    Marbles are created through a batch production process where recycled glass is melted in a kiln at 1204 degrees Celsius for 16 hours then flows out to be cut by a shearing device into half-second segments called slugs that become marbles of uniform size as they cool on a spinning cast over 72 hours; the color is determined during melting in the kiln and final inspection checks the quality before distribution.

    How It’s Made - Marbles

    Marbles are small balls of glass that have been played with since ancient Egyptian and
    roman times. The Batch production method is used to create the marbles as each
    marble goes through the same stage of production at the same time before the next and all are
    similar in the end.
    To begin the process recycled glass from previously faulty marbles is melted in a kiln
    at 1204 degrees Celsius and after 16 hours a door is opened at the bottom of the kiln and the
    molten glass flows out. It is cut by a shearing device that cuts the stream every half a second
    forming segments called slugs that become marbles. To make different size marbles the
    machine is adjusted. The slugs slide down shoots landing between grooves on the spinning
    cast. The spinning keeps the slugs from sticking after 72 hours the marbles will be cooled and
    ready. The color was already determined in the kiln and at the final stage, they are inspected.
