Before commissioning a glass tempering furnace, it is crucial to ensure that all components and systems are in optimal condition to guarantee safe and efficient operation. The following checklist outlines the key requirements:

Leveling of All Sections:

All parts of the tempering furnace, including rollers and chillers, must be properly leveled. This is essential for achieving consistent glass quality and preventing operational issues caused by uneven equipment alignment.

Proper Lubrication:

Ensure that all moving parts are adequately lubricated, with lubricant added to the specified levels. Proper lubrication reduces friction, minimizes wear, and ensures smooth operation of the furnace components.

Smooth Operation of the Drive System:

The drive system should run smoothly without any abnormal noise. Implementing all necessary safety measures is vital to prevent accidents and maintain reliable performance throughout the furnace’s operation.

Electrical System Integrity:

The furnace's electrical system must be correctly wired, with reliable grounding and insulation. This is crucial to ensure the safety of both the equipment and personnel, reducing the risk of electrical hazards during operation.

Reliable Air System:

The air system must maintain good airtightness to ensure the necessary pressure and airflow within the furnace. This is essential for achieving the desired glass tempering results.

Stable Blower and Blowing System:

The blower and blowing system should function smoothly without abnormal noise and must be securely fixed in place. Stability is key to maintaining the efficiency and effectiveness of the tempering process.

Convection Blower and Cooling System Check:

Inspect the convection blower for any signs of damage, deformation, or loose fasteners. The motor should rotate freely when turned by hand. Additionally, the water cooling system for the high-temperature convection blower must operate properly to prevent overheating and ensure consistent performance.

By thoroughly checking and confirming these conditions, the tempering furnace will be ready for commissioning, paving the way for safe, efficient, and high-quality glass production.
