    Glass manufacturing has evolved significantly since the earliest glass was created in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. By the 15th century, Venice had become a major center of glassmaking in Europe. Modern glass production uses a highly controlled process where ingredients are melted at 1500 degrees Celsius then formed into a continuous ribbon on a float bath of molten tin. This ribbon undergoes coating, annealing to relieve stresses, inspection, and automated cutting into sheets. Precise ingredient mixing and advanced technology allow for high quality glass production on a large scale.

    The key takeaways are that the earliest known man-made glass dates back to around 3500BC in Egypt and Mesopotamia, and glass making was further developed in Egypt around 1500BC.

    Glass was first made in the ancient world, but little is known about man’s first efforts to make glass. Glass making was further developed in Egypt around 1500BC. By the time of Crusades, glass manufacturing was developed in Venice and it became glassmaking center of the western world.

    In the float glass process, a continuous ribbon of molten glass floats along the surface of molten tin to give it a flat, parallel surface. Then coatings can be applied and the glass is annealed by gradual cooling to relieve stresses before inspection and cutting.

    GLASS HISTORY

     The very first glass known to stone age.


     The earliest known man-made glass are date
    back to around 3500BC, with finds in Egypt
    and Eastern Mesopotamia.
    INVENTION OF GLASS

     Glass was first made in the ancient world,


    but little is known about man’s first efforts
    to make glass.
     Glass making was further developed in Egypt around 1500BC.
    GLASS MANUFACTURING HISTORTY

     By the time of Crusades, glass manufacturing was


    developed in Venice and it became glassmaking center
    of the western world.
      In 1291 glassmaking equipment was transferred to the
    island of Murano.
     After 1890, glass use, development and manufacture 
    began to increase rapidly.

    2. Float Bath
    3. Coating
    PROCESS 4. Annealing
    5. Inspection
    6. Cutting
    Fine grained ingredients closely controlled for
    quality, are mixed to make a batch,
    which flows into the furnace, which
    is heated up to 1500 degree Celsius.

    MELTING AND REFINING


    A continuous ribbon of molten glass floats
    Along the surface of molten tin. All
    irregularities are melted out of the ribbon,
    To give the glass a flat, parallel surface.

    FLOAT BATH
    Coatings that make profound changes in optical
    properties can be applied by advanced high
    temperature technology to the cooling ribbon of glass.

    COATING
    The glass is annealed an gradually cooled
    to around 200 °C, to relieve stresses in
    the glass and prevent splitting and breaking
    In the cutting phase

    ANNEALING
    To ensure the highest quality, glass manufacturers
    carry out inspection at every stage.

    INSPECTION
    The ribbon moves to the ‘cold end’
    of the line where it is washed
    and automatically cut, as it travels along
    the rollers.
