Lehr (glassmaking)
text:
In the manufacture of float glass, a lehr oven is a long kiln with an end-to-end temperature gradient, which is used for annealing newly made glass objects that are transported through the temperature gradient either on rollers or on a conveyor belt. The annealing renders glass into a stronger material with fewer internal stresses, and with a lower probability of breaking. The rapid cooling of molten glass results in an uneven temperature distribution throughout the material. This temperature di
