PROCESS FOR PRODUCING MOLTEN GLASS

摘要

Method and apparatus for producing heat-softenable mineral into materials such as glass. The process and apparatus carry on processing of mineral material from a batch stage through melting in a furnace (10), delivering streams of the material and attenuating them to filaments and packaging the filaments. By impinging the surface of molten glass with a flame of high energy heat from a burner (11), production is substantially increased and the amount of energy employed per ton of molten glass is reduced.
