Abstract: A device for loading a machine for the treatment, notably thermal-mechanical, of elongated cylindrical objects, notably of glass, such as glass pipes, the machine including a carrousel comprising a plurality of stations for the treatment provided by the machine, includes a loading barrel which surmounts the machine, coaxially thereof, and is rotated during loading of the machine, at the same speed as the machine. The barrel can be uncoupled from the machine in order to be resupplied with objects such as glass pipes.
Abstract: A burner for a machine for the thermomechanical treatment of glass tubes is oriented obliquely with respect to a path of movement followed by the glass tubes in the machine. The burner is connected to a fuel delivery pipe and is provided with nozzles arranged in tiers in the desired direction.
