Gob Forming
Shaping the Flow, Protecting the Form
Engineered solutions for clean gob delivery and precise deflection.
In gob forming, consistency is everything. At Dura Temp, we supply gob funnels (also called gob tubes) and deflector plates crafted from high-temperature materials designed to withstand thermal cycling, erosion, and repetitive impact. Whether you're guiding gobs into molds or managing rejects, our components help improve gob quality and protect downstream equipment.
.
Our parts are precision-made for optimal gob flow and reduced sticking—keeping your process clean, controlled, and consistent.
Gob Funnels
Our gob funnels guide the gob through the feeder system and toward the mold with minimal turbulence and sticking. These parts are made to exacting customer specifications and are available:
-
Fully machined or as blank stock for end-user machining
-
With tailored profiles, finishes, and wall thicknesses
-
From thermally stable, erosion-resistant materials for long-term performance
Use Case: Ideal for ensuring clean gob flow and minimizing particulate contamination or drag during delivery.
Deflector Plates
Also known as gob interceptors or rejector plates, these components are used to direct or deflect the gob during forming operations or when rejecting malformed gobs. Our deflector plates offer:
-
Smooth, wear-resistant surfaces to reduce sticking
-
Optional cooling hole machining for thermal management
-
Compatibility with high-speed operations and harsh environments
-
Precision flatness and fit for easy installation
Use Case: Improve gob control and reduce fouling on cullet chutes or transfer zones.
