Contemporary glass container manufacturing new technology

In recent years, although the demand for glass packaging containers in the international market has been on a downward trend, glass packaging containers are still the main packaging materials for beverages and pharmaceuticals. In order to adapt to the fierce competition in the international packaging market, some foreign glass packaging container manufacturers and scientific research departments have continuously introduced new equipment and adopted new technologies, which have made a lot of progress in the manufacture of glass packaging containers.

Normal > Japan's Toyo Glass Co., Ltd. and the Arts and Crafts Research Institute have jointly developed molds that can reduce the molding time of glass packaging containers by half. The mold was made of stainless steel and copper alloy materials, reducing the time required to form a glass container from 32 seconds to 16 seconds, which not only increased production but also reduced the number of necessary molds. The stainless steel and copper alloy materials used in this mold are manufactured by heating the stainless steel surface to 1000 °C, adjusting the flow and inflow rate of the controlled steel alloy, and maintaining the optimal ratio of the copper alloy and the stainless steel to form an alloy layer with a thickness of micrometers. Using this type of mold, although the price is 50 % higher than that of a normal mold , the economic benefits are significant.

Normal > A factory of the United Glass Company of the United Kingdom, using a three-drop bottle machine, used pressure-blow method to produce small-caliber beer bottles, which not only ensured the product quality, but also increased the production capacity by 50 %. The 250mm Brown Bidon light beer bottle produced by the company's three drop material bottler is in short supply in the international market.

normal> UK Gra - Pnoida Development Co. successfully developed bottle machine blank mold automatic injector system 8 mounted to feed group 4 drops of IS machine for manufacturing a medicine bottles and cosmetic bottles, machine speed of 410 per minute . The automatic fuel injection system can be controlled by various IS bottle maker software. If the software is not suitable or the bottle machine is driven by a drum, it can be operated by a micro-keyboard, video display device and a cartridge memory. The processor controls.

Normal >The United Kingdom has also developed an advanced and energy-saving glass feed channel - the BH-F400 series feed channel. This glass forehearth is an integrated top brick structure made of a special refractory material with a cooling channel in the middle. When cooling is required, cold air is fed along the feed center, thus overcoming the conventional design. Feeder heating systems and cooling systems are not efficient. The channel temperature control is sensitive and the operation is simple. At the same time, due to the use of an automatic temperature control system and a high-pressure mixture to adjust the proportional system, nearly 70 % of fuel can be saved .

Normal > Portuguese CIVE glass manufacturing company has used advanced electronic technology to transform the glass furnace and installed a regenerative horseshoe flame furnace with a daily output of 220 tons of glass and an 85 % increase in production capacity . The furnace adopts advanced electronic technology and operation theory, and its production energy consumption is low. The entire production process can maintain stable temperature. The company has greatly improved the output and quality of glass packaging containers by renovating glass furnaces.

Normal > U.S. BH - F Engineering Co., Ltd. developed a new drip image analyzer equipped with a camera system and a photodiode community loop display. When the heat conducted away from the gob feeder scanned, the resulting data is sent to the central processing unit, and generates a color image on a display screen gob, gob weight is calculated at the same time, the accuracy of <0.6 g disabilities. The instrument can effectively monitor the droplet shape, and with advanced droplet shape change alarm device, in order to quickly adjust the droplet weight and blanking center, as well as the height of the feeder barrel.

Normal > UK PLM - Red-fearn has installed a high-speed image inspection system on its glass bottle production line. The system can detect the roundness of the bottle and can measure 800 per minute
