At Industrial Storage Solutions, we design innovative storage systems to boost efficiency and organization in manufacturing environments. This case study showcases how we delivered a custom pneumatic mold rack system for a client, tailored to handle heavy molds with ease and precision.
Project Overview
Our client, Advanced Manufacturing Co., a leader in the automotive parts industry, required a high-capacity storage solution for molds of varying weights. They needed a system that could support substantial loads, ensure easy access, and maximize their facility’s space. After thorough consultations, we engineered a pneumatic, three-column mold rack system to meet their unique specifications.
The Solution: Pneumatic Three-Column Mold Rack
We developed a fully extendable, three-column Drawer Mould Rack Storage system with pneumatic operation to simplify handling heavy molds. Key features include:
- Drawer Size: 900mm x 600mm
- Load Capacity: 2000kg for the first layer, 1000kg for layers 2–4
- Configuration: 36–40 storage positions, depending on the layout (3 main racks + 6–7 secondary racks)
- Height: 2.9m
- Operation: Pneumatic cylinders (SE63*600) for smooth, controlled drawer movement
- Bouw: High-strength Q235B cold-rolled steel with reinforced panels and bearings
- Finish: Epoxy resin powder coating (60–80 microns) for durability and corrosion resistance
The pneumatic system, equipped with single-control switches, gas valves, and silencers, ensured safe and efficient operation. Fully extendable drawers allowed operators to access molds effortlessly, while the flexible configuration (36 or 40 positions) optimized the client’s available space.
Technische specificaties
The mold rack was crafted with precision and premium materials to withstand heavy-duty use. Key components include:
The manufacturing process involved precision steps: slitting, punching, rolling, welding, grinding, degreasing, rust removal, phosphating, drying, and electrostatic powder coating. This ensured a robust, high-quality product built to last.
Why This Solution Worked
Our tailored approach delivered exceptional results for the client:
- High Capacity: The first layer’s 2000kg capacity and subsequent layers’ 1000kg capacity accommodated diverse mold weights.
- Ease of Use: Pneumatic operation reduced physical strain, enabling smooth and safe drawer movement.
- Flexibility: Multiple configuration options (36 or 40 positions) adapted to the client’s space constraints.
- Duurzaamheid: Premium Q235B steel and a meticulous coating process ensured long-term reliability.
- Veiligheid: Reinforced components, stable slide rails, and pneumatic controls minimized risks during operation.
The result was a storage system that enhanced organization, streamlined mold access, and improved operational efficiency in the client’s facility.
