EGLASSTREK SYSTEMS: STIRRER CHAMBER PLATINUM BOTTOM DRAIN

From time to time it is necessary to control the quality of glass when melting LCD substrate glass. This test glass is then an indication of the homogeneity of the glass mass emerging from the mixing unit. For this purpose, a drain pipe directly heated by electrical current is placed on the floor in the stirrer chamber. The drain pipe consists of a temperature resistant precious metal (Platinum Group Metals) that conducts electricity and is fitted with electrical connections.

By conducting high current through the walls of the drain pipe its temperature can be regulated in most areas. Another EGLASSTREK development is to increase the wall thickness so as to reduce the heating in a certain area, or to adjust the pipe diameter while maintaining wall thickness.
