    Study Notes

    Proper Gob Loading from Scoops to Troughs

    • Scoops must be stationary before the gob enters the scoop to ensure proper loading.
    • The gob should be centered in the scoop to facilitate smooth transfer.
    • The scoop should not move to the next section until the gob is fully transferred to the trough.
    • If the scoop moves before the gob transfers, check the alignment of the trough to prevent misalignment.
    • Proper gob loading process ensures consistent and efficient production flow.
    • Precision and controlled movement are crucial in maintaining optimal production flow.

    Trough Maintenance

    • Uneven wear on trough sides may indicate an alignment issue that needs to be addressed.

    Air Ride Troughs

    • Adjust air pressure regularly to ensure optimal performance.
    • Insufficient air pressure can cause drag, hang-ups, and late loads.
    • Excessive air pressure can lead to marks on the gob/parison and high impact in the deflector.

    Cleaning and Maintenance Schedules

    • Remove air ride troughs every 6 months for thorough cleaning and maintenance to prevent late loads caused by clogged holes.

    Cast Iron Troughs

    • Remove and recoat cast iron troughs regularly to maintain optimal performance.
