A glass product manufacturing apparatus and a method of manufacturing glass products are disclosed. The glass product manufacturing apparatus includes a melting vessel, a support grating configured to support an outer wall of the melting vessel, a cooling module configured to cool the outer wall of the melting vessel, on the support grating, and a support frame detachably fastened to the support grating to limit a movement of the support grating. By using the glass product manufacturing apparatus and the method of manufacturing glass products, high energy efficiency is maintained even when operating, and a defect rate is reduced.

A corner block for a glass furnace tank. The corner block has an outer surface including: upper and lower surfaces delimiting the length of the corner block, right and left surfaces to be in contact with corresponding surfaces of adjacent blocks, a hot face to be in contact with the environment inside the tank, and a cold face, opposite the hot face. A main portion of the corner block extends, over more than 80% of the length of the corner block, between two limiting upper and lower transverse planes. The hot face is edge-free. An edge is a line along which the hot face has a break in slope greater than 25. The hot face has a profile that is convex in any transverse sectional plane in the main portion.

A facility for melting a composition of raw materials suitable for obtaining glass wool, rock wool, textile glass fibers and/or flat glass or hollow glassware, the facility including a melting chamber provided with at least one inlet, at least one outlet and at least one submerged burner proximal to the outlet. The facility includes a barrier arranged between the proximal burner and the outlet, which barrier is intended to limit the sloshing movement of the glass, in particular at the surface of the bath.

An electrode pushing assembly and method includes a frame assembly, a plurality of driving assemblies fixedly coupled to the frame assembly, and a push frame coupled to the plurality of driving assemblies and configured to exert a pushing force against the electrode. The plurality of driving assemblies are configured to move the push frame and are each independently removable from the frame assembly and the push frame.
