Method and arrangement for feeding a glass melt to a processing process

摘要

The invention includes a method and an arrangement for influencing the flow of glass melts in a controlled way during the transfer from the melting furnace to a processing process. The simultaneous generation of electric and magnetic fields generates a force in the glass melt which boosts or inhibits the melt flow and acts substantially in the same direction as or in the opposite direction to the main direction of flow. It is in this way possible to control the melt flow without affecting the temperature of the melt. Consequently, the invention is suitable in particular for the accurately controllable feeding of a homogeneous glass melt to a glass production process.
