- Description
- Advantages
- Recommendations for use
Ring Dope E is a petroleum-oil based swabbing compound containing graphite, sulfur and proprietary additives. It is specially designed to lubricate rings without causing defects.
Ring Dope E is recommended for all types of ware and forming processes including B/B, P/B, and NNPB. As I.S. machines today become larger and faster, using a Ring Dope to lubricate rings is becoming more important. As it is more difficult to properly lubricate in this area, using the right product can help to improve forming efficiency and performance.

SWAB PREPARATION
Presoak swabs in mineral oil
Presoak enough swabs for 1 shift
Presoaking the swabs in mineral oil enables the graphite in Ring Dope E to easily penetrate into the swab. This improvesthe efficiency of swabbing.
USE 2 SWABS PER MACHINE FOR THE BLANKS
Swab each half of the blank side ofthe machine with a different swab.
Provides a more uniform, even distribution of product.Using only one swab usually results in some sections receiving too much dope and others too little.
LOAD SWAB IMMEDIATELY AFTER LUBRICATING CYCLE
Reload swab directly after swabbing while the swab is still hot
A hot swab makes it easier for Ring Dope E to efficiently penetrate into the center of the swab.
ALWAYS HANG SWABS UP AFTER USE
This practice avoids swab laying in the dope tray and getting saturatedwith oil.
Helps keep swabs properlyloaded with lubricant.
SWAB WITH A FAIRLY WET SWAB
Improves chance of lubricant getting into the ring
Lubricate the top of the ring to help reduce metal-to-metal friction as the blank opens over the ring
This is possible with a ring dope because the product is light and contains less graphite than a typical blank swabbing compound.
SWAB FROM THE BLANK SIDE OF THE MACHINE
Reduces possibility of contamination inside bottle.
SWABBING THE RINGS
It isdifficultto generalize more than above. Swabbing rings is very difficult. As machines get faster and bigger, getting the lubricant onto therings is a challenge best left to the skill of the swabber.
