The basic function of this position is to direct the batching, melting, and forming operations according to current management policies and established operating parameters and procedures, in order to meet plant goals regarding safety, quality, production, costs, productivity, housekeeping, and employee relations.

The Tank Department consists of two 600 tons per day capacity tanks operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Automotive black and green glasses are produced in many thicknesses on one tank. Clear for the solar market will be produced on the second tank. Mixed ingredients are fed from the batch plant into the two tanks and melted in temperature that exceed 2900F. The molten glass flows from these tanks into respective baths of molten tin where it floats on the tin surface, thereby creating a ribbon of glass with parallel surfaces and uniform thickness. The glass is then conveyed to the rolls in the annealing lehr where it is cooled to room temperature. After cooling, the glass is delivered to the Wareroom for inspection, cutting, packing and shipping

This position's responsibilities fall into the category of coordinating and directing production activities of the batch plant, tanks, baths, and lehrs.
