Inside Bake Ovens(IBO) are used in the beverage container industry. Aluminum cans are coated inside for sanitation purposes and to prevent aluminum taste in the beverage. Typically the cans are spray coated and transferred to a flat belt conveyor. This conveyor transfers the cans to the belt going through the oven.... A very precisely engineered air delivery system is used to apply heated process air to the can pack as it goes through the oven. The air must be sufficient enough to plunge into the can and reach the depth of the coating and yet be gentle enough to not tip the very light aluminum can.

... flash is a by-product of extrusion blow molding and it must be provided for in the design of the mold cavity tooling. Where the flash will exit from the cavity, clearance or a flash pocket is created. The depth of this flash pocket is critical, particularly with large-diameter, thin-walled parisons. If too deep, the flash will not be adequately cooled and this may cause trimming problems. If too shallow, the flash will hold open the mold, creating a thick pinch-off that may also cause trimming problems. Dividing the cavity from the flash pocket is the pinch-off. 1, record 14, English, - flash%20pocket

A calibrated device developed by Parshall for measuring the flow of liquid in an open conduit. It consists essentially of a contracting length, a throat, and an expanding length. At the throat is a sill over which the flow passes at Belanger's critical depth. The upper and lower heads are each measured at a definite distance from the sill. 4, record 15, English, - Parshall%20flume
