The Methods and precautions for cleaning and maintaining glass tempering furnaces

Glass tempering furnace is the main equipment used for heat treatment of glass, and its normal operation and long-term use require regular cleaning and maintenance. Here, we will briefly introduce the methods and precautions for cleaning and maintaining glass tempering furnaces to ensure their high energy efficiency and extend their service life.

1. Methods for cleaning and maintaining glass tempering furnaces

1.1. Surface cleaning method

Use a soft cloth or sponge dipped in warm water and neutral cleaning agent to gently wipe the surface of the glass tempering furnace to remove dust and stains. Be careful not to use hard objects or frosted cloths to avoid scratching the surface.

When cleaning furnace doors and observation windows, special attention should be paid not to deform or damage them. Suitable cleaning agents and soft brushes can be used for cleaning.

1.2. Internal cleaning methods

After cooling the furnace, use a vacuum cleaner or soft brush to remove dust and debris from the furnace chamber. If there is residue or sintered material in the furnace cavity, a furnace cavity cleaner can be used for cleaning. Follow the instructions of the cleaning agent, pay attention to protecting hands and eyes, and avoid direct contact.

1.3. Cleaning of furnace bottom and ventilation system

Regularly clean the dust and debris at the bottom of the furnace to maintain good ventilation. Clean the filters of the ventilation system to ensure smooth ventilation and prevent dust and dirt from entering the furnace chamber.

2. Precautions for Cleaning and Maintenance of Glass Tempering Furnace

2.1. Conduct regular inspections

Check the sealing performance of the furnace to ensure that the furnace door, observation window, and sealing strip are intact and undamaged. Check the working status of the heating elements and temperature control system to ensure their normal operation. Check the power cord and electrical components to ensure circuit safety.

2.2. Avoid excessive heating

Pay attention to controlling the heating temperature and time to avoid excessive heating causing material deformation or damage to the furnace body inside the furnace. Regular replacement of vulnerable parts: Based on the frequency of use and the condition of the furnace, replace vulnerable parts regularly, such as heating elements, observation windows, and sealing strips, to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

2.3. Pay attention to safe operation

During the cleaning and maintenance process, be sure to cut off the power supply and follow the safety guidelines in the operating manual. Avoid using flammable or corrosive cleaning agents to prevent damage to the equipment.

Cleaning and maintenance of glass tempering furnaces are crucial for maintaining the normal operation of equipment and extending its service life. By adopting appropriate cleaning methods such as surface cleaning, internal cleaning, and bottom ventilation system cleaning, the furnace can be kept clean and ventilated smoothly. In addition, regular inspections, avoiding excessive heating, regularly replacing vulnerable parts, and paying attention to safe operation are also important measures to maintain the good condition of the glass tempering furnace. The correct cleaning and maintenance methods can improve the efficiency of equipment, extend its service life, and ensure the quality and safety of the glass processing process.
