GLASS MANUFACTURING APPARATUS AND GLASS MANUFACTURING METHOD

To provide a technology capable of reducing the number of foreign matters adhering to glass and suppressing the vibration of a conveyance roll.SOLUTION: A glass manufacturing apparatus includes: a conveyance roll for conveying glass; a first removal member contacting the conveyance roll and removing foreign matters adhering to the conveyance roll; an energization member for energizing the first removal member toward the conveyance roll; and a second removal member provided in the first removal member and contacting the conveyance roll at a position different from that of the first removal member to remove the foreign matters adhering to the conveyance roll. The second removal member includes a material more elastic than the first removal member.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】ガラスに付着する異物の数を低減すると共に、搬送ロールの振動を抑制する、技術を提供する。【解決手段】ガラス製造装置は、ガラスを搬送する搬送ロールと、前記搬送ロールに接触して、前記搬送ロールに付着する異物を除去する第１除去部材と、前記第１除去部材を前記搬送ロールに向けて付勢する付勢部材と、前記第１除去部材に設けられ、前記第１除去部材とは異なる位置で前記搬送ロールに接触して、前記搬送ロールに付着する異物を除去する第２除去部材と、を備える。前記第２除去部材は、前記第１除去部材よりも軟質な材質を有する。【選択図】図２
