Thanks to the analysis of results, the ideal parameters were defined for the application of the coating using HVOF (High Velocity Oxy Fuel) technology, with considerable advantages including:
- increased swabbing interval;
- improvement gob loading;
- drastic reduction of mould wearing in the glass contact area;
- longer life of the moulds;
- unnecessary increases in glass weight;
- reduction of glass functional defects;
- better aesthetics of glass containers;
- reduced mould maintenance;
- less environmental pollution.
