    摘要: An orifice ring for use in a glass feeder that produces one or more molten glass runners may include a main body having a first side and an opposed second side and further defining one or more discharge orifices. The first side of the main body has a glass-contacting surface surrounding the one or more discharge orifices, and at least a portion of the glass-contacting surface of the first side of the main body is provided by a MAX phase material such that at least a portion of a circumference of at least one of the one or more discharge orifices is established by the MAX phase material. A glass feeder that includes such an orifice ring is also disclosed.

    摘要: A change system for changing an orifice plate that is registered with an orifice ring is provided. The orifice plate change system includes a guide arrangement, a plurality of orifice plates, and an actuator. The guide arrangement has a charging plate region and an operating plate region. Each orifice plate is configured to be slidably carried by the guide arrangement between the charging plate region and the operating plate region in which the orifice thereof is registered with the orifice ring orifice. A first orifice plate has a first orifice and a second orifice plate has a second orifice that is different than the first orifice such that a stream of molten glass that passes through the second is different than a stream of molten glass passing through the first orifice. The actuator translates the orifice plates from the charging plate region to the operating plate region.

    摘要: Provided is a sleeve for glass tube molding that, without reducing the mechanical strength of the sleeve shaft, can prevent foreign objects such as rust from generating off the sleeve shaft and can prevent foreign objects such as rust from adhering to molten glass. The sleeve for glass tube molding is equipped with a sleeve shaft having a through-hole, and is equipped with a pipe member comprising a material having superior rust resistance to the sleeve shaft. The pipe member is provided with a main body portion, and a tapered portion. The through-hole is provided with an insertion portion into which the main body portion is inserted, and a contact portion with a tapered shape whereat the outer peripheral surface of the tapered portion comes into contact with one end of the through-hole. A portion or all of the inner surface of the through-hole is covered by inserting the pipe member into the through-hole.
