Common procedures found in the glass industry include coating, polishing, tempering, annealing, forming, conditioning, refining, melting, and more. Melting furnaces are one of the equipment that is widely used in this sector. At Airtech Vacuum Incorporated, we carry a stellar range of industrial pumps and vacuum systems that are designed to provide top-notch performance for a great array of applications, including glass production.

About the Glass Industry

Glass is produced by melting raw materials such as limestone, soda ash, and silica sand. Cullet, from recycled container glass and/or waste glass from other manufacturing processes, is also utilized and comes in different sizes as well. That’s why different technologies have to be employed, to cater to varying production and processing routes. Over the past two decades, glass demand has been experiencing rapid growth, at a rate of nearly 4% annually.
