Apparatuses in the manufacture of mineral wool

Abstract From the Canadian patent

The disclosure relates to an apparatus for preventing the solidification and accumulation of material from the tapping jet in and on the tapping spout in the manufacture of mineral wool. At the discharge section of the tapping spout to the spinning machine there is disposed at least one so-called oxy-fuel burner. The burner is, in this arrangment disposed at such a, distance and directed such that the discharge section of the tapping spout and the first portion of the tapping jet departing from the spout are heated by the burner flame and the impulse of the burner flame is of such a size that the configuration and position of the jet will remain unaffected.
