ABSTRACT:
The disclosure embraces a method of and apparatus for processing heat-softened mineral material, such as glass, wherein streams of glass flowing from orifices in depending projections of a stream feeder are conditioned for attenuation through the use of metal fin shields for conveying heat away from the streams of glass, the method and apparatus involving the utilization of a moving gas environment between rows of the depending projections at the floor of the stream feeder and above the fin shields to eliminate or minimize the accumulation of compounds of the glass volatiles on the fin shields and to reduce the tendency of the glass to flood the stream flow region of the feeder.
