HOT GLASS WARE HANDLING PRODUCTSPYROCAST REFRACTORY SHAPESPyrocast expendable refractories provideglass manufacturers with over 30years of proven performance. Theprecast expendables are availablein a variety of shapes, sizes andcompositions, including aluminasilicaand alumina-zirconia-silica.In-stock moulds help minimise costsand ensure timely delivery.PUTSCH SHEAR BLADESPutsch ® shear blades, available fromPyrotek, are made of high quality, heatresistant steel. Stringent quality controlsare applied to every blade produced.The shear blades in each packaged unitare sorted by height with a tolerance of± 0.1 mm.LOADING FUNNELSPyrotek offers standard and custom machined loadingfunnels in graphite materials. Pyrotek loadingfunnels offer durability and performance.Burner BlockPlungerTubeCover BlockSpoutOrifice RingCover BlockBurner BlockBurner BlockINSULATING CASTABLE: WOLLITE 30ST-1 / PYROCAST 450Wollite 30ST-1 and Pyrocast 450 are pourable, lightweight foam insulation materials thatexpand and solidify within minutes. Insulated spouts last longer and can operate at lowertemperatures. Better insulation means less firing in the feeder channel, keeping the spouttemperature consistent and reducing energy costs. It’s also easy, quick and safe to install andremove, resulting in shorter downtimes between spout change-outs.TUBE RACESProviding leading technology to the container glass industry, Pyroteksupplies tube races outfitted with special grade carbon inserts. Moreefficient and longer lasting than traditional bearing designs, theseinserts have an average life of 2–3 years, with some lasting 4 yearsor longer. Carbon inserts wear more evenly than traditional bearings,offering better gob weight control.Pyrotek will re-machine used steel bearing races to accept carboninserts. Once outfitted, one needs to only replace the inserts in lieuof the entire assembly, offering significant cost savings.WAREGUIDESPyrotek customfabricates wareguidesfrom a variety of glasscontact materials, optimisedfor long-lasting, non-checkingsurfaces. These materials includeDuPont Vespel ® , dense graphite, P-25Wcarbon /2carbon and fibreglass-reinforcedresin.TRANSFER WHEEL PRODUCTSPyrotek manufactures glass ware handling componentsto fit all major OEM transfer wheels; Bottero, Emhart ® ,Heye, Owens-Illinois, Sheppee and Pennekamp.Transfer wheel components and glass contactmaterials outperform other products offered to theglass container industry.
