Door-Stop International are a nationwide supplier of high quality composite door sets based in a 117,000 sq.ft, state of the art, manufacturing and distribution facility in North Nottinghamshire. Mr. James Zafar, Operations Director, needed to find a cleaning solution for the debris and dust left on their composite slabs after CNC machining, prior to assembly. James was aware that blowing down the slabs with airlines created further problems by blowing the debris into the atmosphere, only for it to land back down on factory surfaces, and people, who end up breathing in the small particles left in the atmosphere, causing health concern issues with staff. On top of this is the high costs of using compressed air in this way. After site visits to by MPS to examine the issues, the Wandres CF05 machine was proposed which combines the Tornado channel, Sword brush and Ingromat cleaning system for debris removal and fine cleaning of surfaces.
The Wandres system is simple but clever – firstly the tornado channel creates turbulence using the internal rotating nozzles, and effectively removes contamination in routed areas, or in small grooves. Secondly, the Ingromat sprayer applies a thin film of Ingromat liquid onto the tips of the brush filaments, and wipes away particles that remain, but the component surface will remain dry. The linear brush binds unwanted particles to its micro moistened filaments, and transports them towards the extraction system. Both the mechanical brush contact, and the capillary adhesive, forces between the micro moistened brush filament and the particle, and ensures that all particles are effectively removed from the surface. The conductive Ingromat liquid also reduces electrostatic forces and there is also a self-cleaning mechanism for the linear brushes.
The process is fast, clean, and very efficient and is designed to give users the peace of mind they need to send the product to the finishing or assembly stage. The Wandres system significantly reduces reject rates and keeps the quality standard high. The Wandres system can be used in a number of other applications, including aluminium (foils and sheet), chipboard, flat glass, furniture panels, high-pressure laminates, leather, domestic appliances and much more.
