Expertise: Cleaning & Polishing

The VR1 Evo's patented, non-destructive system achieves perfect polishing of the internal mould (and plungers) surface without abrading or damaging it.

Key benefits of VR1 Evo

  • Non-destructive polishing – Achieves flawless results.

ILS - Independent Lubrication System

The ILS independent lubrication system allows you to work with several lubrication lines, managing them separately and independently through the use of a single pump; in this way it is possible to lubricate only when you want it and with only the necessary quantity of oil.

Forming Process Training

This training course covers all aspects of the glass container forming (from gob in the blank to container on the machine conveyor). Knowing which container part is formed at what stage during the process (BB, NNPB & PB) helps to better adjust the process parameters in order to prevent forming defects.

Mould Design Review

Mould design review can save the glass bottle and jar producers a lot of time and money. By reviewing a mould design it is possible to discover why the equipment is not performing as expected.

Gob Forming Training

This APEGG training course is for production personnel who need to know how to prepare the “perfect” gob for glass container production (bottle & jar). During this course students learn the fundamentals of gob shaping and how a “bad” gob influences the quality.

Mould Inspection Training

Mould equipment inspection with gauges is very important to ensure a good glass container production. All must be inspected before, during and after a production run.

Parison Run Calculator

With this Parison Run Calculator the glass container mould equipment designer can quickly calculate the length of the parison for a wide mouth jar. The calculations are based on the actual glass jar capacity and weight.

DES - Defect Elimination System

DES, the world's first independent system to use smart algorithms for eliminating glass container forming defects. This system gives step-by-step instructions to the glass forming machine operator.

Gob / Orifice Calculator

This Gob / Orifice Calculator allows glass makers to determine the required refractory orifice ring size (diameter) based on the ideal glass gob for the production run.

Glass Container - Gob Forming Simulator

The world’s first Gob Forming Simulator that simulates the forming of a glass gob under real industrial conditions.
