[Surface Treatment Case] Reduced line downtime by preventing sticking of rubber products!

Reduced maintenance work with an anti-adhesion coating inside the vacuum nozzle. Prevents nozzle clogging and improves productivity!

■Concern In the process of removing burrs generated when molding rubber products by sucking them in with a vacuum nozzle, there is a stickiness due to the freshly molded products, which causes them to adhere to the inner diameter of the nozzle. Each time the nozzle gets clogged, it is necessary to stop the line and clean it, which decreases work efficiency and productivity. ■Background of the Request Initially, we tested fluororesin coating, but during the testing phase, we observed some adhesion on the surface. After repeating the tests several times, we found that the adhesion worsened progressively. 【Issues to be Resolved】 - Reduction of cleaning time - Improvement of productivity - Cost reduction ■Adopted Coating 'MRS-102' ■Effects of Adoption We proposed the 'MRS coating,' which has effects comparable to the release agents used in rubber molding. In tests, there was no adhesion, and we began prototype testing with actual nozzles. By coating the inner diameter, adhesion of burrs to the inner surface of the nozzle was eliminated, resulting in no downtime for removal work and successfully improving production efficiency. *For more details on the coating, please download the PDF or contact us.
