Device for Production of Glass Fibers

Device for Production of Glass Fibers

Laboratory puller LFD 10 is designed to produce test glass fibers, which are used in further devices e.g. for measuring the viscosity properties of glass. It is capable of producing glass fibers with circular cross-section and diameter from 0,5 to 1,5 mm.

The device is composed of three main parts:

  • MF Generator for induction furnace
  • Induction furnace with crucible with volume of 200 cm3
  • Pulling device with accessories

Usually, a crucible from PtRh10 alloy is used. In case of lower requirements, it is possible to use a crucible made from steady heat steel.
