<p>A melting furnace for glass manufacture which is provided at its one end (1) with an infeed opening (7) for batch material (6), and which has at its other end molten-glass outfeed means (12). The furnace includes at least one furnace burner (10, 11) which together with molten material (8) present in the furnace heats and melts the batch material charged to the furnace and present in the form of a layer on the melt, during movement of the batch material towards the other end (2) of the furnace, so that the batch material mixes with the melt. The furnace also includes at least one further burner (13) of the so-called oxygen-fuel-type at the infeed-end (1) of the furnace, so as to achieve additional, intensive heating of batch material (6) charged to the furnace, in combination with at least one further burner (14) of the so-called oxygen-fuel-type provided to achieve additional, intensive heating of the molten material (8) essentially in the hottest zone (9) of the melt. The invention also relates to a method for use when manufacturing glass in a melting furnace.</p> |
