ABSTRACT:
A system for converting fly ash into mineral wool including an airtight chamber enclosing a molten stream from a spinner and providing an adjustable access to a bin for receiving shot and including an airflow device for drawing air from the bin, through the adjustable access, past the spinner, and into an accumulator, with the adjustable access being operable to selectively limit the rate of flow of the air to thereby control the average weight of fibrous strands entering the accumulator is also disclosed. The quality of accumulated strands is also controlled through a system including a spinner for converting a molten stream into an output of fibrous strands and shot, a cyclone, and a collector with conduit means delivering fibrous strands from the spinner to cyclone and from a light fiber vortex exit or the cyclone to the collector. Preferably, the cyclone includes a variably positionable vortex exit tube. Methods are taught using the above-identified apparatus to generate a high quality mineral wool.
