ABSTRACT:
In the operation of a regenerative glass melting furnace to which glass batch materials are either continuously or intermittently fed as a layer onto the surface of molten glass in the furnace, a plow blade is periodically forced transversely across the width of the furnace at a location such that transverse grooves or depressions are plowed in the floating layer of glass batch materials. This provides for a floating layer of glass batch which is sufficiently contoured to efficiently receive heat from overhead heaters, such as flames from burners, in order to efficiently melt the batch making molten glass for forming.
