HOMOGENIZING APPARATUS AND GLASS MAKING FURNACE

摘要

A glass making furnace wherein the glass constituents are fed from a hopper (10) into a melting chamber (15). Molten glass flows into the chamber (16) for passage through a homogenizer (25) for shear mixing of the glass and elimination of bubbles therefrom. A flow modulating valve (50) regulates the rate of flow of the molten glass to an extrusion nozzle (93).
