Nozzles

Glass, rock and ceramic wool are used for many insulation applications.  The melting process of the raw materials for wool and fibre production is often done by electrical heating with glass melting electrodes.

Specially designed plate and block electrodes are generally used with water cooled electrode holders.  In the field of glass, rock and ceramic wool, the liquid melt runs in many cases through nozzles made of Mo or W.

Our product range for the production of glass, rock and ceramic wool is not limited to glass melting electrodes and outflow nozzles but also includes other products such as nozzle holders, flow needles and estension tubes.
