Method and device for partial melting of rod ends

摘要

Method for treating the ends of glass strands (9) comprises placing the glass strands in holders of a support (5) and moving past a burner (3) and a rail (7) along the advancing direction. The flame of the burner melts at least one end of the glass strands. The strands are lifted by the rail into the holders and rolled on the rail so that the strands are rotated during melting. An independent claim is also included for a device for treating the ends of glass strands.
