What Should I Do If The Glass Tempering Furnace Power Off? Handling Methods And Precautions When Power Cut Off for Glass Tempering Machine

Tempered glass can be seen everywhere in daily life, whether it is building exterior walls, decorative glass, automotive glass, etc. Nowadays, its application is very extensive. During the use of tempered furnaces, various problems are inevitable, some equipment malfunctions, and some external forces have an uncontrollable impact, such as power outages. You should know that tempered glass needs to be continuously heated to a certain degree during the tempering process before it can be discharged from the furnace. So, what if the glass tempering furnace loses power during the heating process?

1. Emergency response methods for sudden power outage

What should I do if the glass tempering furnace loses power? During the operation of the glass tempering furnace equipment, a sudden power outage occurs, and the glass being heated and cooled in the equipment will also be stuck in the furnace. It is necessary to promptly handle and discharge the glass, otherwise it may stick on the roller path and cause damage to the furnace.

The specific handling method is as follows:

1.1. Clean up the remaining pieces in the furnace:

First, press and hold the emergency discharge button on the operation box until all the glass is discharged from the furnace. The staff can open the gate at the equipment connection. After the temperature inside the furnace drops, check if there is any glass stuck in the heating section. Attention should be paid to personal safety protection work here to avoid injury to workers caused by residual temperature in the heating section of the tempering furnace. When it is confirmed that there is no glass residue in the glass tempering furnace, inspect the equipment and turn off the power to evacuate the work area.

1.2. Manual rotating the ceramic roller driving of furnace:

In the process of sudden power outage, the temperature inside the furnace will not directly drop, and cooling requires a certain amount of time. To avoid deformation of the glass roller due to uneven heating, the furnace should be manually shaken after the sudden power outage to ensure even heating of the roller, and then stopped after cooling down.

1.3. Cleaning glass fragments:

The glass fragments shaken out of the glass tempering furnace may scatter around the furnace body. It is necessary to clean the surrounding area of the tempering furnace and the remaining glass inside the furnace. If any glass fragments have not been shaken out, they can be scraped off with a small knife or treated by other methods. According to the method of cleaning the glass tempering furnace introduced earlier, the furnace body should be cleaned and maintained. At this time, attention should be paid to powering off the tempering furnace before operating to avoid sudden power outages.

1.4. Check the furnace body: After restoring the alarm system, check if there are any parts on the furnace body and the upper and lower sections that have been burned by high-temperature glass fragments, and troubleshoot the equipment.

2. Precautions for power outage of glass tempering furnace

In general, it is not recommended to shut down the glass tempering furnace for production, as the amount of electricity consumed after each shutdown is several times that of long-term operation, which can cause power waste. Additionally, a sudden power outage may cause damage to the equipment. There may be multiple reasons for a sudden power outage in the glass tempering furnace, and specific measures need to be taken according to the situation.

2.1. If it is a temporary power outage in the factory area, you can handle it using the glass tempering furnace power outage described above.

2.2. If it is only a sudden power outage of the equipment and other equipment in the factory can be used normally, there may be some malfunctions in the equipment when it is powered on normally. In this case, timely contact the after-sales service personnel of the tempering furnace manufacturer for maintenance and handling to avoid affecting the normal use of the equipment.

2.3. If it is a long-term power outage, the equipment should be powered off and thoroughly cleaned, with doors and windows closed and other protective measures taken. Before reuse, the tempering furnace should be cleaned, and attention should be paid to cleaning the dust accumulation at the roller path, discharge port, and discharge port to avoid sticking to the surface of the original glass sheet and causing defects such as production spots.

The above is an introduction by the glass tempering furnace manufacturer on the handling methods and related precautions for equipment power outages, hoping to be helpful to everyone
