Customer Background
The customer is a small home appliance manufacturer producing injection-molded components for products including rice cookers and soymilk machines.
The company operates with limited production resources and tight budget requirements, making cleaning efficiency, operating cost, and equipment reliability important considerations in its mold maintenance process.
The Challenge: Low Efficiency and High Labor Dependency
Before introducing the Double-Easy system, the manufacturer relied on manual cleaning methods for its mold water channels.
This approach created several problems:
-
Low cleaning efficiency
-
Inconsistent cleaning results
-
Increased product defects
-
High rework costs
-
Increasing labor expenses
The manufacturer therefore needed a mold waterway cleaning solution that could improve cleaning efficiency while reducing dependence on manual cleaning.
The Double-Easy Mold Waterway Cleaning Solution
After evaluating multiple suppliers, the manufacturer selected a Double-Easy Mold Waterway Cleaning Machine.
The machine was selected because it provided a suitable balance of affordability, performance, and reliability for the manufacturer's production requirements.
The equipment uses key components from internationally recognized brands including Mitsubishi and Keyence.
These components contributed to stable operation, durability, and low equipment failure rates while helping reduce maintenance requirements and long-term operating costs.
The machine was also designed for straightforward operation, allowing operators to learn the cleaning process without specialized technical training.
Key Cleaning Capabilities Used in the Project
The Double-Easy system provided:
-
Online mold waterway cleaning
-
Cleaning without mold disassembly
-
Removal of internal scale and residue
-
Reduced labor dependency
-
Improved product consistency
A separate home appliance injection mold cleaning case shows another workshop application of mold waterway cleaning equipment.
A single small-appliance mold could be cleaned in approximately 16 minutes.
Implementation
The manufacturer introduced the Double-Easy Mold Waterway Cleaning Machine to replace its previous manual mold water channel cleaning process.
The system performed online cleaning without requiring mold disassembly.
The cleaning process removed internal scale and residue from the mold water channels and helped resolve uneven cooling problems.
Operators were also able to learn how to use the equipment without requiring specialized technical training.
Before and After
| Item | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning method | Manual cleaning | Double-Easy mold waterway cleaning |
| Mold disassembly | Part of the manual cleaning process | Online cleaning without mold disassembly |
| Cleaning efficiency | Manual cleaning baseline | Improved by approximately 88% |
| Cleaning time | Manual cleaning | Approximately 16 minutes per mold |
| Product consistency | Product defects and rework occurred | Product consistency improved |
| Labor dependency | Higher labor requirement | Labor dependency reduced |
Measurable Results
After one year of application, the manufacturer reported:
-
Cleaning efficiency improved by approximately 88%
-
Product defect rate decreased by 13%
-
Production efficiency increased by 28%
-
Annual savings exceeded RMB 460,000
These savings resulted from reductions in labor expenses, maintenance expenses, and rework costs.
What This Case Demonstrates
This project shows how replacing manual mold water channel cleaning with a standardized machine-based process can improve cleaning efficiency and reduce labor dependency.
For this home appliance manufacturer, the Double-Easy Mold Waterway Cleaning Machine allowed mold waterways to be cleaned online without mold disassembly while removing internal scale and residue.
The reported results also showed improvements in production efficiency and product consistency together with measurable reductions in operating costs.
