Stirrers are used to homogenize the glass melts. These must withstand extremely high temperatures and aggressive glass melts. Molybdenum from Plansee is the right material for these challenging conditions.
Melting point of 2 620 °C (4 748 °F)
Outstanding creep resistance
High dimensional stability
Excellent corrosion resistance
Good electrical and thermal conductivity
Outstanding purity
Fully platinum-plated stirrers.
With its excellent creep resistance and stability at high temperatures, molybdenum ensures the necessary mechanical stability, while the soft platinum cladding guarantees optimum resistance to corrosion.
Partially platinum-plated stirrers.
Molybdenum provides excellent resistance to corrosion. During the homogenization of borosilicate glass and opal glass melts, molybdenum is exposed directly to the glass melt without any problem. Our partially platinum-plated stirrers are used for this task. Only the stirrer shaft outside of the glass melt is protected against oxidation by means of a platinum cladding.
Plansee supplies:
Homogenisation stirrers
Helical stirrers
Gobbing stirrers (portioning stirrers)
Plungers (flow needles)
Spiral plungers
Stirrers manufactured to customer specifications
Semi-finished products for stirrer production
Ceramic diffusion barrier coatings
Platinum-clad stirrers manufactured in collaboration with our partners in the platinum industry
Why not ceramic? The advantages of metallic stirrers.
Optimized homogenization due to unlimited design possibilities
More effective stirring through small shafts and large blade diameters
Higher mechanical strength
Improved thermal shock resistance
No contamination of the glass melt
Substantially longer service life
