Manufacturer of release agents, special coatings and cleaning agents Acmos is confident that its innovative new patching product will revolutionise the delivery coating market.

Developed to patch-repair worn delivery parts, which typically would need to be removed and recoated – an expensive and time-consuming operation, Acmos 43-5004 is a water-based coating that can be applied directly to areas where the chute coating has become worn by glass gobs without removing them from the production to maximise gob delivery performance.

One application every four hours is recommended to extend the lifetime of a delivery system that has been compromised by worn areas.

Using Acmos 43-5004, loading marks, washboards etc. can be reduced to a minimum and the speed of the gob can be improved to the original level without having a negative impact on the geometry of the delivery. There is also no cooling down of the blanks due to the rejected glass gob.

Acmos maintains that there is currently no other solution that offers the ability to repair the coating of a delivery system during production.
