ABSTRACT:
A continuously flowing glass stream is conditioned and homogenized along a conditioning stretch, which extends from an entry side to at least one extraction point, and at the beginning of which there is a cooling zone, to which a homogenizing zone for the glass temperature is connected. This method is preferentially used for the manufacture of molded glass articles, such as containers and pressed articles. In order to achieve the necessary conditioning and homogenization, even at high throughputs, the glass stream in the cooling zone has a cross section with a depth/width ratio D/W of a maximum 0.6 or 0.5, or 0.4, or 0.3, or 0.2, whereby the maximum depth Dmax amounts to
