Glass Annealing Lehr
Long oven used in the glass manufacturing process for uniform controlled cooling of glass ribbon from the tin bath
In flat glass production, the annealing lehr is used to cool the glass ribbon as it exits the tin bath. This process removes residual internal stress and eliminates optical distortions, ensuring stability in the glass structure. By carefully controlling the temperature curve throughout the lehr, the glass cools gradually without introducing new stresses, which guarantees mechanical strength, thermal stability, and optical uniformity.
