TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A GLASSWARE MACHINE

摘要

A temperature control system (10) for maintaining the temperatures of a plunger (14) operated by a pressing cylinder (18) and a mold (16) located on a plarform (20) of a glassware machine (12). The system includes a controller (C) communicating with plunger and mold thermal sensors (22 and 26) via lines (24 and 28) for sensing the plunger and mold temperatures. The system further includes a supply (S) of fluid communicating with the plunger and the mold via lines (38 and 42). A shut-off valve (34) is placed in line (32) and a regulation valve (30) including plunger valve (36) and a mold valve (40) communicates with the controller via line (44) to regulate the flow of fluid from the supply of fluid to the plunger and the mold.
