SITUATION

1. Parts produced: 4-cylinder engine block
2. Machinery: Bulher 2500 Tm

Our customer contacted us because they were experiencing soldering problems on the dies after implementing a new production line.

In order to achieve optimal results, they needed to complement the automatic application with manual application every 3 cycles and clean the mold every other production shift. This was affecting productivity and increasing the cost of production.

OUR SOLUTION

Our technical expert highlighted two aspects to be improved: the release agent wetting temperature and the lubricating properties. After analyzing the production parameters and the current release agent, Metalflow’s R&D team recommended CASTFLOW 8950 release agent with UHT technology. UHT technology allows working at high temperatures without experiencing soldering problems.
