  • Methods And Systems Requiring Lubrication
    Publication number: 20170233284
    Abstract: Methods and systems in which a molten glass gob, which is processed according to the method or in the system, has a lubricant applied thereto. As it is processed in the system, the molten glass gob mass having the lubricant applied thereto is used to transfer lubricant to a part or parts of the system.

  • System and method to coat glass gobs with a lubricating dispersion during the drop to blank molds
    Patent number: 9212083
    Abstract: A system and method for coating glass gobs with a liquid-based lubricating dispersion during their drop to blank glass container molds which provides sufficient lubrication to the glass container molds without requiring swabbing of the glass container molds. The lubricating dispersion is sprayed onto hot glass gobs as they fall from the gob supply system prior to their distribution by the gob distribution system into blank molds. The lubricating dispersion coats the falling glass gobs to lubricate the glass gobs as well as the molds.

  • Optimized Scoop for Improved Gob Shape
    Publication number: 20110197635
    Abstract: An optimized scoop for receiving the glass gobs formed by the shearing mechanism is disclosed which provides an optimal trajectory that enables glass gobs passing therethrough to have an improved glass gob shape together with a negligible increase in glass gob length, with a velocity that is equal to or better than that of previously known scoops. The optimized scoop enhances glass gob shape to produce a more uniformly cylindrical glass gobs and eliminate dog-bone configurations. Trajectory of the optimized scoop is optimized both to enhance exit velocity of the glass gobs and minimize forces applied to the glass gobs.
