Keeping in mind the application of our glass tubes, special
care is taken right from the selection of the high quality
raw materials. Utmost care is taken to ensure that correct
quantity of raw materials is weighed, mixed, conveyed and
stored with special emphasis on avoiding batch segregation
whilst conveying and storing in the silos. The batch is prepared
with a sophisticated batching controller which ensures compliance
of the mixture in accordance with our time tested and proven
batch composition which ensures minimal migration of alkali
release to the surface of the glass container.
The
batch is melted in a modern well designed furnace using high
quality refractories capable of withstanding high temperature
of 16000C. It is not only
the furnace but the complete glass plant is equipped with
state of art computerized control systems which ensure uniform
and homogenous melting of glass. Over and above the distributed
control system our plant is equipped with the most advanced
Supervisory Control Software thereby eliminating the need
of operator intervention and monitoring of the plant. The
entire plant process in monitored and controlled from a computerized
control station room. The tubes are drawn using the danner
process equipped with precise temperature and speed control.
The tube drawing machines are capable of drawing tubes upto
linear speed of 150 meters per minute with practically no
variation thereby attributing a high level of dimensional
uniformity and accuracy of our tubes. The dimensional accuracies
are electronically controlled in close loop using non contact
laser technology.
These
tubes are parted from the main catenary using high rpm carbide
discs thereby resulting in low generation of glass particles
which are eventually air washed on the end trimming and glazing
machine. The tubes are finally shrink wrapped in square pack
and packed in corrugated boxes for the domestic market or
palletized for the export market as per customer requirements.
In
an effort towards assuring our commitment towards Quality,
all shipments are supported with Certificate of Conformity
by our Quality Assurance Department.
