Glass bead production process:

(1) Check the forward and reverse rotation of the motor.

(2) Open the air intake of the furnace, start the induced draft fan, exhaust the remaining gas in the furnace, and after five minutes, start the circulating water pump. After the water in the furnace's downpipe flows smoothly, prepare for ignition.
(3) Open the air distribution port of a torch and start ignition. First, point the igniter at the air distribution port of the torch, slowly open the gas pipeline valve, and turn off the igniter after ignition.
(4) Start the cooling auger, start both at the same time.
(5) Start the vibrating screen.
(6) After everything is normal, check everything, ensure the equipment and furnace temperature are normal, and then open the electromagnetic feeder to start feeding.
(7) Check the quality of the glass beads, add materials slowly, and ensure the quality before increasing the furnace's production capacity.
(8) Ensure that the temperature of the glass beads will not damage the packaging before filling. The production process of glass microspheres: recycled waste glass → crushing and screening → glass sand (or purchased) → firing → cooling and screening → weighing and packaging.

Uses of glass beads:
1. Sandblasting of aviation components to eliminate stress, increase fatigue strength, and reduce friction and wear;
2. Sandblasting to remove rust, paint, carbon deposits, and machining marks;
High-strength grinding glass beads 4-5mm

3. Pre-treatment before anodizing and electroplating, in addition to cleaning, it can also increase adhesion;
4. Cleaning weld seams and removing surface scratches on stainless steel workpieces;
5. Cleaning and derusting of wire-cutting molds;
6. Removing dirt from rubber molds;
