Anti-Deflection Bracket to Prevent Post Flex on Blank Side Hangers

摘要

Sometimes a small part can cause big problems in hollow glass production.The post on the blank-side hanger on an individual section(IS) machine can flex and shift over time,which can lead to misaligned plungers and container defects."The biggest thing hollow glass producers want to do is reduce cost per tonne,that's what they're driven toward every day,”says Doug Stanley,Pyrotek's Global Manager Glass Container Technology and Business Development."Reducing glass defects and machine downtime can help improve that.”When the blanks close and pressure is applied,deflection is caused.Pyrotek's taper lock anti-deflection bracket,which sits atop the hanger saddle,provides an added stability compared to other brackets on the market.It holds the post in place and limits its movement,which improves bracket life and helps prevent defects.It can increase the life of the post,reduce baffle tears,blank tears,and keep traditional bushed or non-bushed brackets from wearing.In addition,the bracket can lead to a lower press pressure setting on the hangers."The more press pressure on the glass,the more defects will result.The bracket helps keep everything in line with less friction,”Stanley says.
