METHOD OF PRODUCTION OF SHEET GLASS OF GREATER THAN EQUILIBRIUM THICKNESS

摘要

float-glass production. SUBSTANCE: proposed method of production of sheet glass of greater than equilibrium thickness includes cooling of near-side sections of plane-parallel tape of glass which is provided by side-holding mechanisms with subsequent, compression of tape between at least two pairs of such mechanisms. Second pair of mechanisms operates at linear speed less than speed of first pair. EFFECT: high quality glass owing to accurate control of its thickness. 2 dwg
