Does The Glass Tempering Furnace Cost Electricity? How To Reduce Electricity Energy Power Consumption in Glass Tempering Furnaces?

As a glass tempering equipment, the glass tempering furnace requires electricity to provide power for both the heating and cooling systems during operation. Does the glass tempering furnace consume electricity? It should be noted that there are many factors that affect the energy consumption of a tempering furnace, including the furnace model, furnace status, space utilization rate, glass performance requirements, etc. As a power consuming equipment, the profit of tempered glass is mostly occupied by electricity. Below, we will introduce the normal power consumption of the tempering furnace and the methods to reduce power consumption.

1. Electricity consumption of glass tempering furnace

The hourly electricity consumption of a glass tempering furnace is related to the performance, power, operating level, wafer rate, product quality, and performance of the furnace. The unit power consumption for producing glass of different specifications and thicknesses is also different. For example, the energy consumption per square meter of 4mm glass is about 3.5-4 kilowatt hours, while the energy consumption per square meter of 6mm glass is 4.5-6 kilowatt hours (here the power consumption refers to the hourly power consumption). A 2440 * 4200 tempering furnace consumes 500kW of electricity for one hour of operation without considering the specific fan model and furnace heating power difference? About h.

The above is the power consumption under theoretical conditions. The actual power consumption can be calculated based on the data provided in the operation manual or can be tested during on-site use. And facing the inevitable power consumption in the production process of intermediate frequency furnaces, how should we reduce power consumption, corresponding energy-saving calls, and reduce enterprise operating costs? Let's take a look together below.

2. Methods for reducing power consumption in glass tempering furnaces

2.1. Choose devices with relatively low energy consumption

The multi station heating technology of the tempering furnace has a certain effect on reducing energy consumption and improving the yield of tempered glass to a certain extent. The application of hollow ceramic rollers can reduce the amount of water and heat released inside the rollers compared to the use of solid ceramic rollers, reduce energy consumption, and make the glass surface heated more evenly, resulting in higher glass quality.

2.2. Choose equipment that suits the characteristics of the product

The power consumption for producing tempered glass of different models and sizes also varies, and the power of equipment operation also affects the overall power consumption and product output. When choosing tempered furnace equipment, we should have a good understanding of product characteristics, choose according to the size, specifications, characteristics, etc. of the glass, balance the input-output ratio of power consumption and output, and reduce ineffective energy consumption.

2.3. Adjusting the temperature of the heating furnace

During the heating process of a glass tempering furnace, it generally follows a mode where the upper temperature is set 5-10 degrees higher than the lower temperature, and the middle temperature is set 5-10 degrees lower than the two ends. This can ensure that the temperature difference of the glass in the effective heating area of the tempering furnace is around 5 ℃, ensuring the uniformity of glass heating.

2.4. Regular maintenance and upkeep

Regular maintenance and upkeep of the tempering furnace should be carried out based on the specific operation and production situation of the equipment to maintain good equipment operation and performance. Generally speaking, the roller path of the tempering furnace should be cleaned daily, maintained every six months, and inspected as a whole once a year. Maintaining good performance of equipment and spare parts can also help reduce power consumption.

2.5. Adjust parameters according to the product

There are differences in the required product tempering strength, product quality, and glass outlet surface temperature for different glass raw materials under process conditions such as furnace temperature, cooling air pressure, conveying speed and time, and quenching time during the tempering process. The above parameters should be adjusted according to different glass materials in a targeted manner to avoid ineffective energy consumption and reduce power consumption.

2.6. Improve yield

The losses during the production process also consume electricity, which is included in the overall power consumption of the finished product. Therefore, increasing the yield of tempered glass can reduce power consumption, which is also a key issue that tempered glass manufacturers are concerned about. Therefore, it requires us to master the operation and usage methods of glass tempering furnaces, as well as specific operating skills such as how to improve the flatness of glass tempering furnaces. It is helpful for us to improve the yield of tempered products.

The above is the sharing from glass tempering furnace manufacturers on whether glass tempering furnaces consume electricity and how to reduce electricity consumption. We hope it can be helpful to everyone. Tempering furnaces, as power consuming products, inevitably generate energy consumption during the production process. We can try to reduce power consumption through the methods shared above, which should be helpful.
