METHOD AND DEVICE FOR HOMOGENIZING GLASS MELT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a device for setting a desired degree of homogenization of a glass melt without affecting pressure drop and/or total throughput in the system in which especially low load and reduction in wear of the component of the device or low shearing deformation velocity of bubbles can be performed by simple and exact regulation of the device. SOLUTION: The method for homogenizing a glass melt uses at least one stirring means which includes two or more stirring blades 20, 21 which are arranged respectively at a stirring vessel 2 having an inlet 4 and an outlet 5, and are separately arranged mutually along a common stirring shaft 10, and is configured in such a way that a net conveying effect of the stirring means overall from the inlet 4 to the outlet 5 is substantially imperceptible.
