The measurement of temperature at critical locations in the production process is essential for the full understanding and efficient control of container glass manufacture and processing. Illustrated below are some of the locations for these measurements and our recommendations for the best choice of instrument. If your specific area of interest is not covered here, our engineers will be pleased to discuss your requirements with you.

5. Tank Outer Surface
The condition and safety of the furnace refractories are vitally important, especially as the end of a campaign approaches. A LAND thermal imager or a portable thermometer from the Cyclops range can be used to make routine checks on key areas of the tank to minimize the possibility of glass break-out or refractory failure.

9. Glass Forehearth
Delivering the glass, in an homogeneous condition and at a precise temperature makes accurate and consistent temperature control in the forehearth vital. The silicon cell detector used in so many radiation thermometers in the glass industry is at the heart of the Fibroptic Model FG thermometer, custom designed for this application. Water cooling is not required and installation is simple.
Land Instruments recommends:
