Preventing glasses frame deformation: Ice water cooling production technology in eyewear production

In the process of making glasses with plastic/acetate frames, common problems include eyeglasses with uneven temple and crooked of the front glasses frame.
To avoid these issues, our glasses factory incorporates a key step in producing acetate glasses - ice water cooling.


What is ice water cooling?
Ice water cooling involves quickly immersing the glasses frame, which has just been shaped at a high temperature, into ice water.
By utilizing the principle of rapid cooling, the glasses material undergoes a quick transition from a high temperature state to a normal temperature state, thereby fixing its shape.

Why do glasses frames need to be cooled with ice water?
The glasses frame is prone to deformation during the natural cooling process after being shaped at high temperatures.
Ice water cooling allows the frame to quickly stabilize its final shape and prevents deformation problems caused by slow cooling.

Which processes in the glasses production of our factory require ice water cooling?
Bending: Ice water cooling is performed after bending to prevent frame deformation during the grinding roller process, thereby maintaining the shape.
Frame adjusting: Before packaging, the frame undergoes ice water treatment after adjustment, which helps reset and avoid imbalanced temples.

Does ice water cooling of glasses affect the surface quality of the frame?
Ice water cooling may cause slight scratches on the polished frame, so we usually place foam paper in between to protect it.

Is ice water cooling suitable for all eyewear materials?
Ice water cooling is highly effective for frames made of most plastic acetate materials.

Conclusion:
Ice water cooling is an essential step in eyewear production, ensuring the product's shape stability.
I hope that through this blog, you can gain a better understanding of the key technologies and processes we employ in the eyewear production industry.
