Product Description

Product Description

Our premium Glass Beads are crafted with precision from lead-free, soda lime-type glass, ensuring they are completely free from silica content and formed into perfect ball shapes. These innovative beads deliver a superior, smoother, and brighter finish compared to traditional angular abrasives. Experience the transformative power of Glass Bead Blasting, achieving a pristine, bright, and satin finish with absolutely no change to the dimensions of your parts. Uniquely sustainable, these glass beads can be recycled up to 30 times, making them both chemically inert and eco-friendly. Glass beads are the ideal choice for metal cleaning or surface finishing, providing a reliable, consistent performance when applied correctly.

APPLICATIONS
Glass bead blasting is the ultimate solution for achieving a pristine, bright satin finish without altering the dimensions of your parts. Available in a diverse range of sizes, glass beads are principally utilized in blasting cabinets for a multitude of purposes, including honing, polishing, peening, blending, finishing, and effectively cleaning most light foreign substances. When working with delicate thin-walled parts and thin welds, the peening process with glass bead abrasive material delivers optimal stress relief without causing damage or over-stressing. It is essential to consider the size of perforations or holes through which the glass beads must pass when separating parts from media after use, ensuring a flawless and efficient operation.

Production Process

 

Raw Material Preparation:
Selection of Glass: Carefully select high-quality glass materials, often utilizing recycled glass, soda-lime glass, or other specialized glass types, tailored to the desired properties for optimal performance.
Cleaning and Crushing: Thoroughly cleanse the chosen glass to eliminate impurities, followed by precision crushing into smaller, manageable pieces.

Melting:
Furnace Heating: The meticulously crushed glass pieces undergo melting in a high-temperature furnace, with temperatures ranging between 1400-1600 degrees Celsius (2552-2912 degrees Fahrenheit), ensuring complete liquefaction for uniform bead formation.

Formation of Beads:
Droplet Formation: Transform the molten glass into droplets using advanced methods to ensure quality:
Rotary Method: Pour the molten glass onto a rotating disk or drum, expertly spinning off small droplets that solidify into perfect spherical shapes as they cool.
Sieve Method: Pass the molten glass through a sieve or mesh, generating uniform droplets that gracefully fall and solidify into beads.
Cooling: Rapidly cool the glass droplets as they descend to form solid glass beads, achieving a desirable spherical shape while preventing imperfections.

Annealing:
Stress Relief: The newly formed glass beads go through an annealing oven, where they are gradually cooled to alleviate internal stresses, significantly boosting their strength and durability.

Screening and Classification:
Sorting by Size: Employ vibrating screens or sophisticated classification equipment to sort the cooled glass beads by size, ensuring uniformity. Beads are meticulously categorized into various grades based on their diameters.
Surface Treatment (Optional):

Coating or Polishing: For specific applications, the glass beads may undergo specialized surface treatments such as coating to enhance properties like reflectivity, durability, or color. Polishing may also be applied to achieve a lustrous, smooth finish.

Quality Control:
Inspection: Perform rigorous quality checks to ensure the glass beads adhere to stringent standards. Tests may include assessments of size uniformity, roundness, hardness, and any surface defects.

Storage: Store the carefully packaged glass beads in a dry, controlled setting to preserve their quality and prevent any contamination.
