ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for feeding glass batch materials into a pool of molten glass within a furnace comprises a base disposed at a batch-feeding end of the furnace above the pool of molten glass. A hopper for dispensing glass batch materials is mounted on the base and includes an outlet disposed above the molten glass. A plunger assembly is mounted on the base and includes a reciprocable plunger and an actuator for reciprocating the plunger in a linear direction past the hopper outlet into and from the pool of molten glass at the location where batch materials are deposited thereon. The plunger includes a pusher face for pushing dispensed batch materials beneath the surface of the pool of molten glass. A barrier is disposed on a side of the hopper outlet opposite the plunger. The barrier extends into the pool of molten material to the lowermost extent of the pusher face so that batch materials submerged by the plunger travel beneath the barrier and are isolated from the batch depositing location.
