FINTER's services: die head cleaning and maintenance
Burn-off oven

Thermal cleaning

Thermal cleaning or pyrolysis is an effective and fast solution for removing polymers, paints and other organic contamination. This method is used for cleaning die heads, melt pumps, mesh filters, moulds, extrusion screws, hot runners, paint hooks and frames etc. Pyrolysis removes plastics, coatings, glues, polyurethane and other organic contaminants from even hard-to-reach places like narrow channels, tubes, pipes, etc. It is gentle on the tools, shortens the maintenance breaks and makes your processes more sustainable.

With thermal cleaning you save your time, resources and energy on cleaning industrial tools!

Disassembly and assembly

These operations can be included into the scope of cleaning operations upon agreement. We can also replace the wearables and apply required greases and assembly pastes during assembly. Ask for a quotation!

Cleaning cycle

Metal parts are cleaned in the high temperature oven (300-600°C) in controlled atmosphere. Thermal Cleaning leaves no dirt even in hard-to-reach spots. We remove the remaining ash with the pressure air. Depending on the size of the parts and their volume our cleaning process may take 1-3 days.

Paint removal and other organic contamination removal

This cleaning method can be also used for removing varnishes and other organic coatings from metal parts of any geometry and form, for example, of coating tools, paint hooks, paint frames, electric motors, ink tanks, adhesive pumps or printing suspension gears
