CORNING MUSEUM OF GLASSRESEARCH GRANTS TO SUPPORT STUDIES

The Corning Museum of Glass has awardedgrants in 2010 to fund research projects studying

European vessel glass and designs for glass by Belgiansculptor Yvonne Serruys.

Dr. Jerzy J. Kunicki-Goldfinger, a researcher of histo-rical glass at the School of History and Archaeology atCardiff University, will receive a grant for his study ofvessel glass from central Europe in the late medieval pe-riod to the end of the preindustrial era.

Kunicki-Goldfinger, who is taking a materials scienceapproach to his subject, intends to publish a book basedon his research. It will offer, he says, “a comprehensiveintroduction to the technological and compositional devel-opment of vessel glass in central Europe…It will outlinethe basic types of glass composition, their historicaldevelopment, and [their] geographical distribution. Untilnow, there has been no comprehensive study, written fromthe material scientist’s point of view, covering glass orig-inating from this period and area.”

Kunicki-Goldfinger received his Ph.D. in conservationfrom Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toru, Poland.From 1999 to 2007, he was head of research on historicalglass at the Institute of Nuclear Chemistry andTechnology in Warsaw. He has been studying historicalglass at Cardiff University since 2008.

A professor of 19th century art at Ghent University, Dr.Marjan Sterckx will receive a grant to assist her researchon the designs of Belgian sculptor Yvonne Serruys (1873-1953). Between about 1905 and 1910, Serruys designedmodels for more than 300 objects to be made in pâte deverre and blown glass by the factory of Georges Despret(1862-1952) in Jeumont, France. Despret was a pioneer ofthe pâte de verre technique, which was used for both dec-orative and functional objects.

Sterckx says she discovered this intriguing but little-known aspect of Serruys’s work while she was writing hermaster’s thesis on the artist. Most of the art objects shehas found that are signed or stamped by Serruys andDespret are vases and plates that reflect the influence ofArt Nouveau and japonisme. Sterckx expects her researchto “lead to new knowledge and insights…on the collabo-ration of artists/sculptors and glass factories, and on thefashion for glass-paste objects during the belle époque.”

Sterckx’s dissertation on female sculptors in Paris,London and Brussels from 1770 to 1953 was awarded the2009 Prize for Human Sciences by the AcademischeStichting Leuven in Belgium. She received her Ph.D. inart history from Leuven University. Following her post-doctoral work at that university, she was a lecturer in art

history and has been a professor at Ghent University sinceOctober 2009.

The Rakow Grant for Glass Research was founded bythe late Dr. and Mrs. Leonard S. Rakow. It is awardedannually to support scholarly research on the history ofglass and glassmaking.

GLASSLAB AT VITRA DESIGN MUSEUMThe Corning Museum of Glass will bring GlassLab

to the Vitra Design Museum during Art Basel 2010,pairing international designers with Corning Museumglassmakers for a series of collaborative 'design perfor-mances.' GlassLab design sessions will take place on thenewly expanded Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein,Germany, 14-20 June 2010. Participating designers willinclude Atelier Oi, Wendell Castle, Tomas Libertiny andJeff Zimmerman, among others.

The designers will bring their sketchbooks and conceptsand work side-by-side with glassmakers in a unique mobilehotshop developed by the Corning Museum of Glass. Theteams will rapidly prototype their design ideas in live ses-sions, allowing audiences to observe this dynamic interplayand watch the evolution of the designs as they are created.

GlassLab has been featured at the Cooper-Hewitt,National Design Museum, and at Design Miami/ArtBasel Miami. The hot glass design performance pro-gramme was inspired by glass design workshops present-ed by the Corning Museum at Domaine de Boisbuchet, adesign retreat centre which is a cooperative effort of theVitra Design Museum and the Centre Georges Pompidou,C.I.R.E.C.A. (Centre International de Recherche etd'Education Culturelle et Agricole) in the Charente regionof Southwest France.

“GlassLab provides designers rare access to hot glass-making processes and enables them to experience firsthand the full potential of glass as a material for design,”said Rob Cassetti, creative director of The CorningMuseum of Glass. “We value the partnership we've had inthe Vitra Design Museum in presenting GlassLab and areexcited to share for the first time this creative exchangewith the public at Art Basel.” GlassLab attendees will alsobe able to explore the Vitra Campus featuring the VitraDesign Museum and a collection of buildings by ninecontemporary architects, including the new VitraHaus byHerzog & de Meuron. The Essence of Things. Design andthe Art of Reduction - an exhibition investigating themotifs and motivations of reduction in design - will be onview at the Vitra Design Museum.

SWANSEA METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY75TH ANNIVERSARY

An exhibition marking the 75 years of glass workopened 1 May 2010 at Swansea Metropolitan

University's Welsh School of Architectural Glass, curat-ed by Chris Bird-Jones, the museum's masters glass pro-gramme director.

Glass was introduced to Swansea in 1935 by WilliamGrant Murray, director of the city's School of Art, and had,as one of its first students, local glass manufacturerHoward Martin, who launched the first diploma in stainedglass. Martin, and his cousin Hubert Thomas, thenopened Celtic Studios, employing graduates and acceptingcommissions from across the world.

By the 1970s, the course had adopted the title of

Architectural Stained Glass, and, in 1976, the School ofArt, along with the city's College of Education andTechnical College, was incorporated into the new WestGlamorgan Institute of Higher Education.

In 1993, Tim Lewis, the head of department at thattime, launched a degree in Architectural Stained Glass,followed, six years later, by a Masters degree introducedby his successor Rodney Bender.

Students from the Welsh School of Architectural Glasshave won an unprecedented number of awards for their worksince the start of stained glass education 75 years ago.

Head of the school, Dr. Ian Walsh, said: “We are walk-ing a tightrope between contemporary and traditional prac-tice which makes us the only purely architecturally-basedglass school in the world."

“It's this appeal that we want to maintain, both nation-ally and internationally, with Swansea remaining as amajor global centre for the discipline.”

The anniversary will be marked with a series of eventsand exhibitions throughout 2010, with the stained glassdisplay open to the public from 1 May to 20 June.

PENRICE SODA HOLDINGSFULL-YEAR EARNINGS FORECAST CHANGES

Australia's soda-ash producer Penrice SodaHoldings reported at the end of April 2010 that

full-year earnings are expected to be AUD 5-6 million,with negative cash flow of AUD 7-9 million, and nothigher than last year's AUD 7.1 million, despite Penriceearning only AUD 2.4 million in the first half, as reaf-firmed by chief executive Guy Roberts in early March.

According to Roberts, orders from three glassmakers,which account for 70% of the company's soda-ash produc-tion, suddenly dried up.

Management also blamed lower sodium bicarbonatesales, the result of lower stockfeed demand following east-ern seaboard rainfall.

Penrice expects salvation from the recovery in hous-

ing starts and a general improvement in food and bever-age demand.

STÖLZE GLASSINVESTMENTS

Austrian Stölzle Glass Group is investing inits production of pharmaceutical packaging glass

in the Czech Republic, which suffered a disastrous fire

in December 2009. The first step was to build a com-pletely new production hall, including a regenerativestate-of-the-art furnace notable for its extremely lowenergy consumption and optimized NOx emissions.

During this period of production standstill, the fully-automated cold end of the Czech plant, which was onlymarginally damaged by the fire, has also been undergo-

ing an extensive renovation. The factorysite has been increased by the purchaseof more than 13,000 sq.m. of adjacentland, of which 5,000 sq.m. dedicated toexpanding the sorting and storage areas.

In addition to the operation of themost modern inspection and packag-ing machines, all pharmaceutical glasslines will use Laminar Flow clean room technology.

The solidarity and cooperation thatStölzle employees have shown in theCzech factory rebuilding project demon-strates that the Stölzle motto: “Unity isStölzle’s strength” lives throughout theglass group. The support and effort of Stölzle employees in all the sites,especially the know-how provided bythe Austrian plant, expert in the produc-tion of pharmaceutical glass, has beenvital in the achievement of technicalperfection in such a limited time.Production is planned to restart mid-July and the official inauguration of theplant will take place mid-October, bywhich time all additional work such asminor construction and landscaping willbe completed.

O-IEXPANSION OF R&D FACILITIES

O-I (Owens-Illinois) CEO Al Stroucken andOhio Governor Ted Strickland announced O-I’s

plans to further expand its glass research and developmentfacilities on its campus in Perrysburg at a recent pressconference.

The company is investing USD 11.5 million in labo-ratories and glass science research facilities adding 6,000sq.ft. and 32 new high-paying jobs at O-I’s AdvancedGlass Technology Center.

During a tour of the facilities, governor Strickland, themedia, and O-I officials witnessed a demonstration of anew organic curable glass coating process developed in thelaboratories.

O-I also said that it will invest USD 6 million at itsZanesville, Ohio plant, which manufactures bottles forthe spirits industry, to pilot new product and manufactur-ing concepts.

NEW MOULD PLANT IN TIANJINO-I has officially opened a new mould plant in

Tianjin, China, to supply moulds to O-I plants through-out the world.

Located approximately 120 kilometers southeast of theChinese capital Beijing, the O-I Tianjin Mould Co. Ltd.is one of the largest glass mould manufacturing sites inAsia, employing nearly 300 people. The plant is a jointventure between O-I and partner Yi Qing. O-I has a sec-ond mould facility in Manaus, Brazil.

The new factory is more than 35,000 square meters andmakes round and shaped moulds and blanks, as well asfinish equipment. Each mould can shape more than twomillion containers.

Asia Pacific Region President Greg Ridder said theplant was integral in making O-I’s mould equipment morecost- and speed efficient.

Established in 1903, the company employs more than23,000 people with 78 manufacturing facilities in 21countries. In 2008, net sales were USD 7.9 billion.

STRONG FIRST QUARTERO-I has reported strong profits and revenues for the first

quarter of 2010.According to the company, higher average selling

prices and a better product mix helped it make a first-quar-ter profit of USD 85.3 million, or 50 cents a share, an89% increase compared to the profit of USD 45.1 mil-lion, or 27 cents a share, for the same period in 2009.

O-I, headquartered in Perrysburg, and the biggest compa-ny in the Toledo area, reported quarterly sales of USD 1.6billion, an increase of 6% from USD 1.5 billion in 2009.

The company said the sales increase was mainly due tofavourable foreign currency exchanges.

However, the first quarter was a large turning point forthe company since it marked the end of nine consecutivequarters of unfavourable sales volume trends caused by theglobal recession.

O-I said it had made a strategic move in the quarter byacquiring Argentine glassmaker Cristalerias Rosario,which will enable it to penetrate the fast-growing andprofitable market in Argentina, also enhancing O-I's over-all South American operations.

SUSTAINABILITY CREDENTIALS OF GLASSPACKAGING

O-I is hoping to convince consumers of the sustain-ability credentials of glass packaging with the lifecycleassessment of a 335ml glass container from the extractionof raw materials through to reuse or recycling, serving tocreate an equivalent cradle-to-cradle assessment for alu-minium and PET.

This research, said O-I, is a first for the packagingindustry.

According to O-I chief executive Al Stroucken:"Many assessments used today only take into account aportion of the full lifecycle of a product, resulting inincomplete and inaccurate data. Customers are some-times unknowingly making packaging decisions basedon incomplete data."

He added that inconsistent measurements had made itimpossible to compare packaging materials and the firmhad sought to take the "best and most complete approach"to provide an accurate picture.

The carbon footprint regards four areas of the world -North and Latin America, Western Europe and Asia-Pacific - assuming a higher proportion of recycled contentfor aluminium than glass and PET for each area.

The results proved that PET and aluminium containersused more carbon dioxide in all four regions, except inLatin America, where aluminium and glass had the samecarbon footprint.

The research also states that transporting finished con-tainers accounted for 4-5% of carbon emissions, confirm-ing the benefits of increased recycled content.

The results also show that packaging has a lower car-bon footprint in Western Europe than in North America,where it assumed a lower level of recycled content.

O-I said it currently used 36% recycled glass worldwide,thus generating enough energy savings to offset the emis-sions from transporting finished goods.

O-I vice president of sustainability, Jay Scripter, said:"When you look at the complete lifecycle of glass, com-monly held misconceptions are disproved. Food and bev-erage makers concerned about sustainability shouldchoose glass."

NAMPAK WIEGAND GLASSWASTE GLASS PROCESSINGPLANT LAUNCHED

Glass packaging company Nampak WiegandGlass has launched its new R160-million

waste glass processing plant, which uses innovativetechnology and equipment from Austrian Binder+Co,and is expected to meet all its future processing and sup-ply needs.

Thanks to the a high-resolution camera system, whichis able to recognize a wide colour spectrum to separatewaste glass shards according to colour, the process isspeeded up drastically when compared with sorting differ-ent colour glass waste by hand.

The company aims to process 10,000 t/m of glassusing the new technology, which will be more than dou-ble its current 4,000 t/m.

The new plant will also separate the waste glass fromother material, clean the sorted waste glass and delivermaterial ready for use in the manufacture of new glassproducts.

During the launch, Nampak group executive CharlesBromley said that the new plant was a dream which hadbecome reality, as the company had not thought it wouldbe possible to sort glass mechanically, and was part of aninvestment programme to transform Nampak WiegandGlass into a world-class player.

The plant is also a significant contributor to Nampak'senvironmental drive, as it promotes community glassrecycling and meets energy efficiency requirements.

Shabeer Jhetam, The Glass Recycling Company'sGM, congratulated Nampak Wiegand Glass and com-mended the company for its commitment to glass recy-cling in South Africa.

He added that The Glass Recycling Company's aim wasthat of collecting about 290,000 tons of glass this fiscalperiod, increase recovery levels and achieve a recyclingrate of at least 50%.

OWENS CORNINGWORKERS REHIRED

At the Owens Corning composites plant inAmarillo, Texas, workers dismissed during a pre-

vious layoff have been rehired. The company was hit hardby the economic crisis and was obliged to let go morethan 250 workers. The facility, one of largest glass-melt-ing plants in the world, has rehired workers as it works inorder to meet the growing need for Owens Corning’s prod-ucts around the globe.

“We have continued to restart capacity to meet increaseddemand for the products that that plant manufactures andsupplies,” Owens Corning spokeswoman Kerry Desbergsaid. “We now have about 490 employees at the plant, andwe will be hiring approximately an additional 20 newemployees in the next few months.”

“Those (furloughs) happened over the course of 2009,and gradually, we’ve been gradually bringing people back,”Desberg said. “We have brought back everybody who hadbeen furloughed that was available to come back.”

“These capacity increases are focused on meetingdemand and ensuring the profitable success of our cus-tomers and our company,” Desberg said. “Demand increas-es are currently driven in large part by energy and infra-structure spending and include markets like wind energyand oil, and which are currently straining capacity forsome products in the market,” adding that all the factory’sfurnaces are operating.

President and CEO of the Amarillo EconomicDevelopment Corp., Buzz David, said Owens Corningmakes raw materials that other manufacturers use to maketheir products, and that Owens Corning’s rehirings arelinked to the company’s overall expansion plans.

“I think you look at that as kind of an early indicator ofthe overall economy improving. That means other indus-tries are starting to make more of their goods and productsagain because they need that raw material,” he said.

“Basic industries seem to be getting back to work thatsupport other industry - not just the local area - but sup-port things around the country and the world.”

GLOBAL COMPETITION FOR BREAK-THROUGH COMPOSITE APPLICATIONS

Owens Corning has launched a global competition tofind new applications for composite materials, focused onfour categories to help resolve some of society’s mostimportant issues:1. Infrastructure Durability, critical to clean drinking

water and preventing the crumbling of bridges, streetsand buildings. Composites are corrosion resistant andcan contribute in building and re-building a moredurable, more sustainable future, also ensuring a posi-tive quality of life;

2. Fuel Efficiency: Lighter cars, trucks, trains, planes andships need less fuel. Composites help reduce weightand improve energy efficiency;

3. Renewable Energy: Large-scale wind energy is notpractical without composite materials - and are key tomany other new technologies such as wave energy andocean thermal systems;

4. Protection from Harm: Composite materials provide alightweight shield in the line of fire for soldiers - eitherfor personal or vehicle protection. Today’s applicationsare only a minute part of what these versatile materialscan do to save lives.“Since the commercialization of glass fibers more than

70 years ago, Owens Corning has led the world in develop-ing applications for composite materials,” said AshishDiwanji, vice president of innovation for the OwensCorning Composite Solutions Business. “The world hasnever been more in need of the corrosion-resistant, energy-efficient, protective properties composites deliver. Withthis competition we are looking for the next big applica-tion to help change the world in the way only compositesmaterials can, and help drive the growth of the industry.”

Those who wish to participate must submit their appli-cations or ideas on the competition website by 15 July2010 (www.occompositeappchallenge.com).

Eight finalists will then be chosen and invited to pre-sent their ideas. Final decisions will be made consideringscalability and long-term success.

Winners will be announced in February 2011, duringthe American Composites Manufacturers Association(ACMA) trade fair in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. US.

“As a company, we continually invest millions of dol-lars globally in innovation to enhance existing productsand develop new technologies and solutions,” addedDiwanji.

“This competition is about joining forces with othergreat thinkers with great ideas, and driving the speed atwhich composites is transforming the future of the mate-rials market even more quickly. We couldn’t be moreexcited to see where this competition can help take ourindustry next.”

FIRST QUARTER GROWTHOwens Corning reported an important increase in sales

for the first three months of 2010 in its composites seg-ment, and posted a profit of USD 48 million, or 38 centsa share, a turnaround from a loss of USD 28 million, or23 cents a share, for the same period in 2009.

The Toledo-based company said sales in the quartertotalled USD 1.27 billion, an increase of 18% comparedto USD 1.07 billion for the year-ago quarter.

According to Owens Corning, while the composites seg-ment sales surged 34%, sales of roofing products climbed16% and its profit margins in that segment improved.

GERRESHEIMERGOOD START TO THE YEAR

Gerresheimer AG has got off to a good start inthe new financial year. In the first quarter

(December 2009 to February 2010), sales increased by1.4% on a like-for-like basis and amounted to EUR 224.8million. Profit from operations even increased by 34%.“We have got off to a good start in the new financial yearand set the stage for further growth in 2010,” said Dr.Axel Herberg, CEO of Gerresheimer AG.

The leading supplier to the pharma and healthcare indus-tries achieved sales of EUR 224.8 million matching thelevel of sales in the strong first quarter of the previous year.

Adjusted for currency translation and the divested seg-ment Technical Plastic Systems sales improved by 1.4%.The first quarter was characterized by a good business devel-opment in the pharma segment, which accounts for aroundthree quarters of total group revenues, and slow spending inthe cyclical segments.

The operating result (Adjusted EBITDA) of EUR 38.3million remained on the level of the prior year. Howeverthe operating margin (Adjusted EBITDA margin) increasedto 17.0% (prior year: 16.1%).

In the period under review profit from operationsincreased to EUR 12.3 million (Q1 2009: EUR 9.2 mil-

lion) and a positive net income of EUR 2.4 million (Q12009: EUR -1.1 million) was achieved. This substantialprofit improvement is amongst other things due to animproved financial result. Net financial debt declined com-pared to previous year’s quarter by approximately EUR 60million to EUR 402.6 million.

Gerresheimer AG remains on its path for growth. Whilethe company expects sales growth in the Pharma segment,the sustainable recovery of the more cyclical segmentsCosmetics and Life Science Research is not yet visible.

The forecast for the 2010 financial year remainsunchanged. The company expects a sales increase of 2-4%and an improved operating margin (Adjusted EBITDAMargin) of around 19.5%.

Thanks to a solid financing structure and strong oper-ating cash flow the company is well equipped to makefuture investments in sustainable growth. Capital expen-diture for the financial year 2010 will total around EUR75 million to 80 million.

WELL-POSITIONED FOR FURTHER GROWTHAt its Annual General Meeting on 27 April 2010, wide

approval was given by Gerresheimer shareholders on allthe agenda items.

CEO Dr. Axel Herberg commented on the startingposition for 2010: “We have ended the financial year 2009

with very solid figures and have made agood start to the year 2010.Gerresheimer is ideally positioned tocontinue on the path of success.”

In his speech, Herberg confirmed theguidance for the current financial yearwith sales growth of 2% to 4% and animprovement in the operating margin(adjusted EBITDA margin) to around19.5%. Also during the meeting, Dr.Herberg, who will leave theManagement Board on 21 June 2010,was elected to the Supervisory Boardwith effect from 1 September 2010.His successor as CEO will be UweRöhrhoff, the Management Board mem-ber of many years standing.

The Annual General Meeting fol-lowed the management’s proposal towaive the payment of a dividend. Thefunds will instead be used for furtherdebt reduction and exploitation ofgrowth opportunities.

GLASS PACKAGINGINSTITUTE40 YEARS TO ACHIEVE ‘ZERO WASTE’

According to a survey conducted by OpinionResearch for the Glass Packaging Institute

(GPI) from 8-11 April 2010, the majority of Americanssaid that they believe it will take at least another 40 yearsto achieve ‘Zero Waste’. The container glass industry is,however, continuing to work towards the goal of using50% recycled glass in the manufacture of new glass bot-tles and jars by 2013.

“Creating ‘zero-waste’ in the US is a goal that needs tobe shared by all industries, communities, and consumers,”says Joseph Cattaneo, GPI president. “In this regard, theglass container industry continues to forge ahead in creat-ing more awareness about the environmental benefits ofglass container recycling to meet our goal to use up to

50% recycled content in the manufacture of new glass bot-tles and jars by 2013.”

“One of the outstanding environmental benefits of glasscontainers is their recyclability in a closed-loop process,”says Cattaneo. “Reuse of post-consumer recycled glass con-tainers minimizes consumption of raw materials, lessensthe industry’s demand for energy, and reduces greenhousegas emissions.” Doubling the US glass container recyclingrate (28.1% in 2008) would enable manufacturers to use50% recycled glass to make new glass containers, withenough power savings for 21,978 homes for one year,removing 181,550 tons of waste from landfills everymonth. GPI and its members are actively supporting on-premise bar, restaurant, and hotel recycling initiatives tomeet the 50% goal. More than 28% of beverages packagedin glass are sold in restaurants and other venues.

The second-annual Recycle Glass Week, a glass con-tainer collection and awareness event aimed to educateconsumers about the environmental benefits of glass con-tainer recycling, will also be hosted by GPI 12-18September 2010.

klostroj Turnov CZ, s.r.o.,a traditional supplier of ISmachines and other equip-ment for container glass

production, is celebrating its 60thanniversary this year. Over theyears, it has been part of big indus-trial groups as well as an indepen-dent enterprise, and used to be, dur-ing the turbulent past of the CzechRepublic, part of two antagonisticeconomical systems.Thanks to its long history and con-siderable experience in the construc-tion of container glassmaking

machinery, the company has ISO9001-2008 quality certificationwith its present ownership, whichtook over in 1994 and is continu-ously flexible to changes in market-and client needs and demands.

PRODUCTIONThanks to the successful work

and dedication of its employees,the company can ensure totalclient satisfaction. Thanks to con-tinuous collaboration with clients,and the respect for their needs,Sklostroj Turnov can reflect these

same needs in its general develop-ment or in specific features whenmachines are tailored for a particu-lar customer.

Continuous investment intonew technology, personnel train-ing and hard work, has positionedSklostroj Turnov among the worldleaders supplying hot- and cold-endequipment or turnkey projects.

Today, in fact, Sklostroj Turnovis among the most important global suppliers of technology andequipment for the production of con-tainer glass.

Sklostroj Turnov:

CELEBRATING 60 YEARS’ ACTIVITIES in hollow glass machinery

Founded in 1950, Sklostroj Turnov is celebrating

60 years of activity and tradition in glass machinery

manufacture. The company has, over the years, been

located in three different states without moving from the

Turnov municipality, due to the political turmoil the

Czech Republic has undergone. In this article, the

company leads us through the most important

moments of its history.

Since 1961, the company hasmanufactured over 330 IS machines,which include the majority ofmachines produced after privatizationin 1994. Among these machines,there are also machines with 12 sec-tions. Sklostroj Turnov exports 98per cent of its production, which iscarried out using high-tech CNCmachines, in-house assemblingareas and, last but not least, expe-rienced personnel and investmentsin training.

Turnkey projectsSklostroj Turnov has extensive

experience in turnkey deliveries, themost frequent being lines - i.e.technological units from forehearthchannels at the hot end to packing

machines at the cold end. However,the company has also carried outdeliveries of complete glass plantsincluding batch house, melting fur-nace and auxiliary facilities.

Turnkey deliveries cover a moreextensive scope of supplies thanSklostroj Turnov’s own productionprogrammes and those of its branchSklarske Stroje Znojmo.

Therefore the informal and flexible syndicate ‘SklostrojTurnov and partners’ was created in2002. Its members are importantsuppliers of various additional systems and services for the glass industry - e.g. Teplotechna Prima, Vetroconsult, TVT, MGT,Siemens, Resim, GTI can be men-tioned among others.

HE COMPANYOCMI-OTG S.p.A. is

recognized as one of theworld leaders in the manu-

facturing of machines for the pro-duction of tubular pharmaceuticalglass containers.

A mature product, but with aninherent ability to continuouslyimprove on qualitative aspects,which has allowed this type ofglass packaging to undergo, with-out difficulty, the most arduous tri-als, comparison to possible newpackaging solutions, confirming itsposition as a quality and cost-effec-tive option.

AMPOULE AND VIAL PRODUCTION- a company speciality

During the last decade, the request of

tubular containers, such as ampoules

and vials, has constantly increased in the

international market. The highest increase

has been registered in developing

countries, where the development of

pharmaceutical production and impro-

vements of existing production standards

requires fully automatic lines able to grant

constant quality and higher efficiency.

Glass-Machinery Plants & Accessories spoke

to Sergio Corno, Sales Manager at OCMI, who

gave us some indications of how the company

responds to this worldwide request of special,

technical glass, with particular focus on

efficiency and quality control, important

features of the company’s range of automatic

lines for both ampoule and vial production.


T

MM30 Ampoule formingmachines in operation



dred installations all over the world,OCMI provides the market with themost complete range of automaticlines for the production of ampoulesand vials from glass tubes.

Since 1998, and thanks to theacquisition of Moderne Mecaniquefrom Schott, OCMI S.p.A. hasbecome the largest supplier of pro-duction lines and accessories fortubular glass containers grantingthe best quality level requested bythe pharmaceutical sector.

The aim of this brief and simplepresentation is to introduce theequipment and accessories thatOCMI-OTG, together with ModerneMecanique, is able to offer to thistraditional production segment.

OCMI-OTG has two divisionsin Milan, one for tableware andtechnical glass under the AMIGbrand name, and the other for glassmachinery for ampoules and vials,along with machines for technicaland pharmaceutical glassware,under OCMI and ModerneMecanique brands.

In Paris, France, ModerneMecanique is involved exclusivelyin production lines of pharmaceu-tical glass – vials and ampoules –forming machines and process-ing lines, as well as the productionof one of the machines for vials –the MM30.

AMPOULE PRODUCTION LINES

Facing a higher and higherdemand of quality and efficiencycoming from end-users, OCMI/Moderne Mecanique produces today’smost updated ampoule productionlines made up of the following form-ing machine models:

FA36S & MM30The main differences between

these two models are:• the number of chucks (30 sets for

the MM30 and 36 sets for theFA36S); and

• the installation on the FA36S ofthe special section for the auto-matic manufacturing of the first

bottom of every new glass tubethat is loaded into the machine.This device will enable to reject

only the first part of cut glass tubes(approximately 20 millimetres)instead of the first ampoule that isnormally produced without a bot-tom or with lower bottom quality.

Both models of machines areready to be to be connected to theLA502 After-Forming Line, whereall the most important accessories,required today from the market, canbe installed:• automatic controls;• ampoule closing device (Form D

ISO9187-2);• colour break and colour code

rings;• printing;• OPTICUT;• annealing lehr;• automatic packing.

All OCMI’s machines are able to

produce all the main kinds ofampoules normally used by theinternational market.

With regards to ampoule pro-duction lines, the latest develop-ments increasing the quality levelof finished ampoules and the effi-ciency of OCMI’s formingmachines can be seen in OPTIS-TEM/2 and OPTICUT®/2 .

OPTISTEM/2The OPTISTEM/2 automatic

self-adjust system is ready to beinstalled on OCMI’s FA36S or MM30 ampoule formingmachines. The system includestwo different control modes calledCRC and CRM.

CRC (control of the heatingvalue) is designed to maintain thedistribution of heating on a definedpart of the glass tube under con-stant control.

The system will allow a mini-mization of rejects as a result of:• measurement before stem forma-

tion;• detection and rejection of eccen-

tricity and ovality.Control is carried out by means

of an infrared camera installedbefore the last two heating burners,which will arrange the control ofthe glass tubes during the heatingphase, along with managing theproportional valves for the self-adjustment of the last two burnerflames with the control of the heat-ing value.

In this way the CRC is able toself-adjust:• possible variations of the heating

value arranged by the burnersinstalled before the camera;

• the quantity of the heating valuein case of variation of the glassvolume (diameter and thickness).The main scope of the CRC

function is to maintain machineset-up constant also in the case ofvariation of the heating valuereceived from the glass tube.

CRM (control of the dimensionvalue) is carried out by a camerainstalled at the end of the produc-tion cycle, and controls all the maindimensions of the ampoules (excepttotal length) providing real-timeproduction control of dimensions

D1, D2, D3 and D4, plus eccentric-ity and ovality, with the possibilityof creating a data sheet divided asper dimensions, chucks and so on.

The system is prepared to trans-fer the statistical data in real timeenabling it to be elaborated by aseparate PC.

The CRM uses the dimension val-ues to reach three main objectives:1. reject ampoules out of tolerance;2. improve ampoule production

with a feedback action to theCRC control;

3. generate a statistical database ofthe values controlled.

OPTICUT®/2The LA 502 After-Forming

Line, together with all the otheraccessories needed to finish theampoules produced by FA36S orMM30 forming machines, isdesigned to install the OPTI-CUT®/2 (O.P.C.), as an alternativeampoule easy break system to thestandard Colour Break.

The OPTICUT®/2 Ampoule

Easy Breaking system allows toproduce a higher quality level ofthe preli-minary cut and a reducedspread of breaking force values.

A better control of the easybreaking system enables to obtain alower rate of glass particles duringampoule re-opening operations.

The new OPTICUT®/2 ElectronicControl System was designed tohave better programming and controlof the main working parametersand replace the old style ofElectronic Charts.

The new Electronic ControlSystem was designed to be easilyintegrated in the existing oldModerne Mecanique OPTICUT®,without replacement of anymechanical part and without

cabling of the existing electricalcomponents.

The major advantages of thisnew OPTICUT®/2 ElectronicControl System are:1. replacement of the old

“Electronic Charts” with a new

On the contrary, with thenew Panel View, the set-up ofthe different parameters isexpressed in absolute values,with the possibility of shortermodification time and an imme-diate check of the results;

4. the regulation of the SteppingMotor Stroke for the positioningof the ampoules is now electron-ically controlled. On the panelview you can identify the realworking position, inside the the-oretical working area, with thepossibility of making faster andfiner adjustments;This new function enables toeasily identify the required posi-tion corrections, in order to havebetter scribing wheel operationsand more control of final cutquality.

5. thanks to new software, the regu-lation of ink quantity and the vac-uum system used to provide theColour Point will be more effec-tive, with better control of quality.

VIAL PRODUCTION LINESWith regards to ampoule produc-

tion, OCMI/Moderne Mecanique

also manufactures the most com-plete and updated range of conti-nuous rotary motion formingmachines for tubular vials.

Continuous motion technology,together with the high level ofmechanical and electronic solutionsadopted, grant higher productionspeed and constant production qua-lity levels.

The models of production linestoday distributed worldwide are:• FLA 20E or FLA20/S + LF 520

After-forming Line; and• FLA 35 + LF 535 After-forming

Line.Both models are able to produce

all types of vials used on the mar-ket today, such as Penicillin,Insulin, Screw Neck and Blow-back neck.

With a set of special modifica-tions, both machines are able toproduce special containers such asdental cartridges, syringe bodies andglass droppers.

The FLA 20E has been designedand realized with new electronicsolutions, to allow:• higher flexibility for markets

FLA 35 Vial makingmachine with ROBOGLASSloader

FLA 20E – Vial FormingHead in operation



where many different vial types (indiameters and shapes) are requiredwith small production batches;

• very short and simple jobchangeover operations requiredfor small/medium productionbatches.The FLA 35 on the other hand, is

designed to grant:• higher efficiency for mass pro-

duction of the same vials; and• reduction of production costs so

as to be more competitive withother low speed production stylesmachines.The major differences between

the two models of formingmachines are related to theProduction Speed for the differenttype of vials. Both formingmachines can be completed with theautomatic vial processing linesLF520 and LF535, which areequipped with all the required ope-rations for the treatment of the vialsafter the forming machine.

The transfer of the vial from theforming machine is controlled bythe Electronic Synchronizer, whilethe transfer chain from the formingmachine to the line is equippedwith a special vial vacuum unload-ing device from the lower chucks ofthe vial machine.

This system is able to reducepossible breakages and scratches onthe main vial body.

The dimensional control of theproduced vials is granted by the“Electronic Quality ControlStation” which checks main vialdimension parameters such as:- total length;- external diameter;- lip thickness; and- internal diameter,

with automatic ejection of out oftolerance vials.

The printing of the vial body iscarried out by the automatic “Silk-screen Vial Printing” station, whichis equipped with a sensor to detectthe presence of vials, thus eliminat-ing the possibility of workingwithout the presence of vials. Thestation is completed with a pre-dry-ing station equipped with heatingelements.

Vials are annealed by means ofan “Electrical Annealing Lehr”equipped with heating elements.The lehr can also be supplied witha Gas Burners System to replacethe electrical type. The tempera-ture is controlled by two indepen-dent thermocouples and the vialsare moved along by four tracksworking in pairs.

This system enables safer trans-fer of the vials and better controlof the heat constancy. The vials areprogressively cooled in the finalsection of the tunnel to avoidinternal strain that it is possible tocreate with sudden temperaturechanges.

At the end of the production line,the vials are ordered in the finalpacking box by the unloading beltfrom the annealing chain with plat-form for the preparation of the finalvial box. The packing station issupplied complete of vial storage.

THE INTERVIEWWITH SERGIO CORNO, SALES MANAGER AT OCMI

The two products we are present-ing in this article are the OPTIS-TEM/2, which is mounted on form-ing machines, while OPTICUT®/2is an accessory for processing lines.

The latter is an easy-breaking sys-tem, which involves a micro-inci-sion on the neck of the vial.

This micro-incision is madeusing a high-speed chuck – 12,000rpm – with the difference betweenthis system and the previous ‘old’systems such as colour breakbeing that this new system ismuch more controllable as thepressure and time of incision onthe glass are controlled electroni-cally – both by a sensor that‘feels’ the ampoules and the vibra-tions of the same ampoules, aswell as by programming. Thisenables to have greater control ofthe parameters regarding the for-mation of particles of glass duringbreakage (and reduce them) andcontrol and reduce the range ofbreaking load needed to open theampoules, making them much eas-ier to open.

Has the use of electronic systemsincreased production quantity andnot only quality?

We can say that OPTISTEM/2installed on a forming machine –with its system of cameras andcontrol and self-adjustment – isaimed precisely at increased pro-duction quantity and quality.Further aims include that of reduc-ing to the utmost all the possiblevariables and parameters becausethe more these are under controland stable the more uniform andhigher quality the final productwill have.

This, of course, is valid for allproduction phases. In this particularprocess, we are working with a rawmaterial that has its own type ofvariability and tolerance withregards to finished products, whichis more or less constant dependingon the manufacturer, where theproduct is made, environmentaltemperatures and conditions, etc.Then, of course, there is themachine that makes the containers– using heat – all involving vari-ables that we must try to maintainconstant or at least controlled in the

tightest range possible. The morewe are able to control these vari-ables and tighten this range, themore constant the quality of thefinal product will be.

Does the machine operator havethe possibility of inserting dataand characteristics relative to theglass tubes?

No. At present, there is a strongmarket aim to reach the possibili-ty of including automatisms butuntil now the costs, the difficulty,and the quantity of variables neces-sary for this kind of control havenot favoured the search for produc-tion machinery and processes, atleast in part, automated.

What we have been able toobtain up to now is to try toinclude something that can helpavoid fluctuations of the situationinside these processes as much aspossible. It is, obviously, not at alleasy, also because there are numer-ous initial variables that we cannotchange, such as, for example, theraw material – the glass tube –which can, in my opinion, almostbe considered a living material andis, therefore, not constant.

On the other, if it is true that inmany cases the glass containers areproduced following the requests ofclients, a large part of the marketis made up of standard vial produc-tion – as per international ISO cer-tifications – but which, however,is still generally recognized onlyas ‘packaging’.

Pharmaceutical packaging, evenif made of the highest qualityborosilicate glass, however, as any kind of packaging product,has, at its origins, an industrialproduct that must be available in considerable quantities, imme-diately and always, and have a low cost.

What has happened during thelast four to five years and during therecent economic crisis with regardsto the organization of the companyand with regards to glassworks forpharmaceutical glass? And, of

course, how does OCMI work withthese companies?

tSHEAR BLADE SYSTEMS

utsch was founded in 1871 by Hermann Putschwho had gained extensive knowledge in themanufacture of high-quality cutlery inRemscheid, Germany. On moving his business

from Remscheid to Hagen, he used this experience andexpertise to expand the original business and convert itinto a factory for the production of industrial knives in1881. Within a short time, Putsch was designing andconstructing machines and entire stations for the sugarindustry. The knives manufactured at the Hagen factorywere used very successfully in the beet slicers developedby the company.

The development of a new slicing technology and theproduction of the machines and knives to exploit thetechnology became the first area of specialized operationin the history of Putsch & Company.

In 1919, Mr. A.E. Radinger, engineer and majorityowner, assumed leadership of Putsch & Company.Under his leadership, new technologies for the sugarindustry were developed and patented. At the same time,machines and production stations for a new field ofendeavour - the glass industry - were also developed and patented. These innovations enabled the firm to

achieve rapid and successful growth.Building upon his experience in

manufacturing industrial knives,Radinger began to produce heat-resistant shear knives for the glassindustry at the Hagen factory and,today, Putsch shear knives are inuse in nearly all automated glassfactories in the world.

The company was then managedby the second generation of theRadinger family - H. C. Radinger -

who, as manager of the ExportDepartment, shaped the restructur-ing and expansion of the companyconsiderably.

In 2001, the third generation ofthe family took over with C. C.Radinger, who had been a memberof upper management since 1992and was in charge of the Technicaland Marketing departments of thecompany.

Under his guidance, numerous

Putsch products were improved andnew machinery and installationswere developed.

The incorporation of the G & Wcompany of Zeven, Germany,enabled the company to exploit theproduct range and technical know-how of the former Bamann &Schreiber, and Buetfering firms.

Today Putsch products areknown worldwide in all sugar andglass factories, as well as in filtra-tion and environmental technologyfor their quality and dependability.

SHEAR BLADE SYSTEMS FOR GOB FEEDERS

Putsch is one of the world'slargest manufacturers of shearblades for gob feeders which cutover 20 billion gobs of glass a yearat glass factories worldwide. TheSM 1775, SM 2316 and SM 4031are used mainly in the production ofglass bottles and glass containerswith cutting rates up to 200 cutsper minute. To enable its shearblades to withstand this type ofstress, their blades are made of highqua-lity, high-speed steel.

For the production of crystal andpressed glass articles, glass manu-facturers mainly use Putsch shearblades type SM 3533, SM 3167and SM 3299. These blades aremade from high precision solidspeciality steel in the company’sstate-of-the-art machining centres.Shear blades manufactured in thisprocessing manner guarantee supe-rior cutting results and minimalwear and tear.

QLS 401 compact lubrication system

The QLS 401 is a compact, mul-tifunctional, one-litre capacitylubrication system with an integrat-ed metering device. It includes allnecessary monitoring and controlfunctions. A stirring paddle enablesbetter grease homogenization, thus

preventing grease separation, evenwith long intervals between filling.

The QLS 401 is not only a lubri-cation pump, but also a completesystem that includes all necessarymonitoring and control functions asstandard features. All components,including an internal over-pressurevalve, are part of the integrated pack-age. The integrated, all-in-one sys-tem concept reduces installation time

and costs. The QLS 401 is designedfor all industrial and mobile appli-cations. Up to 18 lubrication pointscan reliably be supplied with lubri-cant directly from the pump andmonitored at an affordable price.

even after installation. This isaccomplished by simply exchang-ing the metering screw with a differ-ent size one. Tedious disassemblyand reassembly of entire meteringdevice segments is not required.

As expected, one or more outletpairs of the metering device can stillbe internally combined to achievegreater lubricant requirements. Thisis possible because the primary func-tion of the SSV remains unchangedin the SSV-D. The SSV-D meteringdevices can also be integrated intosystems utilizing standard SSVmetering devices.

SSV-D metering devices providehigh assurance of operations due tothe proven Lincoln single-blockmetering device technology.

Contact lubrication for roller chains

For the lubrication of conveyorchains, the newly developed contactlubrication by Lincoln offers essen-tial advantages compared to conven-tional brush lubrication. By using aplastic chain guide, the worst of thedirt on the chain is cleaned off and,at the same time, chain wear isreduced by an automatic and contin-uous lubricant supply. Additionally,the chain is carried through thechain guide of the lubrication sys-tem. Lincoln contact lubricationhas an extraordinary long lifethanks to highly wear-resistantplastics and is very robust andinsensitive to contamination andbeats.

It has been designed especially forchains in pallet conveyor systems,e.g. in the food and beverage indus-try. These pallet systems are exposedto a high grade of contamination by,for example, wood chips, brokenglass, and, in the winter, ice scrapsstick to the chain and result in pre-mature wear.

Other applications for contactlubrication are passenger or freightelevators as well as escalators.

to 14 outlets. The eight differentmetering screws range in size from0.08 cm3 to 1.8 cm3.

The new metering devices are 10millimetres thicker and five mil-limetres longer than the standardSSV metering devices. The threadsizes have been matched to thestandard SSV, thus SSV-D andstandard SSV metering devices arecombinable in systems.

SSV-D metering devices aremanufactured in the same style asthe SSV, which incorporates thesingle-block design. As a result,they are extremely resistant toexternal influences and loads of themachine to be lubricated. Leakages,which may occur between separatemetering device segments, are thuseliminated with this design.

The output of the progressivemetering device can be easily set,

has a simple but effective design –and this at a very favourable price.It is suitable for a wide range ofroller chains according to DIN8187, from 1/4-inch single up to 2-inch double, and for all types ofchain lubricants, from low-viscousoil to lubricating grease of NLGIgrade 2. It can be used with low andhigh chain speeds up to a maxi-mum of 40 metres per minute.

THE NEW GENERATION OF CHAIN LUBRICATIONSYSTEMS

Lincoln has developed the newgeneration of its well-knownCOBRA and PMA chain lubrica-tion systems.

Despite new types of materialand technology, many chains stillrequire lubrication. Proper lubrica-tion reduces friction and the subse-quent wear of the chain. Lincoln’snewly optimized system solutions(grease or oil) for chains that requirelubrication, offer accurate and finelymetered quantities of lubricant.

The PMA system is used in allindustry sectors for small to mediumsized chains; and the COBRA seriesis especially suitable for the lubrica-tion of heavy-duty conveyors andconveyor chains. This enablesLincoln to offer custom-tailoredsolutions for the full range of chainlubrication.

The COBRA 1X system wasspecially developed for the lubrica-tion of heavy-duty conveyor chainsand conveyor lines. The system can

supply either NLGI grade 2 greaseor oil.

The new drive technology, com-bined with a newly designed lubri-cation head, provide two key advan-tages:• the load subjected to the chain is

substantially lower. As a result,the chain and lubrication nippleswear less;

• a higher maximum lubricant pres-sure of up to 150 bar is possible,thus blocked or carbonized lubri-cation points are pressed open.The newly designed lubrication

head enables exact metering from0.2 cm3 to 2 cm3 per lubricationcycle, and the adjusting screwpermits infinite meteringadjusting within this range.Visual monitoring of thelubrication head function isperformed via the move-ment of an indicator pin.

The COBRA 1X sys-tem is sturdy. Therequired controller com-ponents have alsobeen minimized for

automated stop-start versions. Thismakes COBRA 1X long-lasting andcomprehendible with regards to itscontrol technology.

The “PMA 2” is a solenoid pumpfor the contact-free oil lubrication ofchains. The lubrication with an exactmetered quantity of oil occurs whilethe chain is in motion.

Advantages ofautomatic lubrication


In comparison to its predecessor,the new pump is characterized by acompact design and by its attractiveprice-to performance ratio.

One key enhancement is thehigher cycle frequency – now maxi-mum of 5 Hertz – so that even fastrunning chains can be lubricatedtrouble-free.

The capacity of the pump hasalso been increased to six outletsfrom previously only four. In addi-tion to the conventional nozzles, anewly developed double-nozzle isalso available, which furtherincrease the number of pointsserved by the pump.

A new solenoid magnet withimproved performance and a longerduty-cycle enable the pump to oper-ate in extreme high or low temper-ature conditions.

The pump is also available in anew 120 VAC version. Optionalelectrical monitoring is possiblevia a proximity switch. Additionalaccessories include a 13-litre and a36-litre reservoir for oil. Both reser-voirs are equipped with electricallow-level control and a large fillingport comprising a strainer.

ADVANTAGES OFAUTOMATED ANDCENTRALIZED LUBRICATION

Productivity is key in today’sglobal economy. Proper lubricationincreases uptime and makes mainte-nance routines simple. The increasedcost of lubricants and maintenanceduties, coupled with a highermachine and equipment value, drivesthe need for automatic centralizedlubrication systems. Similar totoday’s need for multi-grade, finely-filtered lubricants for engines - bear-ings, pins and friction points requirea modern approach to lubrication.No equipment owner would contem-plate running the engine without oil,yet many bearings and pins are oper-ated without sufficient lubrication.

Harsh conditions such as water,dirt, dust and mechanical loadscumulatively result in a high wearrate of bearings, pins and swivels.

Lubrication istherefore absolutelynecessary in order toprovide the rightprotection. Lincolnlubrication systemsare a reliable means ofregular lubrication.

While the machine is inmotion, the lubricant is automati-cally delivered in time-controlledand metered quantities to all con-nected points in the system.Lubrication ‘in motion’ ensuresthat the lubricant is optimally andevenly distributed within the bear-ing, thus reducing friction and pre-mature wear. This is the ultimateform of lubrication applied in a sys-tematic manner.

The installation of a centralizedlubrication system drasticallyreduces repair and maintenancecosts. In addition lubricant con-sumption is cut and the life span ofwear components is increased. Thisautomatically reduces downtime andoperation costs.

Nobody would ever contemplaterunning an engine without oil, yetmany bearings, pins and frictionpoints are operated without suffi-cient lubrication. The price is oftenhigh as insufficiently lubricatedpoints result in expensive repairsand replacement of parts. In addi-tion, costly downtime of valuablemachines drives the cost even high-er – especially when a breakdownoccurs when the pressure is on, forexample, shortly before a projectsign-off, in the middle of harvestingor late in the evening on a multi-shift production.

A modern approach to lubricationThe traditional method of lubri-

cation involves the manual lubrica-tion of each and every lubricationpoint with a grease gun. This isoften a tedious and time consumingprocess which may involve thegreasing of points that are difficultto access. Furthermore, it can betricky to ensure that the rightamount of lubricant is provided.

Too much lubricant notonly increases the friction

within the bearing, butalso leads to a higher lubri-

cant consumption and unnecessarilypollutes the surroundings. Too lit-tle lubricant on the other hand, canquickly result in premature wear andmachine downtime. Last, but notleast, manual lubrication does notalways provide peace-of-mind thatsome points are overlooked oromitted.

Automated centralized lubricationis a reliable means of lubrication.Lubrication systems ensure that allconnected points are supplied withthe correct metered quantity of lubri-cant in time-controlled intervals. Thelubricant is supplied to the pointsvia a pneumatic, electric or hydraulicpump through the piping networkand metering devices.

In comparison to manual lubrica-tion, automated systems eliminate a“too little” or “too much” lubricantapplication. The productivity of themachines increases, the cost ofrepairs and spare parts resulting frominsufficient lubrication are reducedand production losses are minimized.By optimally matching the lubricantneeds, consumption is reduced –which is not only cost aspect, butalso an environmental issue.

Does this mean a grease gun isobsolete?

No, not at all! Modern greaseguns that are battery operated, or forthe workshop, alternatively pneu-matically operated, provide an eco-nomical means for entry-level, cen-tralized lubrication. In the firststage, lubrication points aregrouped and supplied from a singlepoint via a progressive meteringdevice with lubricant.

Once this method has provenitself, the next stage is the installa-tion of a lubrication pump thatenables automated, centralizedlubrication.

Lincoln offers a modular systemthat enables the system to grow instages, thus facilitating the retro-fitment of a lubrication pump toautomate the lubrication process.

CHOOSING THE PROPER LUBRICANT

An important aspect is the properchoice of lubricant. In several casesthe higher viscosity of NLGI grade 2grease provides the better solution.Grease, contrary to fluid grease,builds up a grease collar around thebearing that helps prevent theingress of contamination or mois-ture. Furthermore, grease will notrun out of the bearing as easily underhigh temperatures or vibration.These characteristics of grease areespecially important for machines

operating in harsh environments.The consumption of NLGI grade

2 greases is generally less than forfluid greases. In some cases, the con-sumption of fluid grease systems isup to three times more. A lower con-sumption, and the fact that greasedoes not run out of the bearing aseasily, is an important safety andenvironmental consideration.

When selecting a lubrication sys-tem it is imperative to ensure thatthe pump can handle greases up toNLGI grade 2.

Saverglass:

MASTERING THEDEVELOPMENTPROCESS


C

Saverglass specializes in the production of premium

drinks containers, especially luxury spirits, fine wines,

other novelty drinks and decanters and, since 1997,

has also branched out into the perfume sector. The

company and its human resources, made up of

committed highly skilled personnel, are motivated by

a strong culture for innovation, thus enabling it to

response to the diverse and numerous requests from

today’s highly selective market.

Saverglass art GM 11-05-2010 15:18 Pagina 71

maintaining the desired level oftechnical and cosmetic quality,Saverglass has invested in a newgeneration of industrial equipmentwhich integrates each and every stepin the development of a productfrom its outline design rightthrough to delivery.

The company is compliant withthe requirements of ISO 9001Quality Assurance Manage-ment System and has productionfacilities, which, although large-scale, are flexible enough to meetthe demands of current markets.

Each production line can be setup independently to produce itemswith weight and size ranges from15 gr. for bottles of 7-ml capacity(miniature sample) to 5.5 kilos forlarge sizes of 6 litres (ChampagneMethuselah).

Moreover, the Feuquières site hasa storage area of almost 125,000square metres, which enables finish-ed products to be stored in closedhygienic warehouses.

DEVELOPMENTA passion for creation

Beyond the intrinsic quality ofits products, Saverglass’ aim isthat of providing a high level ofservice in the field of design, prod-uct development and industrialprocess control.

Thanks to its commercial posi-tioning in relation to internationalclients requiring premiumdecanters and bottles, Saverglasshas an efficient awareness of cre-ative trends, market segmentation,brain storming concerning newproduct concepts.

COMPANY STRUCTUREDrawing office

The company’s drawing office,equipped with six CAD work sta-tions, converts the creative and aes-thetic ideas of designers into work-able glassmaking solutions.Always attentive to clients’ expec-tations, and also anticipatingtrends, Saverglass develops about150 new items each year.

MouldwareAt Saverglass, very special

attention is given to the quality ofthe cast iron used to create themoulds, as well as to machining,control and maintenance of theglassmaking tools. The companycurrently has 3,300 differentmoulds available in stock.

Quality controlAt Saverglass, quality is a key

objective of each and every depart-ment in the company (design, man-ufacture, logistics, commercial,etc.). This obsession for quality isthe foundation of the company’ssuccess with the world’s mostdemanding and prestigious cus-tomers. In fact, Saverglass was thefirst French glassworks to obtainISO 9001 certification (Afaq andLloyd’s Register) in 1993, whichencompasses project developmentand production right through tocontrol and delivery of goods.

PRODUCTIONDecoration

The appeal of a bottle comes froma combination of its shape and itsdecorative effect. Saverglass offers awide range of processes and finishingtechniques, which are added to con-tinuously. All these combine to offerconsiderable added value, enabling ahigh degree of customization to beachieved.

Saverglass has an integratedworkshop at the Feuquières site incharge of all decoration operations:screen printing (with enamel or pre-cious metals) or tampographic print-ing; transfer applications; acid etch-ing; seals or gluing of medallions;as well as Savercoat patented coatingsystem, which involves high-perfor-mance water-based colour coatingson glass.

COMPANY HISTORYThe industrial adventure of the Feuquières Glassworks began in 1897. Events that have marked the company’s progress are numerous and varied, but all have contributed in making the company what it is today.


ing can be total or partial by apply-ing a mask to the glass before theacid etching operation.

Savercoat organic coatingSaverglass has developed a

patented application process forhigh-performance organic coatingdesigned to colour the glass and/orachieve frosted effects.

This process, which is environ-mentally-friendly due to the use ofwater-based products, offers a widespectrum of colours and appear-ances (gloss, matt, translucent,frosted, etc.).

SandblastingSandblasting gives a frosted

appearance to the glass. Accordingto the size of the sand grains, thefeel of the surface can be more or less rough. Sandblasting with masks allows medallionsand/or certain parts of the glass tostand out.

Screen printingSemi-automatic or fully-auto-

matic direct printing on the glassusing precious metals, enamelsand inks, on a vertical and/or hori-zontal plane.

Transfers/decalsTransfers are generally multi-

colour printings with enamels or pre-cious metals. A flat slide-off is print-ed with the screen printing processand applied onto the glass. The slide-off is usually applied on the glass bymeans of a silicone stamp. The trans-fer technique is an alternative processwhen direct screen printing is impos-sible due to the printing zone profileand/or when extremely precise regis-tration is required.

Tampographic printingSemi-automatic or automatic

printing using precious metals,enamels and inks onto the glassusing a silicone stamp. This processenables to decorate zones that cannotbe developed or are debossed, mak-ing screen printing impossible.

Assembling operationsAutomatic or semi-automatic

applications, gluing or assemblingof wax, metal, plastic glass seals orany other accessory that enhancesthe value of the product.

PersonalizationIn addition to the standard ver-

sion for each item, Saverglass also

offers the possibility of extendingthe ranges of capacities, colour ofglass, type of closure or personal-ization, by means of engravings.

Each range of extension or per-sonalization formula requiring thedevelopment or adaptation of tool-ings is feasible:• full mould set;• engraved blow mould;• base engraving;• cresting;• bas-relief;• adaptation or engraving.

Full mould setDevelopment of full mould sets

comprising blank and blow mouldsand finishing moulds is necessary,especially in the following cases:• additional specific size, not avail-

able within the range;• modification of some dimension-

al characteristics (height, diame-ter) or a significant modificationin the weight of the glass;

• specific finish with dimensionalspecifications that are not com-patible with existing tools.

Engraved blow mouldThis solution consists of develop-

ing a set of specific blow mouldsthat are compatible with existingstandard version blank moulds. Thisallows personalization using engrav-ing elements that can be positionedon the shoulder, body or base.

Base engravingThis solution consists in develop-

ing only base plates, or even in somecases, blank base plates too. Thisenables to put specific engravings onstandard bases or inside punts.

CrestingThis principle involves the posi-

tioning of an engraving inside ashoulder pre-dimensioned medal-lion. Thanks to an ingeniousprocess (inserts) available for winebottles, the implementation of thiscresting is highly economical withregards to development costs, also

allowing the reproduction ofengravings with very fine details.

Bas-reliefThis principle enables a circular

engraving to be positioned at thebase of the body of the container,such as estate’s name, geometricalfriezes or even figurative scenes,etc. As with the cresting formula,this technique is available for arange of dedicated wine bottles and

is also economical in terms ofdevelopment costs.

Adaptation or engravingThe technique consists in adapt-

ing a specific finish to an existingitem provided its features are com-patible with the correspondingexisting tooling. This can be a stan-dard finish, a special finish or evena personalized finish by means of acircular engraving. ■
