A bushing system may include a bushing that is configured to receive a molten material. The bushing may include a plate defining a first plurality of apertures through which the molten material flows. The plate may include a longitudinal axis, as well as a first side wall and a second side wall disposed on a side of the plate opposite the first side wall. The first side wall and the second side wall may extend at an upward angle from the plate. The plate may also include a plurality of ribs extending along at least a portion of the plate. The bushing system may also include a tip plate coupleable with the bushing. The tip plate may be configured to receive the molten material from the bushing and may define a second plurality of apertures through which the molten material flows to form fibers.

A system and a method of manufacturing continuous glass filament fiberglass media comprises melting glass within a temperature controlled melter. Molten glass exits through a bushing plate with orifices of varying row configurations and orientations. The resulting fiberglass filaments are received on a rotating drum and sprayed with resin and aqueous solution. The resulting fiberglass mat is placed onto a let-off table then sprayed with aqueous solution before further processing.

The present application provides a glass fiber nozzle structure, bushing and production device. The glass fiber nozzle structure includes a nozzle body and a hole provided on the nozzle body. The hole includes an upper hole portion and a lower hole portion communicated with the upper hole portion and located below the upper hole portion. The lower hole portion has an elongated cross-section. A projection of the lower hole portion is located within a projection of the upper hole portion in a projection on a plane perpendicular to an axis line of the lower hole portion. A length and a width of the lower hole portion have a ratio of 5:1 to 12:1. The glass fiber nozzle of the present application has a simple structure and a long service cycle, and an aspect ratio of flat glass fibers produced by the nozzle structure is maintained between 2.7 and 4.2, thereby effectively improving performance of the flat glass fibers.
