Product Description

Product Description

Crafted from soda lime-type glass, our Clear Spherical Glass Beads are meticulously manufactured free of lead and silica, expertly molded into perfect preformed ball shapes. These glass beads offer a superior, smoother, and significantly brighter finish compared to traditional angular abrasives. The glass bead blasting process yields a pristine, bright, satin finish, ensuring no dimensional alterations to your components. Remarkably economical, our glass beads can be recycled up to 30 times, marking them as both chemically inert and environmentally conscious. This makes them an ideal choice for metal cleaning and surface finishing tasks when used under proper conditions.

APPLICATIONS
Experience the transformative power of glass bead blasting, renowned for delivering a clean, bright, satin finish without altering the dimensions of your parts. Offered in a diverse range of sizes, these versatile glass beads are predominantly utilized in blasting cabinets for a multitude of applications including honing, polishing, peening, blending, finishing, the removal of light burrs, and the cleaning of most light foreign matter. For sensitive thin-walled parts and delicate welds, glass bead peening offers the perfect stress relief balance, preventing over-stressing and potential damage. Always consider the size of perforations or holes through which the glass beads must pass when separating parts from media after use to ensure precision and cleanliness in your operations.

Production Process

 

Raw Material Preparation:
Selection of Glass: Carefully select high-quality glass materials, often incorporating eco-friendly recycled glass or soda-lime glass. Choose specific glass types tailored to ensure optimal performance and desired properties for every application.
Cleaning and Crushing: Meticulously clean the chosen glass to eliminate impurities and ensure purity. Crush it into smaller, manageable pieces, setting the stage for flawless transformation.

Melting:
Furnace Heating: Heat the crushed glass in a high-temperature furnace, reaching soaring temperatures of approximately 1400-1600 degrees Celsius (2552-2912 degrees Fahrenheit). Achieve complete liquefaction to form perfectly uniform beads with unmatched precision.

Formation of Beads:
Droplet Formation: Skillfully transform the molten glass into droplets using innovative techniques:
Rotary Method: Pour the molten glass onto a rapidly rotating disk or drum. This spins off small droplets that naturally cool and solidify into perfect spherical shapes, exemplifying mastery in production.
Sieve Method: Pass the molten glass through a fine sieve or mesh, creating consistently uniform droplets that descend and solidify into precise beads, ensuring top-tier quality.
Cooling: Swiftly cool the glass droplets as they descend, solidifying into pristine glass beads. Rapid cooling ensures the formation of ideal spherical shapes, eliminating irregularities and maintaining excellence.

Annealing:
Stress Relief: Pass the newly formed glass beads through a specialized annealing oven, where they are gradually and systematically cooled. This critical process alleviates internal stresses, enhancing the strength and durability of the beads, ensuring longevity and reliability.

Screening and Classification:
Sorting by Size: Precisely sort the cooled glass beads using sophisticated vibrating screens or classification equipment. Ensure absolute uniformity in size, categorizing beads into distinct grades based on their diameters, readying them for diverse applications.
Surface Treatment (Optional):

Coating or Polishing: For specialized applications, enhance the glass beads with advanced surface treatments like coating to boost properties such as reflectivity, durability, or color. Alternatively, polish the beads to achieve a flawlessly smooth and lustrous surface, meeting the highest standards.

Quality Control:
Inspection: Conduct comprehensive quality checks to ensure the glass beads conform to stringent standards. Tests include assessments for size uniformity, roundness, hardness, and the absence of surface defects, ensuring superior quality and performance.

Storage: Store the meticulously packaged glass beads in a dry, controlled environment. This vital step maintains their pristine quality and prevents any risk of contamination, preserving their readiness for immediate use.
