BR-800 Mold cleaner
The client needed to clean steel moulds for plastic injection. In addition, they could only assign one operator to supervise the process. As the moulds were heavy and large, the client requested customised measurements for the loading grid and ruled out installing a lift, as they had their own overhead crane.
Mold cleaning requires superior finishes to minimize product rejection. The challenge was therefore to design an efficient solution that would offer maximum power with minimum energy consumption. We also performed laboratory tests on the original mold so that the client could verify the effectiveness of our chemical solution.
A customised three-stage system was chosen: ultrasound + rinsing + anti-corrosion protective drying. A digitally controlled solution with a touch screen that met the requirements, enabled production quality to be increased and improved and which the client paid for itself in just a few months.
Most mould cleaning equipment is custom-made, because its design depends on several factors: customer production times, size and material of the parts to be treated, available plant space… The same problem may require a custom solution, which is why we specialise in the design, manufacture and turnkey installation of custom projects.

Phase 1: Ultrasonic cleaning
This first bath removes the remains of plastic from the entire surface of the mould, which in this case is made of steel. The ultrasound waves hit the water in the tank and cause a microscopic hammering that removes the dirt adhering to the surface and cavities of the piece.
To speed up the process, the machine heats the water to a temperature between 65 and 80ºC. In addition, to increase effectiveness, a specific Brio alkaline detergent is provided for the application. Cleaning steel moulds with ultrasound.
Phase 2: Rinse - Clean steel molds
This process eliminates detergent residue by rinsing, with a built-in bubbling system that facilitates the complete removal of the chemical. In addition, the tank incorporates a filtering system that eliminates soap residue deposited in the bath.


Phase 3: Drying the parts to protect against corrosion
This process displaces any particles that may remain in the mold, also providing it with a thin film of protection against corrosion. To clean steel moulds, the drying phase is important.
