ABSTRACT:
A process and apparatus are described for forming glass fibers which utilizes a rotating melter for the fiber glass batch materials and stators which house the fiber forming bushings. The stators are encompassed by the rotating melter, but not physically touching it. The glass melt flows directly from the melter to the bushings in the stators and temperatures at the bushings are controlled by raising or lowering the stator with respect to the melter, the bushings being devoid of any electrical energy input as is conventionally practiced.
