Customer Background
The customer is a foreign trade automotive parts manufacturer specializing in engine components for export markets including Japan and Germany.
The company provides supporting services for global Tier-1 automotive suppliers including DENSO and Valeo.
The listed automotive customer references provide additional first-party background for supplier evaluation.
These high-end automotive customers have strict requirements for mold water channel cleanliness and cleaning standards.
For the manufacturer, meeting these requirements was important for maintaining its export business and cooperation with international automotive customers.
The Challenge: Existing Cleaning Processes Could Not Meet Customer Requirements
Before introducing the Double-Easy system, the manufacturer's existing cleaning processes were unable to meet the required standards for its high-end automotive export business.
This resulted in multiple product inspection failures.
These inspection failures negatively affected export orders and created risks for the company's long-term cooperation with global automotive partners.
The manufacturer therefore needed to improve its mold waterway cleaning process in order to align with the requirements of its international customers and stabilize its export business.
The Double-Easy Mold Waterway Cleaning Solution
To address these requirements, the manufacturer introduced a Double-Easy Mold Waterway Cleaning Machine.
The equipment uses internationally recognized core components to support stable performance, durability, and compatibility with global manufacturing environments.
The system also provides quantifiable and traceable cleaning results.
This was important for the manufacturer's quality-assurance requirements because cleaning information could be recorded and retained for international quality audits and customer inspections.
DBHM Mold Waterway Cleaning Technology
The Double-Easy system uses high-speed high-pressure water-vapor hybrid technology, identified as DBHM.
This cleaning process was used to thoroughly clean the internal mold water channels and remove residues.
The system was introduced to help the manufacturer meet the mold water channel cleanliness requirements of its high-end automotive customers.
Real-Time Cleaning Data Recording and Storage
Another important function used in this project was real-time cleaning data recording and storage.
The system allows the manufacturer to retain cleaning information and provide complete documentation during:
-
International quality audits
-
Customer inspections
This made it possible for the cleaning process and its results to be documented and traced.
Online Cleaning Without Mold Disassembly
The Double-Easy Mold Waterway Cleaning Machine supports online cleaning without requiring mold disassembly.
This cleaning method is suitable for continuous production environments.
One engine-component mold can be cleaned in approximately 35 minutes.
Compared with the manufacturer's traditional cleaning methods, cleaning efficiency improved by approximately 68%.
EU CE Certification Compliance
The equipment complies with EU CE certification standards.
Buyers may review the available certification and qualification information and request the applicable certificate for the exact machine model.
This supported the manufacturer's requirements for international quality inspections.
Measurable Results
After implementing the Double-Easy Mold Waterway Cleaning Machine, the manufacturer reported the following results:
| Performance Indicator | Reported Result |
|---|---|
| Cleaning time | Approximately 35 minutes per engine-component mold |
| Cleaning efficiency | Improved by approximately 68% |
| Export product inspection pass rate | 100% |
| Annual inspection, rework, and compensation cost reduction | More than RMB 720,000 |
The manufacturer also strengthened its partnerships with Tier-1 automotive suppliers.
Export order volume continued to grow steadily after implementation.
