METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING GLASS STRIPS

Abstract

The design refers to the glassmaking equipment, including a distribution device that defines the flow path along the first direction of movement. The distribution device transports the molten glass along the flow path. The glassmaking equipment includes a first forming shaft and a second forming shaft positioned at a distance from each other to define the gap they provide for the glass strip, specifying its width and thickness. One or more of the first or second forming shafts include structural characteristics that they transmit to the glass strip. The glassmaking equipment includes a mold that defines the mold cavity. The mold is positioned to receive a portion of the glass strip to transmit its shape to the glassmaking equipment, which includes a conveyor belt that moves the mold in the second direction of movement, inclined relative to the first direction of movement. The method for producing glass strips is also mentioned.
