Hybrid 1000 Series Electronic Feeder Mechanism with 50 series spout

The hybrid of the 1000 series electronic feeder with a 50 series standard depth spout gives a greater degree of flexibility in meeting customer requirements.

The 1000 series feeder, using precision servo systems, with the latest generation of ballscrews and specially designed arcial shears, combined with the small 50 series spouts allows the full range of 50 series production to be produced.

Alternating Gob Delivery System

Specially designed assembly to meet a customer need where a 50 Feeder
was to deliver gobs alternately to two presses mounted in the basement.
Using commercially available Gob Distributors and Scoops plus BH-F
designed Water Cooled Drop Tube and support system
a unique solution was provided.

50 Feeder Alternative Plunger Bearing Location

When electrical heating is required on a 50 Feeder it becomes necessary
to raise the plunger beam location to accommodate the element blocks.
With this new arrangement higher loads are transmitted
to the upper bearings. To reduce the wear and increase the life
expectancy a conversion kit has been designed including a new bracket
with re-circulating ball bearings and a longer linkage.

RH 900 Series Feeder with LH Shear Mechanism

When a 900 Series Feeder was re-located by a customer from a:
90 Deg. Left Shear Angle to a 77 ^o. Right Shear Angle position
a new 900 Series Left Hand Feeder unique to BH-F was contemplated.
Wishing to maximise as much of the existing equipment as possible
we engineered a new arrangement using a LH Shear Mechanism
and Outboard Bearing saving the customer an unnecessary capital cost.

Direct Drop Feeder

To accommodate a Direct Drop into a Press special measures are required.
We have in the past removed part of the spout casing in order to
position the press head in the desired location.
The new ESG FEEDER spout casing has been designed specially to
accommodate this feature in the future.

Reduced Factory Floor Space

At BH-F we engineer our equipment to suit individual needs when appropriate.
In the past we have re-designed combustion and cooling systems positioning
the fans above the forehearth when traditionally they would be located
underneath but site conditions did not allow this.

Triple Blender System

Specially designed arrangement to meet customer requirements.
Three blenders individually driven at variable speed in either
direction with the capability of varying the height in the glass
and to be totally removable.
