The results of the study are presented and the reasons for the instability of the high quality of float glass at a high level of equipment and technology used in the production of glass are analyzed. Based on the analysis, it was concluded that it is impossible to achieve a consistently high quality of the final product without solving the problem of improving the quality of raw materials used in the production of the charge. The most effective (according to the authors) way of solving this problem is proposed - tightening the requirements for the raw materials produced for the glass batch with the setting of high and stable quality characteristics.

Models based on neural networks, describing the process of annealing a moving strip of sheet glass in a tunnel oven, have been developed. The problem of annealing temperature control is formulated. Simulation modeling shows the effectiveness of the control algorithm in comparison with manual control of the annealing process. The implementation of a decision support system for a production technologist is described. Tab. 1, ill. 2, bibliography: 2 titles.
On the example of the analysis of articles of the heat balance of glass-melting furnaces with a horseshoe-shaped flame, methods of increasing the thermal efficiency of industrial glass-making are considered. The possibility of developing glass-melting container glass furnaces with the world level of energy efficiency is shown. Tab. 3, ill. 1, bibliography: 7 titles.
Optimization of physicochemical processes in the preparation of glass batch, improvement of the processes of its preparation, transportation, feeding into the glass-making furnace and quality indicators of the batch are important, but not decisive for obtaining high-quality finished products - glass. The redox characteristics of the components for the preparation of the charge, the charge itself and the redox potential of the molten glass, welded on its basis, along with the above factors, are of great importance on the glass-making process and the quality of the melted glass. The analysis of redox processes occurring during the penetration of a soda-sulfate charge of the composition of float glass, and optimization of the introduction of sodium sulfate and coal into the charge to obtain a charge, which further increases the stability of the cooking process, increases the output and improves the quality of the final product for such defects as bubbles and inclusion.

An increase in the efficiency of grinding by reducing the consumption of diamond grinding wheels by choosing the optimal bond hardness and using more durable diamond powders with an optimal concentration is considered. New wheels on a bond of hardness HB100-105 with diamond powder AC50 - AC65 with a powder concentration of 62.5% are recommended for industrial use. Il. 3, bibliography: 4 titles.
It is shown that the magnetic enrichment of crushed secondary bakor raw materials (scrap bakor and factory waste) on a magnetic separator produced by the electromechanical company EMCO made it possible to improve the quality of the products produced by the plant. Il. 1, bibliography: 2 titles.
