Product Description

Product Description

Experience the pinnacle of surface finishing with our Clear Glass Beads, expertly crafted from lead-free, soda lime-type glass. This high-performance abrasive contains no free silica and is formed into pre-defined spherical shapes. Unlike angular abrasives, our glass beads produce exceptionally smoother and more radiant finishes. The process of glass bead blasting results in a pristine, lustrous satin finish while preserving the original dimensions of your components. With the remarkable ability to be recycled approximately 30 times, these chemically inert and environmentally friendly glass beads offer an unparalleled solution for metal cleaning or surface finishing when used under precise control.

APPLICATIONS
Unlock the potential of your intricate projects with glass bead blasting, delivering a flawless, radiant satin finish without compromising the dimensional integrity of parts. Available in a diverse array of sizes, these versatile glass beads are ideal for use in blasting cabinets, where they excel in honing, polishing, peening, blending, finishing, removing light burrs, and cleansing light foreign residues. For fragile, thin-walled components and slender welds, glass bead peening strikes the perfect balance of stress alleviation without inflicting damage. When separating parts from media post-use, be mindful of the perforations or holes' size to ensure the smooth passage of glass beads.

Production Process

 

Raw Material Preparation:
Selection of Glass: Carefully select premium glass materials, often utilizing recycled glass, soda-lime glass, or other specialized glass types tailored to achieve the desired properties for optimal performance.
Cleaning and Crushing: Cleanse the chosen glass meticulously to eliminate impurities, followed by a precise crushing process to break it down into smaller, manageable pieces.

Melting:
Furnace Heating: Subject the crushed glass pieces to intense heat in a high-temperature furnace, generally maintained at 1400-1600 degrees Celsius (2552-2912 degrees Fahrenheit), ensuring complete liquefaction to form perfectly uniform beads.

Formation of Beads:
Droplet Formation: Transform the molten glass into droplets using sophisticated methods:
Rotary Method: Gently pour the molten glass onto a rotating disk or drum, elegantly dispersing small droplets that solidify into spherical shapes as they cool.
Sieve Method: Guide the molten glass through a sieve or mesh, generating uniform droplets that gracefully descend and solidify into pristine beads.
Cooling: Rapidly cool the glass droplets as they fall, ensuring the creation of solid glass beads. This swift cooling is crucial in achieving a perfect spherical shape and eliminates any irregularities.

Annealing:
Stress Relief: Pass the formed glass beads through an annealing oven for slow, deliberate cooling. This vital process alleviates internal stresses, significantly enhancing the strength and longevity of the beads.

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

Coating or Polishing: Tailor the surface treatment to suit the intended application, which may involve coating to enhance properties like reflectivity, durability, or aesthetic color. Polishing is also available to achieve a flawlessly smooth and radiant surface.

Quality Control:
Inspection: Conduct thorough quality inspections, ensuring the glass beads meet rigorous standards. These tests include verifying size uniformity, roundness, hardness, and checking for any surface imperfections.

Storage: Safeguard the packaged glass beads by storing them in a dry, controlled environment, preserving their quality and preventing any potential contamination.
