Modern systems for loading of glass mixture and cullet into regenerative glass-melting furnaces with horseshoe-shaped flame direction constructed on the basis of use of innovative batch feeders are reviewed. It was noted that use of such mechanisms and devices in these systems results not only in saving the energy resources, decreased concentration of dust fractions of glass mixture outside the furnace and reduction of emissions of nitrogen oxides into the surrounding atmosphere, but also increases the efficiency of the glass melting process as a whole. The adaptive algorithm for regulation of separate loading of glass mixture and glass cullet in a furnace oriented to the flame direction is presented
