A glass melting furnace is a specialized industrial furnace used to melt raw materials to produce glass. It operates at high temperatures typically ranging from 1,600 to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit (about 870 to 1,100 degrees Celsius). The furnace is designed to provide a controlled environment for melting a mixture of silica sand (the primary ingredient in glass), soda ash, limestone, and various additives depending on the desired glass composition.
