Washing machine stainless steel drum manufacturing line
A production line for stainless steel drums (baskets) of horizontal washing machines.
From coil material, holes are punched through press processing, and then formed into a cylindrical shape using liner seaming (folding and riveting). The rotating shaft, bottom cover, body plate, and top cover are assembled through seaming (riveting). Customer's Request When manufacturing stainless steel drums for washing machines, we want to simplify the welding method and finishing processes, reduce the number of parts, and enhance quality by reducing production costs and simplifying work processes. Reason for Choosing Enami Seiki By integrating the lifter, which was previously a plastic part, with the body plate, we can reduce the number of parts. The company is well-known for its riveting technology. Development Goal As an alternative to welding methods, we aim to utilize our expertise in riveting technology for component joining, with the goal of developing a fully automated production line to significantly simplify work processes and stabilize quality. Result (Customer Feedback) By using riveting for the joining of stainless steel drums, we were able to greatly simplify the processes that were previously done by welding, thereby reducing finishing work hours.
