We know glass, we love glass As a global leader in hollow glass and flat glass processing technology, we have been helping to shape one of the most beautiful and useful materials in the world for over 60 years. Its unique qualities, combined with the passion for technology and innovation, guide us in seeking for newer and more effective solutions to improve and expand its use.

Hollow Glass Technology > Copyright © BOTTERO S.p.A. The Forming Engineering FE department praises over ten years on production support and facility supplier worldwide. The team is composed by engineers and production experts that cooperate each other to support customer in reaching the highest production efficiency. The reading will introduce to FE main activities and capabilities available for our customers.

Forming Engineering “The article is obtained by forming, The form is obtained by heat extraction...” IS machine for forming engineers is an heat exchange device. The cooling capability is the essence for forming and its performance and control are object of continuous improvement and studies. We simulate the full forming process (BB, PB, NNPB) in order to give to our partners the best parison, article and equipment design. What Market needs: Market trend Cooling capability is the full answer to the market needs What Market needs: Hollow Glass Technology > Copyright © BOTTERO S.p.A.

Forming Engineering “The E-MOC concept is the Bottero solution for cooling capability and market needs...” The cooling adjusting is performed by differentiating: • The number of rows between up and down; • The number of holes for each row; • The diameter of holes; • The circumferential distribution. E-MOC is the most advanced heat exchange device. The airflow enters in the molds from the side and the cooling rate can be repartitioned in the following points: E-MOC cooling system Upper blow mold Upper blank Conjugate heat transfer analysis: cooling specifications, mold temperature, thermal transfer...

Forming Engineering “Priority to efficiency and cost per Ton: Faster trial and sampling...” “We do not design molds, we design heat exchange cleverly...” The Forming Engineering services provided are: • Cooling design; • Parison and Mold Design; • Consultation and conversion from DG to TG; • Consultation and conversion from B&B to NNPB; • New container design; • Production and Mold Design training; • Production support.

Forming Engineering “We give possibility to glass to become an article...” As well as the parison study, the Blow cavity is modelled according to glass shrinkage. Engravings and Dot-code are placed according to inspection machine reading. Given input specifications, the Blow configurator generates the mold in real time. What ever is the cooling technology whatever available in your plant, the engineering service will supply the most efficient design. E-MOC 360° cooling Airflow balancing through cooling duct optimization.Result: cooling capacity balancing between cavities. Cavity study • Glass...

Forming Engineering “The invariability of variable equipment...” Engineers support customer in the definition of the variable equipment reducing the number of components, costs and job change time. Starting from refractories up to machine mountings, customer will be sure to get the best performances given a set of articles. The FE team will guide customers to increase article quality, production speed and reduce glass weight through the conversion from Blow&Blow process to Narrow Neck Press&Blow. FE team will guide customers to maximize the profit through conversion from double to triple gob....

Forming Engineering “Time to market approach...” Production support service Production support days in glass factory from 2013 to 2016 For an important investment the right guarantee. FE team evaluates with our customers the performance directly in glass factory. Just one mission, increase production efficiency. Technicians with experience more than 25 years on glass work will support customers for any production problem related. Quality report Bottle cut analysis after sampling. Production optimization. Quality control inspection graphs. Hollow Glass Technology > Copyright © BOTTERO S.p.A.

Forming Engineering “Customer training...” FE team and customers are partner. They organizes in-Bottero or in-glass factory trainings in order to improve technical skills related on: Article Design Blank cooling; Machine limits; Mold cooling; BB-PB-NNPB process; Neck ring cooling; Equipment design; Mold design book; NNPB parison design; Tailored solutions IS machine operator activities; Production improvement; Article design; Machine equipment setting; Cross conveyor Defects analysis; Specific customer requests.
