Product Description

Product Description

Crafted with precision, our Glass Beads are produced from lead-free, soda lime glass, meticulously formed into perfect spheres. These beads contain no free silica, ensuring a safer alternative for your blasting needs. Unlike angular abrasives, glass beads deliver a significantly smoother and more lustrous finish. Experience the brilliance of glass bead blasting with its ability to achieve a pristine, bright, and satin-like finish, all while preserving the original dimensions of your components. With impressive recyclability, glass beads can be used approximately 30 times, enhancing cost-effectiveness. Their chemically inert nature and environmentally friendly composition make glass beads a preferred choice for sustainable metal cleaning and surface finishing, especially when applied with precision.

APPLICATIONS
Glass bead blasting excels at delivering a pristine, bright, satin finish without altering the dimensions of your parts. Offered in an extensive variety of sizes, these versatile glass beads are perfect for use in blasting cabinets, enabling tasks such as honing, polishing, peening, blending, finishing, and removing light burrs, as well as effectively cleaning most light contaminants. When working with delicate, thin-walled components or fine welds, glass bead peening offers an optimal balance of stress relief, minimizing the risk of over-stressing and potential damage. Consideration of the size of perforations or holes through which glass beads must pass during screen separation post-use is crucial for efficiency and effectiveness.

Production Process

 

Raw Material Preparation:
Selection of Glass: Choose the finest glass materials for optimal results, often involving recycled glass, soda-lime glass, or other specialized types, each selected for its unique properties to meet specific needs.
Cleaning and Crushing: Meticulously clean the chosen glass to remove any impurities, followed by expertly crushing it into smaller, precise fragments.

Melting:
Furnace Heating: Subject the crushed glass pieces to intense heat in a high-temperature furnace, typically reaching 1400-1600 degrees Celsius (2552-2912 degrees Fahrenheit), ensuring complete liquefaction for the creation of uniform, high-quality beads.

Formation of Beads:
Droplet Formation: Skillfully transform the molten glass into droplets using advanced techniques:
Rotary Method: The molten glass is skillfully poured onto a rotating disk or drum, which propels small droplets outward, where they solidify into perfect spherical shapes as they cool.
Sieve Method: The molten glass passes through a precisely engineered sieve or mesh, forming uniform droplets that cascade down, solidifying into consistently rounded beads.
Cooling: As the glass droplets descend, they are rapidly cooled, forming solid glass beads. This swift cooling is crucial for achieving a flawless spherical shape and prevents any irregularities.

Annealing:
Stress Relief: The freshly formed glass beads undergo a precise annealing process, moving through an oven where they cool slowly, relieving internal stresses and significantly boosting their strength and durability.

Screening and Classification:
Sorting by Size: Employ vibrating screens or sophisticated classification equipment to meticulously sort the cooled glass beads, ensuring each one meets exact size specifications, and categorizing them into grades based on diameter.
Surface Treatment (Optional):

Coating or Polishing: Depending on the desired application, the glass beads may undergo specialized surface treatments, such as coating to enhance reflectivity, durability, or color. Polishing may also be applied to achieve a smooth, lustrous surface.

Quality Control:
Inspection: Perform comprehensive quality checks to ensure the glass beads adhere to the highest standards. This includes tests for size uniformity, roundness, hardness, and the identification of any surface defects.

Storage: Carefully store the packaged glass beads in a dry, controlled environment to preserve their quality and prevent any contamination.
