摘要

Process for the automatic feeding of a heated tank containing liquid glass mass, with nozzles for drawing heat-softenable mineral fiber yarns, especially glass, by means of glass portions prepared on inclined planes, in the form of balls, parallelepipeds or cubes, characterized in that the portions, in separate adjacent rows, are supplied to individual pre-melting enclosures separated in direct communication, but narrowed in cross-section with the reservoir, which in each case receive only a portion, which by the heat of radiation of the contents of the tank are heated, softened in the subsequent descent and then, by direct heating of a heated part of the tank, melt in such a way that they form a uniform mass of glass but with a higher viscosity with respect to the contents of the tank. to the glass mass located above the nozzles.
