Introducing D A Oldfield's Advanced Loading Systems (ALS)
The DAO Advanced Loading System has been designed and built to improve gob loading, aiding your production. With over 150 Advanced Loading Systems sold over the world on all sizes of new and used IS machines, can you afford not to do the same?
Loading problems the ALS helps to correct:
☼ Gob drift - gobs are thrown off centre by shearing. This results in loading marks and slower movement through the troughs and deflectors
☼ Gob rotation - gobs start to rotate due to shearing or long gob shape. This results in loading marks and slower movement through the troughs and deflectors
☼ Conventional shear sprays apply lubricant to only one side of the gob distributor funnels. This results in dragging on one side of the scoop and reduces gob speed.
☼ Sectional differences - larger machines suffer from different loading times between the inner and outer sections. This limits the machine speed and gives inconsistencies across the sections
☼ Gob interaction - multi-gob delivery results in drift created by the Bernoulli effect due to the distance between the shear point and gob distributor. This results in loading marks and slower delivery.
