Glass manufacturing apparatus and methods of making a glass ribbon

Glass manufacturing apparatus comprise a forming device configured to deliver a stream of molten material along a first axis. The first roller is configured to direct the stream of molten material to flow off one side of the first roller and travel along a second axis that is within 20% of a radius...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Glass manufacturing apparatus comprise a forming device configured to deliver a stream of molten material along a first axis. The first roller is configured to direct the stream of molten material to flow off one side of the first roller and travel along a second axis that is within 20% of a radius of the first roller from the first axis. The first axis intersects a guide member positioned downstream from the first roller. The second axis does not intersect the guide member. Methods comprise contacting a first roller with a stream of molten material traveling along a first axis. Methods comprise directing the stream of molten material to flow off one side of the first roller and travel along a second axis. A distance between the first axis and the second axis is within 20% of the radius of the first roller.
