Glass Treatments Quality Problems

Typically between the hot and cold treatment the one which suffer the most from quality problems is the second because its application happens in a far less controlled environment and furthermore involves a greater number of bottles per time.

DROP IN SCRATCH RESISTANCE

CAUSES:          – Dirty spraying guns
                          – Too high dilution
                          – Wrong guns orientation

SOLUTIONS:   – Increase hot deposition and homogeneity
                          – Increase the temperature of application
                          – Increase the concentration

Labelling Problems on glass bottles

LABELLING ISSUES

CAUSES:          – Humidity in the plant
                          – Incompatible glue
                          – Application speed

SOLUTIONS:   – Surface tension should be >= 38 DYN
                          – More homogeneous deposition
                          – Increase the concentration  

BACTERIA PROLIFERATION IN THE FILTERS

CAUSES:          – Non filtered tap water
                          – Non scheduled cleaning 
                          – Material been uncorrectly stored

SOLUTIONS:   – Clean pipes with alchool
                          – Use Polyglas D4218 M with double sterilizer
