Glass Mould Components
Erie Bronze specializes in bronze glass mould components such as:
- Neck Rings
- Bottle Moulds
- Bottom Plates
- Baffles
- Take Outs
These components are cast using proprietary Eballoy non-ferrous alloys designed to improve wear and corrosion resistance while offering glass-makers thermal conductivity ranging from 18 to 37 (Btu/sq. ft./ft/hr/°ft) at 850°F.
For more information on Eballoy or any of our alloys, visit Glass Mold Alloys.
Neck Rings
Neck Rings are supplied in an as cast or semi-machined condition with the mating faces and ends milled, and one or more of the bands turned. Although typically held much tighter, our in-house machine shop works to a “half on half” tolerance of .002" (.05mm) and “shake” is held within .002” (.05mm). Other bronze castings are offered in the "as cast" condition within typical sand casting dimensional tolerances. Upon request, Erie Bronze also offers our high quality neck rings with a nickel insert. The insert is available in Rockwell C hardness ranging from 30 to 44.
Erie Bronze also offers our high quality neck rings with a nickel insert for increased life in the finish area of the ring.
Bottom Plates:
Excellent moulding alloy with 15% nickel providing superior wear and corrosion resistance for neck rings and bottom plates.
Eballoy 700®
Bottle Moulds:
Time tested standard for bronze bottle moulds where the operating environment consists of severe wear conditions at elevated temperatures.
Eballoy 690®
