scraper basin Explanation: Maybe? 'Kratzerbecken' seems like a name given only in the specific context, going by the fact that the term comes up as a "s.g. Kratzerbecken" in the reference I've posted separately. In the reference below, one of the functions of a 'scraper conveyor' is to cool hot glass. By analogy, a 'scraper basin' may be "kind of cooling basin used for glass processing" (as described by the asker) ? Scraper conveyor Glass gobs and hot glass articles pass down chutes into a scraper conveyor, through which cooling water flows. The scraper conveyor has four principal functions. Firstly, it must cool the hot glass to a temperature suitable for further treatment. Secondly, it must effectively transport hot glass and drain cooled cullet. Finally, it must also reduce glass gob size. http://shortify.com/10433 |

Reference: Kratzerbecken Reference information: Wasseraufbereitung in der Glasindustrie Bei Werkzeugwechseln oder Störungen wird die Glasproduktion in die s.g. Kratzerbecken eingelassen. Durch die schlagartige Abkühlung zerplatzen die Glastropfen. Die größeren Glassplitter werden durch den Kratzer ausgetragen. Die feineren Glaspartikel verbleiben als Trübstoffe im Wasser. Von den Werkzeugen werden teilweise auch Öle und Fette in das Kühlwasser eingetragen. http://www.leiblein.de/de/branchenloesungen/glas-keramik-nat... |
