Batch preparation refers to the process of calculating the composition based on the designed glass composition and given raw material composition, then mixing by glass mixer, determining the ingredient list, and weighing the raw materials according to the ingredient list. It is the first process of glass production technology and a key process that affects the quality of glass.

The process mainly includes the storage, weighing, mixing with glass intensive mixer, and transportation of raw materials, requiring uniform mixing and stable chemical composition of the ingredients. High quality mixing materials require certain moisture, temperature, particle size, good mixing uniformity, and accurate chemical composition

Batch preparation is the first process in glass production technology, which refers to the precise calculation, weighing, mixing, and transportation of various raw materials (such as quartz sand, soda ash, etc.) according to the formula designed based on the composition of the glass, in order to form a chemically stable and melting compliant batch.

The purpose is to obtain a compound with stable components and uniform mixing. High quality mixing materials are a prerequisite for efficient and high-quality melting of glass.Refamix develops high efficiency glass mixer that can achieve good quality mixed materials.  Any attempt to compensate for the shortage of mixing materials by strengthening melting is uneconomical.

The preparation of mixed materials mainly includes the storage, weighing, mixing, and transportation of raw materials. The specific process usually includes transportation and storage of raw materials, processing (drying, crushing, sieving, iron removal), weighing, high efficiency glass planetary mixer mixing, and transportation and storage of mixed materials.

Qualified blending materials should meet the following requirements: they must have correctness and stability; Having a certain amount of moisture (such as 3-5% water added to soda ash mix); Must have a certain particle composition; Has a certain gas rate (generally, the gas rate of sodium calcium silicate glass is 16-20%); Must be mixed evenly
