description A method of controlling a flowrate of molten material at a downstream location in a glass manufacturing process can include mixing the molten material at an upstream location positioned upstream from the downstream location relative to a flow direction of the molten material with a shaft including a plurality of protrusions. The method can also include measuring a torque of the shaft, measuring a level of the molten material at the upstream location, and calculating a viscosity of the molten material at the upstream location based on the measured torque and the measured level. In addition, the method can include estimating the flowrate based on the calculated viscosity, and controlling the flowrate at the downstream location based on the estimated flowrate.
