Melter wall and orifice durability: O-I Glass PackagingRecent Research Landscape

Refractory degradation and thermal shock in melters and orifice rings limit the service life and purity of molten glass delivery.

What technical problems is O-I Glass Packaging addressing in Melter wall and orifice durability?

Orifice ring thermal degradation

(4)evidences

Thermal shock and chemical corrosion cause refractory liner fragmentation, leading to molten glass contamination and orifice failure.

Melter wall heat flux

(4)evidences

High-temperature molten glass causes rapid degradation and corrosive wear of furnace containment surfaces during the melting process.
