Glass container forming systems: O-I Glass PackagingRecent Research Landscape

Precise thermal control during molten gob delivery and mold contact determines final wall thickness uniformity and structural integrity.

What technical problems is O-I Glass Packaging addressing in Glass container forming systems?

Internal surface geometry defects

(15)evidences

Inconsistent glass distribution during parison formation leads to structural weaknesses or illegible embossed features on the container surface.

Gob thermal shape distortion

(16)evidences

Conventional mechanical handling and unshielded transport paths cause uneven cooling and physical deformation of molten glass gobs before they reach the forming mold.

Blank mold temperature fluctuations

(28)evidences

Imprecise temperature control and uneven cooling during the molding process lead to structural defects and non-uniform wall thicknesses in finished containers.
