 Applied ceramic labelling


 Name engraving can be done while preparing the mould for the press
and blow process
 Press blow process = It uses an individual section (IS) machine, which is separated
into varying sections to produce several containers of the same size simultaneously. The
molten glass is cut with a shearing blade into a specific gob size. The gob falls into the
machine by force of gravity. A metal plunger is used to push the gob down into the mold,
where it starts to take shape and become a parison. The parison is then transferred into
the blow mold and reheated so that the parison is soft enough to finish off the
dimensions of the glass. Once the parison is reheated to blowing temperature, air is
injected to blow the container into shape. Press and blow methods are typically used for
manufacturing wide-mouth bottles and jars as their size allows the plunger into the
parison.
