Just before entering Christmas and New Year Holiday Season, curiously the final onsite assignment of 2023 was in Portugal!
Empakglass IS Team led by Yordan Kamenov and Yordan Paskulov, from our Bulgarian Branch was invited by Verallia Portugal to perform an IS training, having as background the beautiful city of Figueira da Foz.
We were really surprised by the level of participation with nearly 70 attendees and for the first time ever, we had to translate a training into Portuguese!
Starting from the glass and its properties, then glass conditioning, proper gob loading and IS timing combined with a good mould design and mould maintenance, several simulations were demonstrated in BB, WMPB and NNPB.
Also, we had the possibility to use a training monossection and practiced several movements setups combining with swabbing techniques. Combining this with defect analysis, is definitely the way to improve efficiencies.
Our deep thanks to the participants which provided a huge level of passion and interest onto the subjects, something that truly makes IS Production such an important aspect on the Supply Chain of Container Glass Industry.
And also for having invited Empak Team to Verallia's Christmas Dinner! Was an Honour!
In the end, we had the chance to pass by Nazaré, to spot some big waves. Wasn't the best of the season, but already some quite respectful size waves!
We leave here a video with a few glimpses of some waves you may find there.
From ourside, we are looking forward to be challenged and continue to help finding solutions!
See you next time!
Sincerely,
All Empakglass Team!

Empak held in Novi Prazar, Bulgaria a Glass Conditioning, Batch & Furnaces training with New Glass SA.
New glass EAD is a part of the Greek group Hellenic glass industry and dedicates to the production of Tableware.
Starting with the building blocks of batch formulation, corresponding glass properties and interlinking it with production setting, by using Empak's Batch & Furnace Simulator (PAKTOOLS) several operational simulations were performed including color changes analysis.
It was very exciting to see a combination of skilled technical staff in partnership with a new generation eager to learn from the basics of glass making until the new technological approaches.
It was also extremely important to be able to look into more detail onto the Press Machines, H28 machines with Stretching for StemWare which is something we don't look often in Glass Container production, but it does provide a huge amount of transferable ideas in between these two branches of glass making!
As a final note, and although Empak is mostly known for working in IS machines, we do have also the set of skills on tableware production!
So, please challenge us also on that!
Finally and as part of Empak's tradition, we try as much as possible to visit local historical and emblematic locations. This time was no exception! For a foreigner as myself, the best possible description of the Founders of the Bulgarian State Monument is like visiting Cybertron. For a Fan of Transformers was an absolutely delightful experience!
See you next time!
Sincerely,
All Empakglass Team!

Empak held in Lisbon, Portugal, a dedicated Product Development training for Zignago Vetro.
Zignago Vetro produces a wide range of container glass, from Blow and Blow process, to Wide mouth and some NNPB, as well as cosmetic and perfumery items.
It has glass plants located in Italy, France and Poland and even their own Company for Mould Making.
As part of our tradition in these trainings, we invite the attendees to bring real case scenarios to challenge Empak's PAKForming Simulator and this time was no exception.
Concepts like glass properties, IS timing and even the impact of glass conditioning, gob temperature and delivery system in order to develop the building blocks for a successful mould design were widely discussed.
Our deep thanks to Zignago and their continuos interested in attending our Product Development and Mould Design Trainings, year after year!
It was very exciting to see a new generation of Product Developers in Container Glass Industry, with ages below 30 with quite an enthusiam and already a quite good set of skills!
Sincerely,
All Empakglass Team!
