Forehearth homogenization method and apparatus

摘要

A forehearth for feeding molten glass to a flow feeder, a set of blenders, and a set of homogenizers are spaced from each other along the length of the forehearth with three evenly spaced vertically positioned elongated plates located between the set of blenders and the set of homogenizers. The particular arrangement provides a system for eliminating, to a great extent, cords at the feeder.
