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.
