Glass Making Process

The process of making glass has several steps. First, the main ingredients which are sand, soda, and limestone are mixed in a furnace. Then, the furnace is set to a very high temperature which turned those ingredients into a liquid form called liquid glass. After that, the still hot liquid glass is poured through pipes branch depends on the form of glass to be manufactured. To make glass plates, the next step the liquid glass is channeled to a container equipped with some rollers that formed it into plates. On the other hand, to produce another form such as bottles, the hot liquid glass flowed and pushed by compressed air into a bottle mould. Finally, the newly formed bottle glass can be removed from the mould. These are the relatively simple process of manufacturing glass in its designed form.
