What are the important factors affecting the quality of glass bottles

In our impression, the biggest characteristics of glass bottles are fragile, mainly in transparent form, smooth surface, etc. but what we don’t know is that glass bottle manufacturers will eliminate some products with rough surface and poor aesthetics after production. These products are generally not recognized by the manufacturers due to quality problems. What are the factors affecting their production quality? Next, let’s talk about the biggest factor affecting the quality of glass bottles.

In the production of glass bottles, there are many production materials, quartz sand is one of them, and the content of quartz sand is the most important factor affecting the production quality of glass bottles. As we all know, iron oxide is generally contained in glass raw materials, which is unfavorable to the production of glass, especially for glass bottles and utensils. If the iron content in the batch exceeds the requirements, the transparency of glass will decrease and the glass products will turn yellow green. The quartz sand in the glass batch contains not only high iron content, but also the largest amount. Therefore, when the glass products have high requirements, in addition to choosing quartz sand with low iron content, the batch should also be iron removed if necessary. During the preparation of the batch, some foreign iron impurities may be mixed, such as iron mixed by equipment wear, equipment parts, iron nails, screws, etc. falling into the batch, iron brought in by improper treatment of broken glass, etc. Therefore, during manual mixing, it is better to install some permanent magnets or electromagnets on the screen to remove the iron mixed in the batching process. This measure has played a good role in removing iron in the production, improving the transparency of glass products and effectively reducing the occurrence of defective products in the production process.

The above is some introduction about the factors affecting the production quality of glass bottles. I hope it can help you.
