Summary of Results from Minimelter Run with Macrobatch 3 Baseline Feed Using Frit 320(U)

摘要

The results indicate that glass made with frit 320 melts at a rate approx. 20% faster than that using frit 200. This is in line with results from small scale testing. The run also showed that there were no operational problems associated with processing the frit 320. The glass produced has predicted properties within the acceptable range. A lower electrical resistance is verified by the power settings on the melter during both idle and feeding conditions.
