摘要:
The present inventions relate to the means of production of high-silicate inorganic fibers of natural acidic rock minerals and also to products manufactured of said fibers, namely: continuous, staple fibers and scaly particles. In each variant of the M dacite or rhyodacite, granite or rhyolite, or a rock comprising mostly sand with silicon oxide content equal or exceeding 73% are used as a rock. The present inventions aim at proposing the means for producing inorganic fibers of natural acidic rock minerals and also the products manufactured of said fibers, namely: continuous, staple and coarse fibers and fine scaly particles having increased strength, corrosion and temperature resistance. This objective is attained by creating conditions for removing foreign inclusions, having high melting and boiling temperatures, from the melt by way of using rocks with higher silicon oxide (SiO2) content and, therefore, higher melting points, as raw materials. This enables removal of most of foreign inclusions from the melted rock to the atmosphere.

摘要:
Glass tablets which are to be introduced seriatim into an elongated melting chamber of a crucible having orifices for extrusion of glass filaments are stored in a magazine and are fed onto the first section of a first vibrating trough whose sections have different inclinations. The last section of the first trough discharges tablets into the receptacle of a weighing device which accumulates a predetermined number of tablets and thereupon discharges the accumulated batch of tablets onto the first section of a second vibrating trough the last section of which discharges tablets into an elongated hopper registering with the open top of the melting chamber. At least the last section of the second trough is inclined downwardly toward the hopper to such an extent that tablets leaving the preceding section of the second trough are accelerated during travel in the last section and enter the hopper at timely spaced intervals. The second trough is caused to swivel back and forth so that its last section discharges tablets into different portions of the hopper.
