Why can't the high-temperature kiln in the glass factory be shut down? What will happen if it is stopped?

First，if the production is stopped after the raw materials are melted, the raw materials remaining inside the equipment will cool down, thus blocking the equipment. The second reason is that the melting of auxiliary materials consumes energy. In addition to silicates, glass production also requires some auxiliary materials, such as potash fossils, soda ash, bauxite, and red lead. These auxiliary materials have high melting points and must be kept in liquid state at all times after production starts. If the production is stopped, it will have to be reheated later, which will undoubtedly increase the cost of restarting the equipment, and the energy consumed by restarting the equipment is relatively more.

The second reason is the problem of cooling. When the glass is formed, there will be a cooling process, and different glasses will have different cooling environments. If the glass factory stops production, these cooling environments must be restarted, which also increases the cost. Not only that, if it causes a disorder in the machine data system, it will be even more costly. Therefore, in order to avoid the above serious consequences, glass factories generally do not stop production casually.
