Raw Material Preparation

Glass production begins with precise preparation of the raw material batch — silica sand, soda ash, limestone, and cullet mixed to an exact recipe that determines the glass composition and colour. Batch preparation equipment must deliver a consistent, homogeneous mix at high throughput. We supply complete batch house equipment for float glass, container glass, and specialty glass plants.

What we supply

• Silica sand storage silos and pneumatic transfer systems
• Jaw crushers and rod mills for raw material sizing
• Weighing and dosing systems — loss-in-weight and gain-in-weight configurations
• Batch mixers — pan mixers and drum mixers for homogeneous batch preparation
• Wet batch systems for reduced batch dust and improved homogeneity
• Cullet (recycled glass) handling — crushing, conveying, metal removal
• Batch transport to furnace — belt conveyors, bucket elevators, and pneumatic systems

How the project proceeds

1. Define the glass composition, batch throughput, and cullet usage rate
2. Select batch house equipment layout and dosing system type
3. Source from qualified glass equipment manufacturers
4. Support batch house commissioning and recipe validation

Why Infinity

Batch preparation accuracy directly affects furnace energy consumption and glass quality. We source dosing systems with the weighing accuracy required for the specific glass composition — high-accuracy weighing for specialty glass, standard dosing for container glass applications.
