Glass Industry

Glass manufacturing is a high-temperature, energy-intensive process. The production of glass containers and bottles involves raw materials such as sand and recycled glass, combined with refining, heating, and casting operations. Components in glass production plants are exposed to extreme wear, corrosion, and heat.

The glass industry includes multiple sectors, each with specific processes and requirements.

 

TSS provides advanced surface engineering coatings designed to meet the stringent demands of glass manufacturing, delivering exceptional protection even in the harshest environments.

Our Solutions for Glass Manufacturing Applications:

  • Glass Plungers
    Glass plungers are particularly susceptible to wear, heat damage, and corrosion. Applying suitable thermal spray coatings significantly extends component life, reduces downtime, and improves operational efficiency.

  • Glass Bottle and Container Moulds
    Moulds operate under severe conditions of wear, corrosion, and high temperatures. Our HVOF coatings reduce oxidation and wear, while substantially increasing the service life of moulds, including the mould base, funnel, and neck areas.

  • Glass Neckrings
    Thermal spray coatings protect glass neckrings from abrasion and heat, enhancing durability and reducing maintenance frequency.

  • Glass Chutes
    Chutes experience constant wear and exposure to extreme temperatures. Our coatings minimise wear, extend component life, and contribute to lower downtime across production lines.

TSS combines expertise and proprietary coatings technology to ensure glass manufacturing equipment performs reliably and lasts longer, helping plants maintain efficiency and reduce operational costs.
