Abstract:
Systems and methods for controlling the flow of vitrified material. In at least some embodiments, a vitrified material control system comprises a melt chamber ( 8 ) configured to contain a molten material ( 27 ) during operation of the control system; a siphon valve ( 11 ) configured to facilitate a flow of the molten material from the melt chamber; and a vacuum-generation system ( 26, 15, 16 ) configured to controllably deliver a vacuum to the molten material in the melt chamber and to thereby regulate a flow of the molten material from the melt chamber. In other embodiments, methods of controlling a flow of molten vitrified material from a heating device are disclosed. The methods may include, for example, applying a vacuum to the molten material to control a dwell time of the molten material in a vessel of the heating device and regulating the vacuum based on a measured temperature of the molten material.

Claim (Index 35):
The method of  claim 31 , wherein the producing step further comprises feeding raw material into the vessel.
