Good Maintenance Improves Mould Life

High quality moulds are essential if manufacturers need to produce batches of glass containers. However, simply investing in the best equipment is not enough. It is also important to maintain it. This can help to keep the standards high and improve the life of the moulds. Our blank mould gauges, reamers, and other tools can help clients to get their maintenance right. MOULD WEAR Mould equipment is generally made of durable materials like cast iron. The idea is that the metal will be strong enough to handle the operating conditions, allowing repeat use. This is the goal for all manufacturers as it will allow them to produce containers with a smaller cost. While cast iron is a strong, durable metal, it will suffer from wear in time. When it does it can have a big impact on the quality of the containers. It can also make the whole production process less efficient. Therefore, you need to plan for it. Being proactive with maintenance is the best way to offset mould wear. It can help to keep each part of the mould in a good condition, prolonging its life in the process. This also helps to retain the productivity. KEEP IT IN-HOUSE Some manufacturers are lapse with their mould maintenance because it can be time consuming to shut down operations and send moulds away. However, this is not the only option they have. In fact, with the right equipment and a little experience they could keep everything in-house. This is an efficient option in terms of the amount of time it takes. Plus, it can be far more cost effective.
