How to Achieve Efficient Maintenance of 6,000-15,000 Ton Large Die-Casting Molds

With the gradual increase in sales of new energy vehicles, against the background of automotive light weighting, large structural parts have become an inevitable direction for future automotive transformation, thus spurring demand for large-tonnage die-casting. Guangzhou Daochen has focused on die-casting temperature control for more than a decade and accumulated rich experience. As the specifications of large-tonnage die-casting machines continue to increase, mold maintenance work has become more cumbersome.

Mold maintenance is a common challenge for managers of various enterprises. At present, most enterprises still rely on manual operations, but labor shortages, low efficiency, and lack of maintenance data records have become major difficulties for managers, which can be summarized as follows:

1. Mold maintenance is a 'dirty, tiring, and tedious' task, and its quality directly affects the service life of the mold and production efficiency;

2. Labor shortage is prominent: skilled technicians are hard to recruit, and young people are unwilling to take this position, leading to a gap in the mold maintenance team;

3. Mold maintenance efficiency is low, and data recording and storage cannot be realized, often resulting in redundant or ineffective work;

4. Concerns about rust in mold water channels due to long-term storage, which affects subsequent production;

Inadequate mold maintenance forces frequent mold disassembly, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources and ultimately reduces production efficiency.

Guangzhou Daochen is a technology-oriented enterprise committed to serving die-casting enterprises. Since its establishment more than 10 years ago, it has been providing services to major automobile OEMs and die-casting plants in the die-casting industry. Through continuous communication and in-depth cooperation with customers, the company has developed intelligent mold maintenance equipment specifically for die-casting and mold enterprises, aiming to solve the current mold maintenance challenges faced by the industry.

The complete set of mold maintenance solutions launched by Guangzhou Daochen can effectively target 6,000-15,000 ton large die-casting molds, realizing cleaning of mold water channels, oil channels, and mold surfaces; at the same time, it can simulate on-machine operations for hydraulic leak testing, effectively avoiding oil leakage of cylinders after being installed on the machine.

Key Equipment for Intelligent Mold Maintenance

1、Mold External Cleaning Machine

It cleans the external parts and parting surfaces of molds after being removed from the machine. The equipment supports adjustable heating, automatically mixes and adds descaling agents and rust inhibitors, and uses ultra-high pressure water to quickly remove oil stains, metal powder, and aluminum dross attached to the mold's exterior or parting surfaces in harsh working environments, laying the foundation for the next step of mold maintenance.

 2、Mold Pipeline Cleaning Machine

It can realize mold pipeline flow measurement, pipeline cleaning, pressure testing, leak testing, pipeline drying, and automatically store and record relevant data. The equipment supports online cleaning during the die-casting process, effectively solving the problem of frequent mold downtime caused by pipeline blockage during production.

3、Mold Hydraulic Testing Machine

After the mold is removed from the machine, if the cylinder is maintained, this equipment can simulate the cylinder's on-machine working state for pressure testing and leak testing, and provide data support and records. This avoids oil leakage of the cylinder after installation on the machine, and reduces the problem of frequent mold installation/removal and reduced work efficiency caused by improper mold maintenance.
