WE CAN SAVE YOUR JOB

HOT RUNNER MANIFOLD CLEANING IS HERE
HOT RUNNER MANIFOLD CLEANING

The Hot Runner Manifold Cleaning System from Alliance is the fastest, most cost saving and environmentally friendly method of removing practically all organic contaminants such as plastic, rubber or paint from steel parts.

At Alliance we have taken mold maintenance to a new level with the addition of our Mold Manifold and Hot Runner Cleaning System. With this operation, parts are loaded into a tank where fluidized hot sand at a temperature of 800 to 850 degrees Fahrenheit, scrubs, vaporizes, and burns off all left over organic material without damaging or warping the work pieces. The basket of cleaned parts is then hoisted out of the tank and set to cool. Now we are truly able to inspect and evaluate your jobs specific situation then dissect and address the issues necessary.

Currently we are running three fluidized large bed ovens, allowing us to inspect, clean, and maintain the most complex hot runner and manifold systems. Those systems are fully prepared with a DME controller to test heaters and thermocouples if and when damage is detected. We are also able to repair any and all thermocouples as needed and replace any damaged parts. By utilizing our fluidized oven we are able to remove plastic and contaminants from the system resulting in less down time, greater efficiency in the molding process and a boost to your bottom line.  Now more than ever before, we are the only complete in-house, full service, mold maintenance professionals.

THE CLEANING PROCESS
The main part of the system is an insulated reactor containing sand particles. The sand is brought to a bubbling, fluidized state by Injecting air from the bottom. The reactor is directly heated using a flame shield at the bed surface in order to achieve the extreme temperature.

Not turbulent enough to be abrasive to the parts, the sand gently rubs the surface leaving the metal completely contaminant free and undamaged. The fluidized sand ensures that the parts are subjected to an even temperature profile to avoid distortion of any kind.

The old plastic is thermally degraded within the sand bed and toxic gases are then oxidized at the bed surface using the flame shield. Inorganic particles are abraded by the sand particles and blown out of the sand bed and captured in a filter system.
