Manufacturing
According to specific formula, raw
materials after being weighed and mixed in batch plant are
transferred to melting furnace. Glass gobs are formed to insulator
shell on the press table and after homogenization in LEHR, go to
toughening station. Toughened glass shells pass through a thermal
shock line for screening the defected parts. Whole process is fully
automated and controlled by PLC.
Glass
Storage
For higher reliability of t oughened
glass insulators in service conditions, as a routine process all
produced glass shells are stored in outdoor for two successive
seasons. This ensures that very fine micro cracks possibly existing
in toughened glass shells will grow and lead to breakage thus
reducing the risk of failure in service.
Assembly
Glass shells are assembled with ductile iron caps and forged steel
pins using aluminous cement through
a
semi automated assembly line. All the metallic parts are h ot dip
galvanized. After 24 hours the insulators come out from curing
water pool and completed with split pins.
Packaging
For a safe and convenient transportation and handling, the
insulators are packed in wooden crates and then on pallets.
