Maintaining process stability in glass forming: Managing friction under operational pressure

Wednesday 20th May 16:20 - 16:40

Conference

Glass forming operations are increasingly exposed to tighter operating conditions, where stability becomes critical to maintaining performance and quality.

In these environments, friction at the interface between hot glass and forming equipment is often treated as a secondary variable, despite its direct impact on process consistency, defect rates and equipment wear.

This presentation explores how friction can be approached as a controlled parameter within forming operations, drawing from field experience to illustrate its role in maintaining stable production conditions under operational pressure.
