How To Replace The Fused Silica Ceramic Rollers in The Glass Tempering Furnace? Methods for Disassembling And Maintaining Ceramic Rollers

Ceramic rollers are an important part of the various components of the glass tempering furnace, and the roller conveyor is responsible for the transportation of glass raw materials throughout the entire glass tempering furnace system. When glass falls on the ceramic roller, it will be transported forward to the predetermined position and is an important component of the rotating system. The quality of the ceramic roller directly affects the quality of tempered glass. So, how to replace the ceramic roller in the glass tempering furnace if there is a problem? Below, I will introduce to you the disassembly and installation methods of the ceramic roller conveyor, as well as the maintenance methods during use.

1、 How to replace the ceramic rollers in the glass tempering furnace

1. Method for dismantling ceramic rollers

After the power is cut off and the ceramic rollers of the tempering furnace cool down, they can be replaced. After removing the screws that fix the bearings, three to four people should operate simultaneously. One person should stand on each side, and one to two people should stand in the middle. At the same time, use force to lift the ceramic rollers and place them on the roller conveyor frame. This transportation mechanism can help manual labor complete the transportation of the roller conveyor without entering the furnace. The operation should be gentle and careful not to cause collisions or scratches on the roller conveyor.

2. Installation method of ceramic rollers

When replacing the ceramic rollers of the glass tempering furnace, it is necessary to perform a simple cleaning of the installation position after removing the old ceramic rollers to avoid impurities or other factors that may affect the installation. Afterwards, place the roller conveyor near the location where it needs to be installed, and have multiple people lift the new roller onto the conveyor like dismantling the roller. Slowly push it into the tempering furnace, then fix the bearings and pulleys, lift the ceramic roller from the conveyor, align the bearings with the bearing holes on the bottom plate of the ceramic roller, and slowly insert them. Check the rotation of the ceramic roller by hand, confirm that it operates smoothly, and then tighten the screws that fix the bearings.

2、 Maintenance methods for ceramic rollers in tempering furnaces

1. Daily cleaning: You can use a vacuum cleaner to clean the floating dust on the surface of ceramic rollers every day. Use a soft, hairless white cloth to wipe off dust from the middle to both sides in a moist and waterless environment. Avoid using alkaline cleaning agents or chemical agents to clean the ceramic rollers here to prevent corrosion to the surface of the roller conveyor.

2. Keep dry: To avoid steam generation before use, ceramic rollers should be kept dry before heating, and spare parts should be placed in a dry and ventilated place to avoid mold growth.

3. Daily use: If the glass tempering furnace experiences explosion or other situations during operation, resulting in glass breakage in the furnace, the furnace should be stopped in a timely manner to cool down, the broken glass should be shaken out for cleaning, and the ceramic rollers should be checked for adhesion and cleaned in a timely manner to avoid affecting other glass during operation.

The above is an introduction to how to replace the ceramic rollers in the glass tempering furnace, specifically the disassembly and maintenance methods of the ceramic roller conveyor.
