A method and apparatus for manufacturing a glass article includes flowing a glass ribbon through a housing having first and second sidewalls. The glass ribbon has first and second opposing major surfaces extending in a length direction and a width direction. Ions are directed from the ionization source toward at least one of the first and second opposing major surfaces of the glass ribbon, and/or the electrode directs particles away from at least one of the first and second opposing major surfaces of the glass ribbon. This may reduce particle density on a major surface of a glass article formed from the glass ribbon. 一种用于制造玻璃制品的方法和装置，包括使玻璃带流过具有第一和第二侧壁的外壳。玻璃带具有沿长度方向和宽度方向延伸的第一和第二相对主表面。离子从电离源被引导朝向玻璃带的第一和第二相对主表面中的至少一者，和/或电极引导粒子远离玻璃带的第一和第二相对主表面中的至少一者。这可以降低由玻璃带形成的玻璃制品的主表面上的颗粒密度。
