Training Services
Forming Defects Training
This APEGG training course is for production personnel who need to know how to identify and rectify forming defects in glass container manufacturing (bottle & jar). During this course, students learn the fundamentals about defect cause & prevention, covering the NNPB, BB and PB process.
Light Weighting
APEGG assists glass manufacturers to light weight containers, no matter the forming process and container type (jar or bottle). Starting with the container design, followed by mould design right through to the process parameters (forehearth and forming machine set-up).
Mould Design
In glass container manufacture, mould design is an essential part, without it there will be no moulds to produce bottles & jars on the forming machines. Four factors must be considered: Parison Layout, Mould Gear, and Top Tool design, all of these must be correct to achieve high efficiency.
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 can be discovered why the equipment is not performing as expected.
Applications
Glass Container - Forming Defects App
The Glass Container Forming Defects App (GCFDA) is a digital glass defects manual that provides information about common glass defects, including glass defects pictures, standard names, and cause & remedies.
DES - Defect Elimination System
DES, the world's first independent system to use smart algorithms for eliminating glass container forming defects. This system gives clear step-by-step instructions to the glass forming machine operator, memorizes actions taken, analyses decisions made, and distributes them to all production lines.
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, based on actual glass jar capacity and weight.
Glass Container - Forming Process Animation
Glass Container Forming Process Animation is the world’s first 3D interactive animation that shows how a glass gob is transformed into a bottle or jar.
