Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9950196A1] The invention is related to a method of melting rock material for the manufacture of mineral fiber. In the method, the crushed rock material and the amount of fuel, proportionated according to the quantity of the rock material, together with a possible introduction of additive ingredients, are introduced into a shaft furnace, and combustion air possibly complemented with auxiliary fuel is introduced into the bottom part of the furnace in order to create a melting zone. The melted rock material is discharged from the furnace bottom. According to the method, at least a portion of said additive ingredients is introduced along with a carrier medium directly into the melting zone or its immediate vicinity.
