DuPont? Vespel?-Glass Handling Technology

INNOVATION FOR THE GLASS INDUSTRY

DuPont? Vespel? For glass container plant engineers, Glass Handling Technology represents an excellent choice for hot glass handling components. DuPont? Vespel? increases plant reliability and lowers operation costs by delivering extended life and less glass checking compared with conventional glass handling technology. The unique properties of DuPont? Vespel? glass handling components exhibit lower thermal conductivity and oil absorption, and higher impact and wear resistance than conventional carbon graphite parts. The proprietary material science of DuPont coupled with expert technical support and service represent a comprehensive solution for hot glass handling applications.

Material Science

Low Thermal Conductivity

DuPont? Vespel? SP-22 and SCP-5050 components have approximately 50 to100 times lower heat transfer coefficient versus traditional carbon graphite components which can minimize or eliminate checks and micro-cracks in the glass containers. This lowers rejects and increases productivity.

High Impact Resistance

After aging for 100 hours at 600°F (315°C), DuPont? Vespel? SP-22 and SCP-5050 components exhibit 70 to 100% higher impact resistance than carbon graphite parts. This leads to reduced breakage of components in fabrication, handling and operation which extends the life of contact parts, increase process reliability and lowers operation costs.

Reduced Oil Absorption

In 24 hour immersion tests DuPont? glass-grade components were found to absorb 30 times less oil than carbon graphite parts to no oil absorption whatsoever. This may lead to reduced checking and increased yield to reduce operating costs.

Less Wear for Longer Life

Test results show three times less wear versus carbon graphite at 600°F (315°C) in oscillatory conditions. In addition, glass container plants have reported Vespel? SCP-5050 components to have a 2 to11 times longer life over carbon graphite take-out inserts. This translates into significantly longer life of consumables to increase production efficiency.

Technical Support

DuPont? Vespel? has over 40 years of providing material science solutions for the most demanding high temperature and wear applications. Our team of expert engineers offers individual technical support to optimize the material selection and design.

Products and Applications

DuPont? Vespel? Glass Handling Technology consists of two material offerings: Vespel? SP-22 and Vespel? SCP-5050 which are available in custom f inished parts, semi-finished blanks and plaque.

DuPont? Vespel SP-22

components are an excellent option for short and medium runs at low/medium speeds that require more specialized handling to minimize defects. This product has been used for more than 20 years by plants around the world in glass container production with excellent results.

DuPont? Vespel? SCP-5050

components, a new product innovation, are the optimal choice for either long runs at high speeds or heavier containers that require maximum life of contact parts with minimum operation disruption.

Design Recommendations

DuPont? Vespel? components can be machined with regular tools used to machine carbon graphite and metal. (for the Vespel? machining guide please go to www.vespel.com).
