Orifice Ring Metal Inserts
Redfoot supplies metal orifice ring inserts to the container glass industry that significantly prolongs orifice ring life.
The metal inserts are manufactured out of a high temperature metal alloy as a two piece part that screws unto an orifice ring before installation unto the fore hearth. Advantages of using Redfoot metal orifice ring inserts are:
- Orifice ring life of 4 - 6 months
- Less stoppages during extended production runs
- Less adjustment of rotating tube height resulting in stability of gob weight during the production run
- Orifice ring inserts fits unto existing feeder expendables
- Used on single, double triple and quad gob configurations
Standard sizes
Inserts with longer internal bodies can also be manufactured to accommodate different orifice ring thicknesses.
