Submerged entry nozzles are innovative devices used in glass melting and pouring processes. These nozzles allow glass to be poured from a furnace into molds with minimal turbulence and optimal flow characteristics. Their design includes a submerged entrance, which helps in managing the glass flow rate, reducing the risk of defects and ensuring a uniform temperature throughout the pouring process.
These nozzles are utilized in various stages of glass production, particularly during the melting and transfer phases. Their primary applications include:
The adoption of submerged entry nozzles presents several advantages for glass manufacturers:
Submerged entry nozzles adhere to stringent industry standards such as ASTM and ISO, which ensure their reliability and efficiency. When integrated into glass furnaces, these nozzles can significantly contribute to achieving operational excellence.
While the initial investment in submerged entry nozzles may be substantial, their long-term benefits typically outweigh the costs. Manufacturers often experience significant savings on raw materials and labor due to reduced defect rates and improved process flow.
