Where Installed World-Wide
Drain feeders are produced to suit specific customer
requirements based on the 50 and 900 Series
feeders with a Stand alone revolving tube assembly
Additional features have also been specifically
designed for customers, for example
an emergency pneumatic plunger
glass shut-off with shock absorber protection of the orifice ring
was added as a special requirement.

or forehearth pull rate when production requirements change
in order to maintain stable temperatures.
