Franklin Precision Castings announced the acquisition of a state-of-the-art 20,000 PSI water blasting system, combining both automatic and manual operations for ceramic shell removal. This cutting-edge technology from Triplex Systems, Inc. of Minnesota, marks a continued advancement in its commitment to quality, efficiency, and workplace safety.
“The Triplex water blasting system has reduced our cycle times by 50 to 75%, a remarkable improvement,” said Mark Johnson, Cleaning Room Supervisor at Franklin Precision Castings.
The new high-pressure water jet blasting machine allows for safer and more efficient ceramic shell removal, improved consistency in part processing, and shorter cycle time, allowing our customers to get parts even faster. In addition to boosting efficiency, the system reduces water consumption by 50%. The built-in drag conveyor unloads broken ceramic shell into a hopper, mitigating the risk of back injuries and enhancing overall safety in our operations.
The Model TRX-1250CAM combines the power of automatic and manual cleaning cycles within a single cabinet. This innovative technology allows operators to seamlessly switch between modes via a user-friendly touch-screen interface, all powered by a single high-pressure pump unit.
This investment reinforces Franklin Precision Castings’ ongoing commitment to continuous improvement.
