Abstract
A method of providing glass from a glass melting furnace (12) to at least one mold (24, 124, 224, 324, 424, 524, 624, 724), including providing an uninterrupted glass communication path (26, 226, 326) from an outlet (19, 219) of the glass melting furnace (12) to the at least one mold (24, 124, 224, 324, 424, 524, 624, 724), and pressurizing the path (26, 226, 326) at a location downstream of the outlet (19, 219) to move molten glass (30, 230, 330) into the at least one mold (24, 124, 224, 324, 424, 524, 624, 724). A related system, apparatus, and molding equipment are also disclosed.
