If a glass conzainer fails decause of a manufacturing defect, the reputation of Duraglas suffers, resulting in possible loss of this particule> customer's faith and future business. Duraglas selectors are required to thoroughly inspect each and every glass container, Only in this way can Ovens~I1iinois maintain the uniform quality of Duraglas and supply the customer with 2 dependable container in which to pack and display his product. ‘The first question that probably enters the mind, then, is what are these defects, and how can they be recognized? ‘There are imperfections or flaws which sonetimes appear in a glass container.

To help you do this, pictures and the definitions of the most common defects are shown on the following pages. Also, the possible causes of these defects are listed under machine setup; equipment; feeder and operation cause. These will help you spot the trouble and correct ity CAUTION! Before you try to correct a defect, you should always keep in mind the following points: 1. How nany cf this defect are you losing? 2. If corrected, what other defects might appear by your adjustment? 3. Be sure ycu will make a better bottle after you make the adjustment. For example, if you were running a few splits, you would not change the settle blow pressure or timing to correct it, if you know the adjustment would cause you to lese more ware from another defect that would appear. 10-16-56 - irp ALL PLANT EXHIBIT NO, 520 Project Manual L0-69h Page to, 6 DEFECT DEFINITIONS AND CORRECTIONS INDEX _OF MANUFACTURING DEFECTS Page Now Correct at Once 1 Freaks 8 Split Finish 9 Choked Wecks 20 Checked Base n Light or Thin Ware ie Stuck Glass 13 Checked Finish uy Corkage Checks 15 Bulged Finish 16 Unfilled Finish 7 Overpress on Finish 16 Out of Round Finish 19 Dirty Finish 20 Offset Finish aL Neck Ring Seams 22 Tears on Neck 23 Bent Neck 2h Checked Shoulder 25 Down Shoulders 2% Out of Shape or Leener 27 Pressure or Hot Checks 26 Gold Checks and Letr Sroken 29 Uneven Distribution 30 Sunken Sides 31 Bulged Sides 32 Stuck Ware 33 Cold Molds 3k Large Nold Seans 35 Large Blank Seams 36 Lap Lines 37 Body Harks 38 Plunger Marks 39 Drag Marks ho Shear Marks ay Dope or Black Spots he Blisters 43 Vashboards dh Checked Bottom up Slug Botton 6 Light Botton ur Heavy Bottom ua Rocker Bottom ug Flanged Botton 50 Swung Baffle 5 10/16/56 = irp PLANT a Project Manual Lo-694 Page lo. 7 DEFECT DEFINITIONS AND CORRECTIONS CORREC NCE SPLIT FNSH [___CHOKED NECKS) CHECKED BASE LIGHT WARE LOOSE OR STUCK GLASS FREAKS A commercially good bottle is a bottle that will go through the custoner's line and carry his product to the consumers Moet of our ware is packed according to limit samples but sone of it may have defects requiring imuediate correction.
