stansrek rekken

Your injection molding machines sit idle, waiting. Your skilled die setters are navigating a maze of floor-stored molds with a forklift, risking damage to precision parting lines with every move. This unplanned downtime is costing you more than just space—it’s eroding your production capacity and putting your most valuable assets at risk. It’s time to engineer a better workflow.

Transform Your Plastic Molding Workshop with Engineered Die Rack Shelving

For any plastic packaging manufacturer, the workshop floor is a battleground for efficiency. The space consumed by haphazardly stored injection molds, blow molds, and thermoforming dies is space that isn’t generating revenue. Worse, this disorganization directly leads to prolonged changeover times, potential mold damage, and significant safety hazards for your team.

The traditional method—storing multi-ton, high-value molds on wooden pallets—creates a bottleneck in your entire production chain. It turns a simple mold change into a time-consuming, high-risk logistical operation.

Before: Disorganized floor storage creates risk and inefficiency.

A purpose-built stansrek rekken system isn’t just about storage; it’s a strategic tool for optimizing your entire workflow, from the tool room to the molding machine.

Slash Mold Changeover Times and Maximize Machine Uptime

The single greatest loss in a molding workshop is an idle machine. When a rek voor zware schimmel is placed beside your injection or blow molding machine, the SMED (Single-Minute Exchange of Die) process is fundamentally transformed.

Our system’s core innovation is the 100% full-open drawer mechanism. Each drawer, supported by high-precision Harbin 6404 bearings, glides out smoothly, presenting the entire mold clear of the frame. This allows your overhead crane to achieve a direct, zero-dead-angle vertical lift. The need for a forklift to maneuver in a wide aisle is completely eliminated.

• Before: A 30-60 minute process involving finding the mold, clearing a path, slow forklift navigation, and risky alignment.
• After: A sub-5-minute, single-operator process. The Die Setter simply rolls out the designated drawer and the crane does the rest. This can boost your production line’s effective uptime by a significant margin.

Protect Your High-Value Molds from Corrosion and Impact

A single injection mold storage asset can be worth tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Leaving it on a damp concrete floor or exposed to accidental forklift impacts is a significant financial risk. Corrosion on polished cavity surfaces or damage to cooling channels can lead to costly repairs and defective parts.

Onze die storage rack systems are built from Q235B structural steel, with main pillars utilizing 10# channel steel for unmatched rigidity. More importantly, every component undergoes a 7-step industrial surface treatment:

1. Degreasing
2. Rust Removal
3. Surface Conditioning
4. Phosphating
5. Drying
6. Electrostatic Powder Coating (60-80μm thickness)
7. High-Temperature Curing

This process creates a durable, corrosion-resistant barrier that protects your molds from the ambient humidity common in plastics workshops, ensuring a longer operational life and preserving your capital investment.

Engineer a Safer, OSHA-Compliant Workspace

The safety of your Tool Room Technicians and Mold Changers is paramount. Manhandling multi-ton molds with pry bars is a recipe for serious back injuries. A matrijzenrek that lacks proper safety mechanisms is an accident waiting to happen.

We integrate a multi-layered safety system to eliminate these risks:

• Self-Locking Safety Pins: Each drawer is equipped with a robust, independent physical locking pin. When a drawer is closed, the pin automatically engages, preventing any chance of it sliding out due to vibration or accidental contact.
• Three-Pillar Support: Unlike lighter-duty racks, our three-pillar design provides a crucial support point for the drawer even when fully extended, preventing dangerous tilting or sagging under a heavy load.
• Anti-Sway Bracing: The rear of the unit features a system of solid steel cross-bracing with adjustable turnbuckles, providing exceptional lateral stability and preventing the entire structure from swaying during loading or seismic events.

Reclaim Up To 80% of Your Floor Space for Production

Industrial floor space is your most finite resource. By transitioning from horizontal floor storage to a high-density vertical mold racking system, you can dramatically increase your storage capacity within the same footprint. Because our system is designed to work with overhead cranes, you can reduce aisle widths from a forklift-required 12-15 feet down to a mere 4-5 feet.

This reclaimed space can be used for what truly matters: adding another injection molding machine, creating a dedicated mold maintenance area, or improving overall workflow. The modular, main-and-add-on-bay design allows the system to grow with your business, ensuring a future-proof investment.

Frequently Asked Questions for Plastics Manufacturers

1. Our blow molds are bulky and weigh over 4,000 Lbs. Can this system handle them?
Absoluut. onze heavy duty die rack shelving is specifically engineered for these applications. We offer standard models with per-layer capacities up to 6,600 Lbs (3 tons), and our solutions team can design custom systems for even heavier requirements. The 10# channel steel frame ensures structural integrity under maximum load.

2. How does the rack integrate with our existing factory overhead crane?
The system is designed for seamless integration. The 100% roll-out drawer moves the mold completely clear of the rack structure. This provides your crane operator with unobstructed, top-down access to the mold’s lifting points, making the lifting process faster and significantly safer than angled forklift approaches.

3. Our workshop can get humid, especially near the cooling towers. Will the rack rust over time?
This is a key consideration we’ve addressed. The 7-step surface preparation, including a critical phosphating stage, creates an ideal surface for the 60-80μm powder coat to adhere. This forms a robust, sealed barrier that is highly resistant to the corrosion and rust that would plague a standard painted rack in a humid industrial environment.

4. We are expanding and adding new molding machines next year. Is the system expandable?
Yes. The modular design is a core feature. You start with a “Main Bay” (a complete, standalone unit) and can add any number of “Add-On Bays” to it at any time. These share a common pillar, reducing cost and installation time while allowing your storage infrastructure to scale perfectly with your production growth.

5. I’ve seen cheaper two-pillar mold racks. What makes your three-pillar design superior?
The third (front) pillar is a critical safety and longevity feature. On a two-pillar rack, when a heavy mold is fully extended, the entire load puts immense stress on the guide rails and fasteners. Our third pillar acts as a dedicated support for the extended drawer, preventing sagging, reducing wear on the bearings, and eliminating the risk of the drawer tilting forward, which is a major safety hazard.
