In-line washing of electric capacitors

Client's Industry Sector

The client company specializes in the design and construction of automatic assembly lines for electronic components.

Type of Work Commissioned

The client commissioned Teknox to design and produce a parts washer to be integrated into their automatic production cycle.

Client's Needs

During the production of electrical capacitors, they become contaminated with a highly toxic liquid. The client's need was to wash the parts to remove this substance and make the capacitors safe for handling by operators.

Teknox's Solution

Design and Production of a Customized System

Teknox addressed the issue by designing a customized parts washer for the client's needs.

Efficient Treatment Tunnel

The treatment tunnel receives a part every 5 seconds from a conveyor, loads it onto a dedicated handling system, and moves it through all phases of the machine: washing, rinsing, blowing, and hot drying.

Pallet Handling

The system used is a linear tunnel with 2 tanks and pallet handling, specifically configured to ensure effective cleaning of the electrical capacitors.

Complete Removal of Toxic Substances

Thanks to the washing process and subsequent stages, the system ensures the complete removal of toxic substances contaminating the electrical capacitors, guaranteeing operator safety.

Results Achieved

The implementation of the parts washer system allowed the client to obtain clean and safe capacitors for subsequent use in the production cycle. This helped maintain high-quality and safety standards, meeting the needs of the end customers.
