The factors affecting the maintenance of stable batch quality when batch is loaded into glass furnaces after being transported from a sectional shop over a long distance are analysed. The deficiencies arising during batch preparation and transport to a glass furnace are analysed. A new method of loading batch into a glass furnace is proposed on the basis of the analysis: this method makes it possible to support optimal moisture content and uniformity of batch prior to loading into the furnace. The new method of loading batch has been tested in a glass furnace at "Salavasteklo" JSC.
