DEVICE AND METHOD FOR THE SIMULTANEOUS PRODUCTION OF GLASS PRODUCTS WITH VARYING MASSES

摘要

The invention relates to a device for the simultaneous production of different hollow glass products with varying gob sizes. Said device comprises at least one feeder assembly (12), which has at least one glass reservoir (14), at least one plunger (18a, 18b) and at least one corresponding cutting device (24a, 24b) in the tank outlet, at least one supply device (28) for successively transferring at least one glass gob delivered by the feeder device (12) into several moulding units (32a 32c) for various sizes of glass gob that are arranged next to one another and at least one controller (22) for controlling the plunger (18a, 18b), the cutting device (24a, 24b) of the feeder assembly (12), the supply device (28) and the moulding units (32a 32c). Said controller (22) co-ordinates the operation of the moulding units (32a 32c), the feeder assembly (12) and the supply device (28) in accordance with the processing time specific to the gob size of the products in the moulding units (32a 32c), or their clock cycle.
