Technical FAQs 4

Why is a tin bath important for float glass production?

The tin bath is the heart of every float glass production line; it is a decisive quality factor. Consequently, at Grenzebach, it is always tailored to each customer’s requirements. Using process simulation, we are able to extract the ultimate in yield and quality.

What is the temperature of a tin bath?

In the tin bath, the temperature of the glass drops from 1,050 degrees Celsius or 1,922 Fahrenheit at the inlet to around 600 degrees Celsius or 1,112 degrees Fahrenheit at the outlet and the glass ribbon leaves the tin bath in a formed and pre-hardened condition. Grenzebach delivers the complete tin bath with everything that goes with it.

Does solar control glass need to be tinted?

No need for tinted glass: As solar control glass makes use of special layers of coatings to reflect the solar radiation, there is no need for any form of tinting. Certain frames make it tricky to install window tinting easily, such as a skylight, so there are design benefits to choosing solar control glass too.

What is a tin bath roof?

The tin bath roof completes the tin bath; it seals it and generates overpressure in the tin bath to shield the process from the outside world. Among other things, this is where the uniform temperature distribution is determined, which is a critical factor for optimal glass production.
