Prevent Glass Explosions: Master Temperature Control and Avoid a PR Disaster!

If I were to mention the disaster that found customer’s glass tables spontaneously exploding, would you remember? It’s crazy to think that this was nearly 7 years ago, but it is still talked about now, with the reputation of 2 retailers at the forefront. These big retailers, who have suffered enough without being named and shamed again, faced a lot of negative attention after their glass patio tables "exploded" during a heatwave.

???????? ?????????????????

Customers said their glass tables shattered suddenly, which could be very dangerous. The news reported these incidents, making people worried about the safety of these products. Even though the companies said this didn’t happen often and their products were safe, the bad publicity was hard to avoid. Many customers shared their bad experiences on social media, making the problem even bigger.

The main reason for these problems is often poor temperature control when making the glass. If the glass isn’t tempered correctly, it can develop tiny cracks or weaknesses that you can’t see. When it gets very hot, these weaknesses can cause the glass to break suddenly.

?????? ???????? ???? ?? ?????? ?????????

1. ???????????? ??????????: Broken glass can cause serious injuries, especially if it breaks into sharp pieces.
2. ???????????? ??????????: When consumers lose confidence in the safety and reliability of products, it leads to a significant decline in sales and long-term damage to the brand’s reputation.
3. ?????????? ?????? ?????????? ????????????????: If someone is injured, the company might face lawsuits and paying a lot in compensation.
4. ?????? ???????? ????????????????: As seen with these 2 retailers, bad news can spread quickly and damage a company’s reputation.

To avoid these problems, glass makers should:

1. ?????????????? ??????????????????????: Make sure the glass is heated and cooled properly to avoid weaknesses.
2. ?????????????? ????????????: Test the glass thoroughly to find and fix any problems before selling it.
3. ???????????? ??????????????????: Regularly improve how you make the glass to keep up with the best practices.
4. ?????????????????????? ??????????????: Tell customers about the safety steps you take to make sure your products are reliable.

One way to make sure the temperature is controlled properly is to use a thyristor power controller . This device helps maintain the right temperature during the glass-making process by controlling the power supply very precisely. By using a thyristor power controller, you can:

1. ???????????? ???????????????????? ????????????????????????: Keep the glass at the perfect temperature, avoiding any sudden changes that could cause weaknesses.
2. ?????????????? ??????????????: With better temperature control, the glass will be stronger and less likely to break.
3. ???????? ????????????: These controllers are efficient, helping to reduce energy use and costs.

By following these steps and using tools like thyristor power controllers, you can prevent glass from breaking unexpectedly and protect your company from bad press.
