Mold manufacturers are selling equipment used for actual maintenance! Rentals available too! First cleaning demonstration is free! Campaign for free cleaning solution is ongoing!
To achieve efficient production, it is necessary to maintain a constant temperature for the mold. When a mold is newly created, it can be produced at a consistent cycle time, but if maintenance of the cooling circuit is neglected, it will gradually become less effective at cooling, leading to shrinkage and deformation in the products. This will result in a slight extension of the cycle time, and a 10% extension will directly translate to a 10% decrease in production efficiency. Therefore, we recommend our waterway cleaning machine, "Aratta-kun"! Aratta-kun is a device that allows for the maintenance of the important cooling circuit in molds with minimal effort! Our company not only sells the equipment but also offers rentals. Additionally, we can provide on-site cleaning or take in molds for cleaning according to your needs! We will make proposals based on your budget and the maintenance period available.

basic information
- Compact & Lightweight The cleaning operations are often located next to molding machines or in a corner of the factory. Molding factories are typically filled with equipment at a high density to enhance spatial efficiency, so it is not uncommon to find areas with no maintenance space at all. Therefore, we designed it to be portable for narrow spaces and to allow for space-saving operations. - Pulsation Since small parts are often used in molds, the diameter of the circuits tends to be narrow, making it impossible to supply at high pressure. By sending the cleaning solution in a pulsating manner, effective pressure is applied to the blockage while simultaneously making it easier for cavitation to occur, which helps to detach foreign substances adhered to the walls of the waterway. - Reversal Generally, during production, water flows in only one direction, causing deposits to accumulate in shadows and eddies against the flow. Therefore, by periodically reversing the flow of the cleaning solution, these deposits can be effectively removed. If the circuit is completely blocked, cleaning is not possible, but if there is a slight flow, alternating the flow from both ends can allow for relatively quick penetration.

Applications/Examples of results
The results of the cleaning will manifest as an improvement in cooling performance. The improvement in cooling performance leads to a reduction in the molding cycle time. Target objects: Plastic molds, aluminum die-casting molds, and others with water-cooling circuits. Cooling circuits of molding machines, especially under the hopper, which tend to get clogged. Water-cooling circuits of compressors, which often cannot exchange heat due to calcium buildup. If the temperature control unit's circuit is also water-cooled, it can be treated in the same way as molds and molding machines. However, since the capacity is often large, it is advisable to carry out the process in as small an area as possible to avoid generating a large amount of waste all at once.
Detailed information
-
The cooling circuit of the mold was captured using an endoscope camera. It is evident that deposits are sticking and obstructing the flow of cooling water. If this continues, the cooling will gradually worsen, and there is a risk of shrinkage or deformation occurring in the molded products...
-
Rust in the piping can affect mold components as transferred rust. This photo shows a crack that occurred from a corroded area due to transferred rust. Mold components that have lost some strength due to rust, like this, can break under molding pressure, so caution is necessary.
