A method for separating a glass element from a glass strand, the method comprising:
- separating, at a separating location of a production site, the glass element from the glass strand, wherein separating the glass element from the glass strand comprises causing at least one specific portion of the glass strand to vibrate, wherein vibrations are transmitted to the glass strand by at least one glass strand support, in the form of at least one roller or at least one prism, which carries the glass strand at least in areas.
A method for separating a glass element from a glass strand, the method comprising:
- separating, at a separating location of a production site, the glass element from the glass strand;
- and
- causing at least one specific portion of the glass strand to vibrate at least intermittently during separating the glass element from the glass strand and/or throughout during separating the glass element from the glass strand.
A glass element, comprising:
- a hollow body portion comprising:
- a first end section comprising a first end of the glass element;
- a second end section comprising a second end of the glass element arranged opposite the first end;
- and
- a middle section arranged between the first end section and the second end section, each of the sections having an inner surface;
- wherein there are at least two particles deposited on the inner surface of a specific end section which particles can be identified, wherein the specific end section is the first end section or the second end section,
- wherein each particle of the identified particles deposited on the inner surface of the specific end section can be or is classified for the purpose of a first classification by its size in one of a plurality of classes, wherein the plurality of classes comprises two or more first classes which together entirely cover a first range of particle size of between 40 μm inclusive and a defined or definable upper boundary value exclusive, wherein each particle of the identified particles having a size falling within the first range of particle size can be or is classified in the respective first class whose range of particle size covers the respective size of the respective particle, where a mean value of the particle size of the particles which can be or are classified in the plurality of first classes is smaller than a center value of the first range of particle size.
