Screen Applications in the Glass Industry
RHEWUM Screening Technologies for Glass Processing Glass can be found in almost all areas of daily life. Starting in the construction industry, through telecommunications, household, food, automotive and aircraft construction to optics. The ever-increasing demands on technical glass can only be met by using ever more precise basic materials such as quartz sand and soda. But also a variety of glass products such as glass wool, glass balls or other waste glass only become a saleable product through classification. RHEWUM screening machines are also used in the processing of glass.
Glass production
The technique of glass production has been known for over 6,000 years. It has been continuously refined until today. Since then, glass has been used in a wide range of applications and has become a versatile material. In general, every glass contains one or more glass-forming oxides. The most commonly used are silicon dioxide (SiO2), i.e. quartz sand, but also boron trioxide and phosphorus pentoxide.
