The development of China glass container machinery

For more than 40 years, China glass machinery industry has become more mature, developing from an industry basing on introduction of equipment and technologies in early times into the one that produces conventional equipment and provides basic equipment. However, in the process, it has been facing with the challenge of improving productivity and world-class quality.

With the rapid development of China economy and the improving of people's livelihood, people have more demand for industrial and civil glass and require higher quality standard. China, as a country rich in glass mineral resources and with high technical level of labor force, has a huge market for exporting glass products.

The development of glass container machinery mainly includes the following aspects:

1. Pressing equipment can improve the accuracy of machinery positioning, and be featured of good stability and low failure rate. It can be improved to a press of double or triple gobs.

2. Press-and-blow molding process is a key to manufacture high-precision containers, and the seamless rotary press-and-blow machine is to be broken through.

3. Centrifugal shaping is an important technology for reducing the use of glass materials and the cost of mould. The multiple-stage and automatic centrifugal shaper is hot in market.

4. Determinant bottle making machine is also developed to be high-precision and high-output.

5. A key technology for improving the surface quality of glass products is the flame polishing. So, how to improve the precision of polishing machine and the degree of automation in mass production? It is to be solved.

6. Glass technologies are more and more automatically and rapidly transmitted to meet various demands.
