Two ways to go:
1.Assuming the glass is hot enough simply increase the air pressure in the quench boxes to increase the rate of cooling.
2.If you then experience high breakage in the quench it is because the glass is not hot enough so reduce the line-speed to increase the time in the heater. Be aware that the optical quality of the glass will reduce as the exit temperature of the glass increases. (Viscosity of glass halves for every 9 degrees C increase in temperature).
