1. Once glass breakage occurs in the chiller of the glass tempering furnace, the shattered glass may cut the kevlar rope on the roller. As a result, Broken kevlar ropes can damage the subsequent high-temperature softened glass coming out of the furnace, leading to glass breakage or scratches. Therefore, whenever a broken kevlar rope is found, immediate inspection and replacement are required.

2. Remove the broken kevlar rope from the roller in the chiller. Clean completely adhesive substances and bonding materials on the roller surface. Make sure that the surface of the rollers is smooth.

3. Apply adhesive to the underside (the side that contacts the steel roller) of the kevlar rope and wind the Kevlar rope onto the roller. Ensure the top surface of the kevlar rope (the side that contacts the underside of the glass) is clean and tidy.

4. When winding the kevlar rope, always keep the kevlar rope in proper tension so that it stays straight and untwisted. The spiral of an kevlar rope has uniform pitches with the spiral direction opposite to that of the kevlar rope on the adjacent roller.

5. Secure the ends of the kevlar rope on the roller.
