Abstract

The novel inductor is used in a glass fiber manufacturing equipment comprising a centrifuge heated by a main gas heating device and a complementary induction heating device. The efficiency of the inductor is increased by a magnetic flow guiding element disposed between the inductor and the main heating device. The invention is particularly adapted to be used in the manufacture of glass wool.
