Tank kiln - Tank kiln

Japanese: タンク窯 - タンクがま
Tank kiln - Tank kiln
A box-shaped kiln with an arched ceiling attached to a tank made of firebricks. It is a typical kiln for continuously melting large amounts of glass raw materials used for plate glass, bottle glass, glass fiber, etc. Heating is done from the side or rear with heavy oil or gas burners. The kiln consists of a melting section, a fining section, and a working section. The melting section melts the raw materials that continuously enter through the raw material inlet at 1400-1600°C. The molten glass raw materials undergo a sufficient vitrification reaction in the fining section, removing bubbles and turning into homogeneous glass.
