Shanghai Jichi is committed to the digitalization and intelligent development of the glass industry
Key Components and Process Flow:
Raw Material Processing
Raw Material Preparation: Primary ingredients (e.g., quartz sand, soda ash, limestone) are blended in specific proportions.
Batching System: Automated weighing systems ensure precise ratio control for consistent glass composition.
Melting Furnace: Mixed raw materials are fed into a furnace and melted at high temperatures (~1500℃) to form molten glass. Natural gas or electricity is used for heating.
Refining and Homogenization: Molten glass is refined to remove bubbles and impurities, ensuring uniformity.
Forming
Forming Machine: Molten glass flows through a forehearth to forming machines.
Common methods include: Blow-Blow Process: For narrow-neck containers, Press-Blow Process: For wide-mouth containers.
Molds: Glass is shaped into containers via blowing or pressing in precision molds.
Annealing
Annealing Lehr: Newly formed containers undergo gradual cooling to relieve internal stresses and prevent cracking.
Inspection
Automated Inspection Equipment: Containers are checked for dimensions, wall thickness, and defects (e.g., bubbles, cracks).
Manual Sampling: Random manual inspections supplement automated checks to ensure quality standards.
Packaging
Packaging Systems: Approved containers are automatically packaged in cartons or on pallets.
Palletizing: Packaged containers are stacked by robotic palletizers for storage and shipping.
Auxiliary Systems
Cooling Systems: Cool molds and formed containers.
Waste Gas Treatment: Process emissions from furnaces to minimize environmental impact.
Control Systems: Automated monitoring and adjustment of all production parameters for stability and efficiency.
Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency
Waste Heat Recovery: Modern lines capture exhaust heat to preheat air or generate electricity.
Emission Control: Dust removal and desulfurization technologies reduce pollutants.
Automation and Smart Manufacturing
Automated Control: PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and DCS (Distributed Control System) integration for precision operation.
Intelligent Management: MES (Manufacturing Execution System) and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems optimize production planning and real-time monitoring.
Maintenance and Servicing
Scheduled Maintenance: Regular upkeep ensures operational reliability and extends equipment lifespan.
Fault Diagnosis: Intelligent diagnostics preemptively identify issues to minimize downtime.
