ABSTRACT:
A blanket charger for feeding raw batch material into a glass making furnace, particularly an end fired, sidewall fed type furnace. The charger has a main support frame with a raw batch hopper chute thereon and a reciprocable charger plate positioned under the hopper chute for receiving raw batch material therefrom. The charger plate is reciprocally moved by a fluid driven cylinder and piston device motivated by a fluid, preferably a nonflammable, water-glycol solution or by air. The travel distance of the charger plate in the forward and rearward strokes is selectively controlled by a pair of adjustable striker rod assemblies positioned on the charger plate which alternately contact a pair of frame mounted limit switches. Stroke speed of the cylinder may be varied by selective adjustment of appropriate control devices. An adjustable batch gate assembly is also provided to control the height of the raw batch deposited on the charger plate and permit direct readout of the height measurement at the rear face of the charger.
