Abstract:
A device for flowing molten glass suitable for installation on a glass melting furnace, including: a flow channel including an outlet of given diameter; and a device for regulating flow of molten glass at an outlet of the flow channel, including: a removable plate including a through-orifice with an area smaller than an area of the outlet of the flow channel; and a movable shuttering mechanism configured to adjustably shutter the outlet of the flow channel or the through-orifice of the removable plate. The device allows a single furnace to be used for various types of glasses having very different viscosities.
