Method and apparatus for producing glass

A process for the production of glass, in particular display glass, wherein a highly viscous molten glass from a melting / refining unit on a first link member (100, 400) of a stirring vessel (138, 200, 404, 504, 514) and an agitator (202, 204 , 302, 304, 408, 410, 508, 510) having stirring means (110, supplied 406), there homogenized and (from the stirring device 110, 406) via a second connecting element (120, 420) of a shaping device is supplied, characterized in that that is in contact with the molten glass wall and floor material of the first connecting element (100, 400) and the mixing vessel (138, 200, 404, 504, 514) and the second connecting element (120, 420) made of a refractory having more than 85 is formed wt .-% ZrO ie the entire device is conveyed with a cross-flow, which is greater than the throughput flow, and due to the higher cross-flow in the inner portion in an outer region of the agitating means (110, 406) transversely forming a peripheral backflow to the direction of throughput flow (206) which inhibits a transverse flow past the stream of glass at the stirring means (110, 406).
