Reading Time: < 1 minutesCustomer
A large manufacturer (established in the 1960s) of small complex brass components.
Problem
- The customer is manufacturing delicate brass components with blind holes in mass production.
- 15 lakh components are produced on a daily basis.
- Due to the sheer volumes being produced, it is impossible to have any manual cleaning technique for the components.
- Batch type parts cleaning systems are not economical.
- Traditional conveyorized systems are ineffective as blind holes are not cleaned properly in these systems.
Ralsonics’ Solution
- Ralsonics designed a screw conveyorized industrial cleaning equipment with separate drums for each cleaning stage.
- Components were placed in continuous rotating motion wherein they were dipped, filled and emptied with the cleaning solution multiple times in each stage.
- This ensured complete penetration of cleaning solution in the blind holes
- 6 stage industrial machine, fully automated with drying unit included
- Components are loaded in the loading drum and fully cleaned and dried components are unloaded from the unloading drum
Results
- Near-zero rejection rate
- Lakhs of components cleaned per shift with zero manual intervention
- 11 such equipment purchased by the customer for the entire plant
