ZIPPE has extensive experience in planning, constructing and building batch chargers.
    These, virtually, belong to the DNA of the company.

    1953, Alfred Zippe senior developed the first fully automatic batch charger for the
    glass industry. Herewith, it all began and we are still building our batch chargers in
    our company in Wertheim. Our long-time experience and our high manufacturing
    quality is retrieved in many details of our machines.

01 SEALED DOGHO U S E

The heat protection shield is executable in a round and straight
design and seals the doghouse completely. Therefore, the heat
protection shield adapts perfectly to the furnace conditions.
The two pushers in front of the vibrating tubes as well as their
movements are executed in a way that there is no opening in
the outlet area. Thus, in fact a dust free encapsulation of the
doghouse is effected. As an uncontrolled inflow of air is elimi-
nated, a significant reduction of NOx emission is the result.

                                                                     02 VIBRATING TUBES

                                                                     The batch is transported to the melting furnace through
                                                                     vibrating tubes. Compared with alternative solutions, e.g. screw

                                                                     the front part of the vibrating tubes being situated in the melting

03 LINEAR DRIVE

The two pushers divide the batch conveyed into the melting
furnace into small portions. This leads to optimal batch melting
due to the larger heat contact surface of the batch. The push-
ers are driven by a servo gear motor which is infinitely variable.
Thereby, stroke length and lifting speed can be individually
adjusted to the desired requirements.

DESIG N

The batch charger consist of a feeding hopper with heat
protection shield, water-cooled pusher, swivel device and
supporting part.

FUNCT ION

From an intermediate hopper batch flows into the doghouse
which is pushed into the glass melting furnace by means of a
pusher which is driven by a frequency control gear motor.

BATCH CHARGER FOR

The use of several machines in one doghouse allows the
stream of glass batch to be directed individually both in terms
of direction and volume, thus making optimum charging of the
furnace surface possible.

ZIPPE flat glass chargers can be configured for all doghouse
