The building of the factory was covered with curtain walls with
blue glass. As it was a glass factory unit, it was obvious that
most of the exterior and interior elements were made of glass.
There are three such glass processing units in India. In Mumbai,
Chennai and Hyderabad.
 RAW MATERIALS (GLASS)

 Silica (60%)
 Cullet (19%)
 Soda-ash (10%)
 Dolomite (6%)
 Lime stone (5%)


The types of glass processed in this factory used in architecture
are:
Tempered glass/Toughened glass
Heat strengthened glass
Heat soaked glass
Fine rated glass
Laminated glass
Insulated glass
Ceramic printed glass
Security glass
Decorative glass
 As we entered the processing area, there were glass
movers everywhere which had small spherical wheels on
them which helped the glass panels to move from one
section to another. It insured faster and safe movement
of glass.

 Automatic glass loader facilitated glass cutting without

touching coated sides.

 There were 2 washing machines which conducted high
pressure pre-wash with soft bristles with 0.2 mm
diameter.
 It protects from coating damage.
 Then the glass is moved into the radiation tempering
oven where the heat is transferred into the glass through
radiation mode. Glass is subjected to longer stay in the
furnace so that there is no uneven heating of glass.

 Then it is moved into the top and bottom convection

tempering oven where the glass is tempered with
emissivity as low as 0.03.
  The glass is then moved into the lamination line where
the DM water is used for proper adhesion.
 It is a cleaned room with controlled humidity and
temperature. Also dust free atmosphere.
 The PVB is stored in a clean area and is automatically
layed.
 Infrared heaters for de-airing and edge sealing.
