CHARGING SYSTEM The batch is evenly spread on the vibrating chute with the help of the charging hopper. The end piece of the vibrating chute is made of heat resistant steel and is exchangeable in order to avoid downtime if repair work is required. The movement of the water-cooled paddle is carried out by a lever system connected to a frequency controlled gear motor or servo drive. The paddle pushes the batch evenly from the vibrating chutes into the glass melting end and creates batch piles.
BENEFITS Better sealing of the doghouse due to the elimination of the rotary motion NOx emission is reduced Furnace energy consumption decreases Easy charging inspection due to included inspection opening within the doghouse cover Fast paddle change within 20 minutes Suitable for preheated batch
