InVertiFlow — Improved and Blank Mold Cooling
April 30th, 2007May / June 2007 — The benefits of the VertiFlow blank mold cooling system, as introduced in 1988, have been well accepted throughout the glass industry. This system uses plenum chambers on top of the blank molds, passing cooling air through vertical holes to the bottom of the blank molds.
With the new InVertiFlow blank mold cooling system the airflow has been “inverted”, passing the air from plenum chambers at the bottom - or lower end - to the top of the blank molds. This new cooling system offers numerous features and benefits.
