French term or phrase: Industries de fabrication mécanique du verre
Hello

Simply in a long list of industries that recognize a training course and therefore with no other contextual help, it's the word ***mecanique*** that stumps me. We have turned glass and blown glass and extruded glass but I don't think we have anything like "mechanically-produced glass.
What could they mean?

Thanks in advance

mechanical glass production industries
Explanation:
After 1920 the rapidly increasing demand for glass
left the glassworks no option but to mechanize the
blowing and drawing operations. To do this it was
necessary to change from batch melting in pots to
continuous melting in furnaces.

In the United States glass tubing was already being
mechanically drawn in about 1920 by the Danner
process, in which a stream of hot glass flows on to
a rotating ceramic mandrel (figs 1 and 2).

From 1912 to 1916, Owens turned his attention to perfecting the mechanical process for making window glass, which had been pioneered by Irving Colburn.

Businessman Michael Joseph Owens (January 1, 1859-December 27, 1923) was America’s foremost genius in the development of mechanical glass production.

took this one for a reason that could be controversial i.e.that it had hits and was closest to the Swedish.

machine-made glass sector


Explanation:
The underside of machine-made glass will be smooth, and sets of glasses perfectly matched.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/property/3322097/The-can...

Glass can either be cheap machine-made glass or expensive glass known as Antique which is still made in the traditional fashion; i.e. hand-blown and hand-coloured.
http://deliandesigns.co.uk/stained-glass-as-an-art/

"Stern" Tankard. Inexpensive, machine made glass.
http://www.crystal.glass-engraver.co.uk/pages/825-method-of-...

Modern machine-made glass is generally not an appropriate alternative to hand made glass.

glass production industry (industrial manufacture of glass)


Explanation:
Définition de « fabrication mécanique du verre » :

Convention collective nationale des industries de fabrication mécanique du verre du 8 juin 1972
:
2. Elle s'applique aux industries de la fabrication du verre (usines, sièges sociaux, services commerciaux, dépôts de vente et tous établissements dépendant directement des usines de fabrication), mentionnées dans la nomenclature des activités économiques, en application du décret n° 59-534 du 9 avril 1959 et énumérées ci-dessous :

301.1. Fabrication de verre plat, de moulages, de fibres de verre.
:
301.2. Fabrication de bouteilles, bonbonnes, gobeleterie, flaconnage, etc., en grande série (fabrication entièrement automatique dite Verrerie mécanique).
:
301.4. Fabrication de verre technique
https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichIDCC.do?idArticle=KALIA...

« Fabrication mécanique du verre », est donc « Mechanical manufacture of glass ».

Below the main processes for mechanical manufacture of glass:

Blow-and-blow process
A production process used for glass container manufacturing with forming machines. The elongated gob of molten glass formed by the gob feeder falls into the inverted parison (blank) mould. It is blown down into the mould (settle blow) before being blown from below (counter blow) back up into the now closed mould.

Cast glass
Glass produced by 'casting', in other words by pouring molten glass into a mould or by heating glass already contained in the mould until the glass melts and assumes the shape of the mould

Drawn glass
A process for making sheet glass by drawing the molten glass as a sheet directly from the furnace. The thickness of the glass is determined by the drawing rate.

Flat glass
All types of glass (rolled, float, plate, etc.) produced in a flat form, regardless of the method of production.

Float process
A method for the production of high-quality sheet glass whereby a ribbon of molten glass is fed across a bath of heated liquid, usually molten tin, in a carefully controlled atmosphere. The process was developed by the UK firm Pilkington Brothers

Laminated glass
Laminated (or compound) glass consists of two or more sheets of glass with one or more viscous plastic layers "sandwiched" between the glass panes. The solid joining of the glasses takes place in a pressurised vessel called an autoclave. In the autoclave, under simultaneous heating of the already processed layers of glass and special plastic, lamination occurs.

Plate glass
Flat glass made by the casting or rolling of molten glass which is then mechanically ground and polished to produce a smooth and transparent sheet.

Pressed glass
Glassware formed by placing a blob of molten glass in a metal mould, then pressing it with a metal plunger or "follower" to form the inside shape. The resultant piece, termed "mould-pressed," has an interior form independent of the exterior, in contrast to mouldblown glass, whose interior corresponds to the outer form. The process of pressing glass was first mechanized in the United States between 1820 and 1830.

Rolled glass
Rolled (or cast) glass is a translucent glass with 50-80% light transmission, depending on its thickness and type of surface. It is used where transparency of the glass sheet is not important or not desired.
To produce rolled glass, molten glass pours from the melting tank over a refractory barrier (the "weir") and onto the machine slab where it flows under a refractory gate (the "tweel"), which regulates the volume of glass, and then between two water-cooled rollers. The distance between the rollers determines the thickness of the glass.

Wired glass
Flat rolled glass reinforced with wire mesh and used especially for glass doors and roofing to prevent objects from smashing through the glass and also to hold pieces of broken glass together. By holding the glass together, it can also protect against break-in and the spreading of fire.
Wired glass is produced by continuously feeding wire mesh from a roller into the molten glass ribbon just before it undergoes cooling.

Note: The production of laminated glass was supervised and verified by me during my activity as factory inspector.

The industrial manufacture of glass dates back to the beginning of the twentieth century.

The industrial manufacture of glass, advanced by processes such as cylindrical glass and finally float glass, resulted in vastly reduced cost.

Worker safety education using models that identify and reinforce factors affecting behavior is essential. The present study aimed to determine the effect of safety education based on motivational interviewing on awareness of, attitudes toward, and engagement in worker safety in the glass production industry in Hamedan, Iran, in 2014.

For BDF I can invert my proposal, too:
"Industrial manufacture of glass" (glass production industry)

Reference: the machine-made glass sector

Reference information:
The English grammar is perfectly fine.
Georg's tremendous talent for strategic thinking led to the Riedel acquisition of the German glass company F.X Nachtmann in 2004. Georg took this momentous decision for the Riedel Company because he sees potential for incredible growth in the machine-made glass sector. There will always be a market for fine, hand-made glasses, but on the machine-made side of things, there is far more competition and it is vital to remain ahead of the game.
