Abstract: A glass manufacturing apparatus including a forming apparatus, the forming apparatus including an edge separation assembly. The edge separation assembly includes a scoring device with a scoring tool coupled thereto, a backing roller, a pair of stabilizing rollers configured to pinch a central portion of the glass ribbon therebetween, and a separation roller configured to apply a separation force against an edge portion of the glass ribbon to separate the edge portion from the central portion. The edge separation apparatus may further include a first plurality of guide rollers arranged to direct the separated edge portion away from the central portion and a second plurality of guide rollers configured to guide the central portion. The forming apparatus further includes a cross-cut assembly configured to separate a glass sheet from the central portion.

Abstract: A glass manufacturing apparatus includes a first nozzle including a first orifice facing a travel path. The glass manufacturing apparatus includes a gas source in fluid communication with the first nozzle, with the gas source directing a gas flow to the first nozzle. The glass manufacturing apparatus includes a controller coupled to one or more of the gas source or the first nozzle to vary the gas flow from the gas source the first nozzle such that the first nozzle is discharges a series of gas bursts through the first orifice toward the travel path at a frequency within a range from about 10 Hz to about 45 Hz. A second nozzle is spaced apart from the first nozzle. The second nozzle includes a second orifice facing the travel path. The second nozzle discharges a continuous gas flow through the second orifice toward the travel path.
