Deadplate

Using deadplate assemblies is essential when facing issues with bottom checks and cracks. They will help eliminate glass-to-metal contact in this area because of the low thermal conductivity of the used material.

ProtaTherm® offers bespoke solutions in design and material options to fit your machines matching verti-flow patterns to maintain air cooling. The graphite type is chosen to the production circumstances and containers being produced.

Looking at the different influences such as size, weight, speed, contact-time, ...
