui Refractory offers a range of products tailored to the specific needs of glass furnaces. Additionally, we can produce customized refractory products based on customer requirements. Here are the main refractories used in glass furnace:
- High-Quality Silica Bricks
- Fused AZS Bricks/Blocks
- Alumina Bricks
- Magnesium Bricks
- Magnesium Chromium Grid Bricks
- High Alumina Bricks
- Low Porosity Clay Bricks
- Zircon Bricks
- Mullite Bricks
- Silica Wire Stone Bricks
- Calcium Silicate Insulation Boards
- Ceramic Fiber Products
