Our new Hot Runner Manifold Cleaning System 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 thermalcouples if and when damage is detected. We are also able to repair any and all thermocouples as needed and replace any damaged parts.
