Thermocouples for the glass industry Reliability under extreme conditions GÜNTHER GmbH Temperaturmesstechnik has been manufacturing thermocouples and resistance thermometers for applications in almost all industrial sectors at five European locations since 1968. The core business is the development and production of small series tailored to the requirements of the customers. Extensive material stocks, as well as different, independent suppliers for raw materials or components used usually allow for short production times. This also guarantees that spare parts can be supplied at short notice....

Thermocouples with precious metal protection sleeve for direct glass contact Direct temperature measurement in molten glass is of vital importance in production processes. In the distributor, forehearth and feeder, the monitoring system serves to control and regulate a continuously constant glass temperature. Usually a number of different thermocouples with precious metal protection sleeves are used here, whose measuring tips are in constant contact with the liquid glass. Distributor and forehearth thermocouples are designed as single or double elements as required. For the so-called sieve or...

Thermocouples for the glass industry High temperature thermocouples without glass contact Thermocouples with ceramic protection tubes play an important role in the glass manufacturing process. Tub vault or crown thermocouples are exposed to extreme conditions (up to 1800°C). They can be used for both direct and indirect measurements. As in the vault, the temperature in the side wall and in the bottom of the tub is also of high interest. Here, both direct temperature measurement in the molten glass and indirect measurement in the lining are used. For temperature measurements in the regenerators,...

Materials Thermocouples Due to the predominantly very high process temperatures in glass production, generally precious metal thermocouples (type R, S, B) are used. Thermocouples of the types N, K or J are sometimes also utilised in the work steps following the melting process. For extreme applications, it is also possible to employ ”stabilised“ thermowire, so-called ”SPTwire“, in which the crystal lattice structure has been optimised – in this way, a significantly increased durability can be achieved. With our HTmax series, we offer another possibility to measure temperatures in the upper limit...

The end products in the glass industry are diverse - hollow and container glass, flat glass, quartz glass, glass wool and many other product groups require different types of processing of the raw material. GUNTHER has specialised in developing and manufacturing temperature sensors that are precisely optimised to the conditions and requirements of the respective production lines. The decisive factor here is not only the selection of the right materials for the construction of the protective fittings and the choice of the right thermocouple for the temperature range, but also the planning and...
