The
manufacture of glassware from feeders such as the Hartford type
requires the delivery of a gob with consistent shape and speed.
Inconsistent gobs can cause problems loading to the mould equipment
resulting in a variety of defects. In short, lost production.
The S700-PGM will measure gob length and velocity, and estimate
gob diameter based on user entered gob weight, providing peace of
mind that delivery from shear-point to mould load is optimised.
Measurements can be either displayed on-screen for immediate evaluation,
or saved to memory for later retrieval and manipulation.
Over 2000 gob measurements can be stored in memory at any time allowing
a full glass factory to be sampled prior to review. All data stored
in memory is time and date referenced at the time of measurement.
Regular use of the S700-PGM throughout the production facility enables
operators to pinpoint problems within the delivery set-up and take
remedial action, ensuring optimal delivery efficiency reducing lost
production and improving profitability.
The benefits of this portable system are recognised throughout the
world by customers such as Rockware Glass, BSN Glasspack and Emhart
Glass.
