Container Glass Applications
Glass Industry
Temperature measurement in Glass industry is critical for ensuring optimal glass production quality, consistency, and energy efficiency. Accurate temperature control during melting and forming processes prevents defects, enhances strength, and improves overall product durability. It also helps reduce energy consumption, lowering production costs and minimizing environmental impact in the glass industry. monitoring helps prevent overheating, improve energy efficiency, and maintain the desired properties of the steel products, such as hardness and tensile strength.
The glass containers such as bottles, jars and bowls etc are the various products manufactured in this process. It involves the transfer of molten metal from the working tank to one or more for hearths/feeders. The molten glass then flows into the gob from where it is dropped into the various moulds where the glass forming is done. The most important and critical region is the Fore hearth/Feeder. Proper temperature is to be maintained in the Fore hearth. By doing so it can be ensured that the molten glass reaching the gob is in homogeneous state. As we know change in temperature is critical to glass viscosity. A slight change leads to changes in viscosity as well.
Working Tank Application
Recommended Product: 450G2
Temperature measurement is crucial for maintaining homogeneous condition of the molten glass exiting the tank.
Recommended :
450 G2
Temperature range 600°C to 1800°C
Feeder / Forehearth Application
Recommended Product: 450G2
The Pyrosens 450G2 is the right solution for the monitoring of temperature in the Fore hearth. The fast response time is useful in monitoring changes in temperature range. Pyrometer contains small optical head which makes it easier to reach the harsh locations and the Fibre Optic Cable can withstand ambient temperature up to 250°C very easily.
The accessory such as air purge unit helps in purging and keeps the optical lens clean, and the mounting system provides proper support to the pyrometer.

450 G2
Temperature range 600°C to 1800°C
Glass Gob Application
Recommended Product: A450C FO-PL
Glass gob temperature measurements can only be made using non-contact thermometers. The pyrometers needed for this application must be fast-acting due to the high cycle frequency and must be capable of measuring the temperature inside the gob.
This is necessary because the surface temperature of the glass is very easily influenced by ambient conditions. It is usual to store the maximum measured temperature (peak picking) for subsequent processing. Two colour techniques make the instrument work accurately in contaminated atmosphere
Recommended :
A450 C FO-PL
Temperature range- 600°C -1600°C| 800°C – 2500°C| 1000°C – 3200°C
Glass Mould Application
Recommended Product: PGM+
With a temperature range of 250°C to 600°C, it provides instantaneous temperature readings and features data logging with a single press of a switch. The pyrometer stores temperature readings in memory, including the serial number, date, and time, ensuring that data is preserved even when the unit is powered off or the battery is removed.
