7 Uses of Air Compressors in the Glass Industry

Air compressors in the glass industry are one of the most important pieces of equipment used in all stages of production and manufacturing in the glass industry, from moving and transporting raw materials to shaping and cooling in the glass factory. One of the most common compressors is the screw compressor.

Types of Air Compressors in the Glass Industry

The most common compressors used in the glass industry are two models: screw compressors and centrifugal compressors. Naturally, different processes must be carried out to produce glass, and each process requires compressed air and a specific flow rate. Since these two models of compressed air compressors have differences from each other, we will learn more about these two models of air compressors in the following.

Model 1: Screw Compressor

One of the air compressors in glass production is the screw compressor, which is capable of producing continuous and uninterrupted compressed air. The volume of compressed air produced or the flow rate by the screw air compressor can be adjusted from 1000 to 12000 liters per minute or 1 to 12 cubic meters per minute with a load pressure of 8 to 13 bar. You can see the technical specifications and price list of the screw compressor on the CZ Compressors website.
