In this pages, we will talk about the hourglasses of our factory. I had tried to explain this issue many times in different places, like the homepage, emails even the offer sheet I sent to clients sometimes. But it’s still not clear enough as I expected. Now I am trying to do the job again. Here is enough space for me to explain about this only question.
We are the largest sand timer manufacturer in Southern China or maybe the whole of the Country. Who knows, even we have been in this field for more than 15 years, there are still factories we don’t know. And in our sight, we are the largest one.
Sand timer as you know is a device that used to measure the passage of time. It comprises two glass bulbs connected vertically by a narrow neck that allows a regulated trickle of sand from the upper bulb to the lower one.
It’s not an intricate device, but there are different designs. We separate them by the material of the frame. Including Plastic sand timer, metal sand timer, wood sand timer, glass sand timer, acrylic sand timer and resin sand timer.
plastic sand timer
We call it plastic because most of them have plastic lids of each end. And there is an acrylic or PC tube to protect the glass bulbs from broken when you drop it on the ground carelessly. So this kind of sand timer is very suitable for the kids.
Metal sand timer
The frame made of metal. See the image on the right.
Wood sand timer
The frame material is wood, and the wood sand timer is an excellent home decoration. See the image on the right.
Acrylic sand timer
It is a very special sand timer. The whole bulbs are inside a clear acrylic body. The sand timer is stable, it will not break even you drop it on the ground. The acrylic body can be engraved in some words.
Glass sand timer
For this design, there isn’t any frame. Just two glass bulbs connected vertically by a narrow neck. But the glass bulbs can be in different shapes or even in different colors.
Resin sand timer
The lids are made of resin, and you can customize any shapes you want. For some designs, there are inside figures, the material of them are resin, too.
