FUNCTIONS OF A MOULD DESIGN DEPARTMENT + Design mould equipment and keep drawings current. + Establish mould design limits to suit the machines if they have been altered from Emhart’s standards. + Keep complete records of what variable machine equipment is available. + Design and maintain up-to-date forms to keep drawing time at @ minimum. + Work with the necessary departments to establish parison and mould design standards. This is extremely important as operating procedures vary from one customer to another and, in some instances, from one plant to another within the same company. The Chief Mould design engineer must establish standards to suit the company for which he is working + Mould equipment procurement. + Assist Sales, Production and Quality. Customer contacts, visits, and in the selection of variable machine equipment, + Maintain readily available filing and reference systems for smooth flow of design work. + Follow all sampling and first production runs. Incorporate any changes, if any, to drawings as soon as possible. + Have a constant review and update of any mould changes. EMIAR MOULD ENGNVEERING TRANING WANAL3. BOTTLE FORMATION BY THE BLOW AND BLOW PROCESS Delivery + The gob should be guided through the funnel into the blank mould with the minimum rubbing and with approximately 0.8mm (1/32") clearance on the diameter. This will give accurate loading with a minimum marking of the gob and yet give sufficient vent to the blank mould to keep the undesirable formation of an air pocket to a minimum, which would prevent solid loading. With good loading the gob settles uniformly and almost entirely into the shape of the finish before settle blow air is applied. To ensure good loading, the clearance between the plunger and thimble or plunger and finish guide plate should be as specified in the I.S Machine Mould Data Book. Equipment must be kept clean to prevent dirt from building up in the vents. ‘C))3. BOTTLE FORMATION BY THE BLOW AND BLOW PROCESS Transfer from Blank mould to Blow mould + During the time the parison is transferred from the blank to the blow mould, the parison is reheating. The speed of invert affects the distribution of the finished bottle, if it is too slow, the parison will sag backward due to gravity; if too fast, the parison is thrown forward by centrifugal force. The speed must be varied to suit the weight, viscosity and shape of parison. ‘eit WOULD ENGINEER TRAWING MANUAL, Pa TAT ARES 3. BOTTLE FORMATION BY THE BLOW AND BLOW PROCESS Reheat + This is the period of time between the end of the parison transfer and the start of the final blow. During this time, the parison continues its reheat or temperature equalization, and gravity stretches the parison. Excessive reheating on the blank mould side allows the parison to sag and on the blow side to run, and the two effects have to be counterbalanced. Stretching and cooling of the parison can be helped by the use of overhead cooling over the blow mould. ‘veIART MOULO ENGINEERING TRANG MAMA3. BOTTLE FORMATION BY THE BLOW AND BLOW PROCESS Cooling Wind + Cooling wind should not be applied on a start-up until cold appearance or general waviness of the finished bottle has disappeared but before the bottle begins to lose its shape. Hot mould practice will give the best results with average glass. As small wind nozzles as possible should be used. High wind velocities create more efficient cooling than large volume. Dead Plate Cooling + The purpose of the dead plate cooling is to assist the bottle in holding its shape. The dead plate is perforated with holes and slots so that the cooling wind is directed against the bottom and sides of the bottle. Circulation of air around the bottle over the dead plate is more effective when the bottle is hanging over the dead plate. The bottom may sag or be pushed up by the dead plate wind depending upon the pressure of air, the softness of the bottom and the time it is hanging. Therefore, the time of release over dead plate is important, particularly because of its effect on capacity. [EIVRT OUD ENONEEAING TRANG MAACQ) 4.

During this time the parison continues to reheat, or temperature equalization, and gravity stretches the parison while held in the blow mould. + Excessive reheating on the blank side allows the parison to sag and on he blow mould side to run, and the two effects have to be counterbalanced. Overhead cooling can also be applied over the blow moulds to stretch and cool the parison. 4. BOTTLE FORMATION BY THE PRESS AND BLOW PROCESS Final Blow and Vacuum Forming + Vacuum is applied to the blow mould cavity to form the finished jar. The final blow air is also used to help form the shape of the jar, but also by circulating the air through the internal cooling blowhead arm when the blowhead is on top of the mould, the internal temperature of the jar is reduced. In general terms, the vacuum and final blow time should be the maximum to form the jar before it is removed from the blow mould.5. MOLD DESIGN LIMITS AND RESTRICTIONS yi Mold Design Limits and Restrictions: WHY? That section is to be applied for all machine types, as the philosophy of the mechanisms" linitations i” identical for all machine types: what is different between the machines Is only the real values for all reference dimensions. “The mold design limits and all corresponding ware ranges restrictions are derived from the machine limitations: limits given by the section layout itself (ex: center distance...) limits given by the section frame mechanisms (ex: batfle mechanism..), especially the different motions. These limits assume the use of standard mold equipment dimensions: standard neck ring height (48mm in B&B land 67mm in NNP&B / P&B), standard baffie and blow head heights (57mm) and standard bottom plate flange (2omm), That's why these limitations should be considered as references and suggestions only, as it s still possible to change these specific mold equipment dimensions in order to influence the mold design limits anc the Corresponding ware ranges accordingly. That way, we are able to produce containers beyond the defined mold design limits (below Min. HuF, above Max. HuF) ‘HART MOULD ENOWEETING TRAINING MANUAL 46va TTA Aes 5.
