Acoustic Enclosure For Glass Quenching

Glass quenching is a critical process in the manufacture of tempered glass. It involves heating the glass to its softening point and then rapidly cooling it using a large volume of high-velocity air. This rapid cooling enhances the strength and durability of the glass by inducing compressive stresses on its surface.

Sources of Noise

The glass quenching process generates significant noise primarily from sources mentioned below:

  1. Air Blower Noise: 115 dB to 120 db.
  2. Air Discharge Noise: 110 dB and 115 db.

Noise Control Challenges

An acoustic enclosure is employed to mitigate noise emissions while allowing for essential airflow and equipment access. The enclosure must accommodate:

  • Glass conveyor entry and exit apertures
  • Fresh air inlet for blower operation (“breathing”)
  • Hot air outlet for exhaust and thermal management

Proven Expertise

With over two decades of experience, we have successfully executed numerous noise and heat mitigation projects for glass quenching systems, consistently meeting or exceeding client expectations in both performance and reliability.
