Die cleaning
PCA has been specializing for several years in technology for cleaning dies used in aluminium extrusion. Our solutions are custom designed with a focus on safe and ergonomic use. The operators never come into contact with the caustic soda and the toxic fumes are extracted before entering the room. PCA's cleaning system cleans extrusion dies efficiently and safely.
Method
- An operator or robot puts the dies in an empty process tank.
- The dies are rinsed in the process tank with a heated NaOH solution.
- The dies are rinsed with water in the same process tank.
- The bath is drained and the operator or robot can remove the dies from the tank.
Benefits
- SAFE: The operators never come into contact with the caustic soda.
- ERGONOMIC: thanks to the underpressure in the tanks and the high fresh air flow rate, no unpleasant vapours are released into the room.
- EFFICIENCY: thanks to PCA's engineering, this process is much faster and more efficient. The time savings can be up to 50% compared to conventional treatments.
- TURNKEY CONCEPT: turnkey solutions from A to Z. We can also extend the extraction with gas scrubbers, drift separators or other systems in collaboration with our air pollution control department.
- FLEXIBLE: the system is flexible and therefore suitable for all dies, regardless of shape or size.
- CUSTOM MADE: the dimensions and shape of the installation are determined in function of the number of dies and the available space for the installation.
- ATEX-CONFORM: the installations can be built according to the ATEX safety measures.
