Glass is a very common thing in our lives, whether it is the window of the house, or the water glass, drink bottle, mobile phone screen and other glass applications can be said to be very extensive, our life is inseparable from glass.
However, in the production process of glass, it is not possible to end when it begins, and the production process of glass will not be stopped if there are no accidents, and many people may wonder why this is?
I don't know if you have heard such a story when you were a child, when you were still in a less developed period, the lights at that time also needed a "light rope" to control, when it was dark to turn on the lights, grandma would always say, don't pull the "light rope", if the lights are turned off and turn on again, it will cost a few cents.
Now that I think about this story, I am still quite rich, people in that period cherished electricity very much, and were reluctant to waste a little electricity, and they were afraid that the "lamp rope" would often be pulled and broken, so I told a joke like this to children.
But the fact that the glass factory can't be shut down is not alarmist, it really can't be shut down, and once it is shut down, it will have to face millions of losses.
So why can't the glass factory be shut down, and why does it cost a lot of money to shut down, I believe everyone is curious.
Let's walk into today's topic of "3 machines that can't be stopped, why do the machines in the glass factory lose millions if they stop for one day?".
1. Why can't the glass factory be shut down?
The production process of glass needs to go through the mixing of raw materials, crushing, smelting to profiling, annealing, cutting, inspection and other tedious processes.
The production of the glass factory is an assembly line process, which is handed over to the next process after the completion of the previous process, during which each program is constantly running, and the machine is also constantly running.
Due to the production process of the assembly line, the machine cannot be stopped, and if the machine stops running, the following problems will be formed.
If the machine stops, the first thing that will be affected is that it will affect the production efficiency, because the production of glass is linked one by one, and if the previous step is broken down or delayed for some reason, then the next step will be affected.
When signing a glass order, there will be a delivery time of the order, if it is delayed because of a certain process of production, then the delivery period of the entire order will be affected, which is also a breach of contract, and it is also necessary to face liquidated damages to compensate the customer.
According to statistics, according to the ordinary glass production line, it can produce 200 square meters of glass per minute, and if the machine stops for one day, the production of 288,000 square meters of glass will be delayed.
According to the price of 10 yuan per square meter, then the loss of one day is 2.88 million yuan.
The production of glass is carried out in a high temperature and high pressure environment, if the production process is stopped, then it will affect the change of temperature and pressure, in this case, the fluidity and stability of the produced glass liquid will be of great inferiority.
The influence of the quality of the molten glass will affect the solidification or crystallization process of the molten glass when it enters the next equipment, and may even lead to the blockage or damage of the equipment.
During the solidification of the molten glass, the shrinkage and stress changes of the glass will occur, which is likely to cause cracks, bubbles and deformation of the produced glass.
In this way, the safety and quality of the glass products produced will be greatly reduced. If the above situation occurs, then the glass produced will become substandard glass.
The production of glass factories is an energy-intensive industry, and if it is stopped due to some accident in the middle of the process, it will lead to the impact on resources and production costs.
If the equipment is stopped, then the equipment must still ensure a certain high temperature and high pressure after the shutdown to avoid damage to the equipment due to changes in the environment.
However, not producing and only keeping the machines running will lead to a waste of various resources such as electricity, fuel, and water.
If the equipment of the glass factory is restarted after a shutdown, it will also need to be debugged and reheated to start working again, which will also require more manpower and material resources, resulting in increased production costs.
The ordinary glass production line needs to consume 2,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity every hour, and if it stops running for a day, it will waste 48,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity in vain, and if each kilowatt-hour of industrial electricity is 6 cents, then 28,800 yuan will be spent in vain on the problem of light electricity.
To sum up, we can know that the glass factory can not be stopped in the production process, once it stops running, it will face huge losses, as little as hundreds of thousands, more than millions, and it is likely that a shutdown will lead to the bankruptcy of the entire factory.
The glass factory must ensure continuous and stable development, and cannot stop in the middle of the process, which will affect the quality of the glass and increase the production cost.
Second, the glass factory can not stop the "three brothers"
There are many equipment in the glass factory, and the production line is also very complex, among which there are three most important machines, which are the core part of the glass factory.
The melting cellar, which is the core of glass production, is a huge dissolving device made of refractory materials to heat the raw materials to a certain temperature and allow the materials to melt into a uniform glass liquid.
The temperature in the furnace can reach more than 1400 degrees, and in order to ensure the normal operation of the furnace, it is necessary to continuously add combustion materials to ensure the high temperature in the furnace.
Since the glass can take on the form of a liquid at high temperatures, if the melting cellar stops, then all the molten glass will solidify in the melting cellar, so both the liquid glass and the melting cellar are damaged, and the next step can not be carried out.
Molding machine. As the name suggests, the molding machine is a device for forming glass, and at this stage, it is basically the final stage of glass production, and the glass can be made into various shapes, whether it is long, round or square, it is affected by this machine.
If the molding machine stops, it will also cause the liquid glass to get stuck in the machine, and both the liquid glass and the molding machine will be damaged.
Annealer. This is a buffering process for the molded glass, the newly formed glass is still under the condition of high temperature and high pressure, if it is exposed to the air at once, then the finished glass will be damaged.
After the annealing furnace device, the cracks and stresses inside the glass can be reduced, so that the glass produced is of higher quality, and the strength and stability meet the standard.
The annealing furnace cannot be stopped, and if it does, it will cause the finished product to cool down rapidly, causing the glass to crack and even explode.
In summary, it can be seen that the three links of melting cellar, forming machine and annealing furnace are very important for the production of glass, and the smooth progress of these links must be ensured in the production process.
3. How to ensure the normal operation of the glass factory
Glass production, like our human heart, cannot be slack, and if it stops, the consequences are immeasurable.
So what should operators do to ensure the normal operation of glass factories?
To ensure the stable operation of the equipment, the equipment is just like our human body, and problems will occur when it is always in the work, so it is necessary to carry out regular inspection and maintenance of the equipment, so as to eliminate problems in time, and repair and replace the damaged parts of the equipment in time.
In addition to the problem of equipment, we should also pay attention to the problem of personnel, no matter how accurate the machine is in the production process, it is still controlled by hand.
Then the professional level of labor is very important, to determine the professional level of technical personnel to train and improve, and actively introduce more capable talents to ensure the correct use of the machine.
In addition to making efforts in equipment and labor, it is also necessary to specify different emergency plans for different emergencies, so that when an accident occurs, we will not be in a hurry, and actively go to learn from other glass factories, learn from their experience and strengths, and increase the professional level of our factory.
For glass factories, the losses caused by every minute of stopping are unimaginable to us ordinary people, so if there is an emergency plan, then the equipment can resume operation faster and minimize the loss.
summary
Through the above introduction, I believe that many people understand why the glass factory cannot be shut down, and also understand that the three major machines associated with the glass factory cannot be shut down, and these machines ensure the temperature, pressure, fluidity, stability and other problems in the glass production process.
For the production of glass factory, it can be said that it affects the whole body, no matter which link has a problem, then the next process can not be carried out smoothly, so it is necessary to ensure that every link can be carried out safely and smoothly in production.
Today's glass factories are also facing great challenges, although the demand is large, but the competition between glass factories is also obvious, how to stand out from the crowd, has become a way out that many glass factories want to find.
In the accumulated social competition, how to get better orders and produce orders with quality and quantity has become a mission that many glass factories have to complete.
Glass as a must-have indispensable thing in our lives, its production process is more complex, many people do not know much about the production process of glass, I believe that through today's introduction, everyone can have a simple understanding.
Every production environment of glass is critical, which affects the quality of the finished product and affects the production of the next process, and the production process is very complex.
In life, we should learn to cherish and care for every glass product we have, and respecting the items in our hands is equivalent to respecting the workers and factories who work hard in the production process.
So do you have any more and better opinions on "3 machines that can't be stopped, why do the machines in the glass factory lose millions if they stop for one day?"?
