schedule27th Sep 24

Maintaining the performance and longevity of molds is crucial for ensuring smooth manufacturing operations and consistent product quality. Over time, molds can accumulate residues like oils and carbon deposits, leading to defects and costly downtime. The BR-800 MOLD Ultrasonic Cleaner offers an advanced solution that helps companies improve maintenance processes, extending mold lifespan while boosting productivity.

Project Overview

A client needed an effective method for cleaning large, heavy steel molds used in plastic injection manufacturing. Conventional cleaning methods couldn’t reach intricate mold areas, while manual cleaning was labor-intensive. Due to the mold size, the client requested a customized loading rack and opted to use their existing crane instead of installing an elevator. Additionally, only one operator would oversee the process.

Ultrasonic Cleaning Solution

Acton Finishing recommended the BR-800 MOLD Ultrasonic Cleaner, a three-stage system involving ultrasonic cleaning, rinsing, and drying with anti-corrosion protection. The process is managed through a digital touch screen interface, offering easy control for the operator. This solution met the client’s needs by improving mold cleanliness, reducing downtime, and enhancing production quality. The investment was recouped within just a few months.
