Efficient Sand Transport and Waste Management Solution for Automotive Mold Manufacturer

In the fast-paced world of automotive mold manufacturing, efficiency is paramount. When one of our clients in this industry faced significant challenges with their sand transport and waste management systems, Air Dynamics stepped in to offer a tailored solution that greatly improved their processes, reduced waste, and enhanced safety.

This automotive mold manufacturer faced several operational challenges due to their outdated sand transport system. Each day, the facility used a whopping 3,000 lbs of sand across 10 3D printers. The process of manually transferring sand into 3D printer totes was cumbersome, leading to a number of issues:

• Waste Management: Approximately 75% of the leftover sand was discarded as waste, which not only added to the facility’s operational costs but also created environmental concerns.
• Housekeeping Problems: The manual handling of sand created housekeeping difficulties, with sand dust and debris accumulating around the facility.
• Inefficiencies: The existing system caused production delays, as the sand wasn’t being efficiently removed and recycled. This temporarily took the printers out of commission until the sand could be removded. Moreover, the client needed a way to separate different sand types, which wasn’t possible with their manual system.

After assessing the client’s facility and production needs, Air Dynamics designed a custom solution to address these issues head-on. Our approach involved the installation of two CV-22 Vacuum Systems, which were specifically engineered to meet the client’s demands:

• 24-Hour Operation: The system was designed to accommodate the client's 24-hour production schedule, allowing the facility to keep up with high-demand output.
• Simultaneous Use by Multiple Users: The CV-22s allowed up to 24 users to operate the vacuum systems simultaneously, significantly improving efficiency in sand transport and waste removal.
• Space-Efficient Design: The compact footprint of the CV-22 systems was perfect for the client's indoor space, meaning there was no need for the costly and disruptive relocation of the equipment outdoors.
• Custom Design: The vacuum systems were tailored to handle the specific needs of the client's operation, from fine dust to larger debris, ensuring that all materials were effectively removed.

The CV-22 Vacuum Systems brought numerous benefits to the client's operations:

1. Space-Efficient: The compact design of the CV-22 system ensures it occupies minimal floor space, making it perfect for facilities with limited room for bulky equipment.
2. Customizable for Your Needs: Whether dealing with fine dust, combustible materials, or larger debris, the CV-22 systems are flexible and can be customized to meet the specific needs of any facility.
3. Safety First: Designed to handle combustible dust, the CV-22 ensures a safe environment for workers, preventing potential hazards associated with sand and dust handling.
4. Scalable & Flexible: The system is scalable, meaning it can grow with your facility’s evolving needs. Whether your operation is small or large, the CV-22 systems can adapt.

The installation of the CV-22 systems has already yielded impressive results for our client:

• Efficient Sand Transport: The system drastically improved the transport of sand across the facility, making the production process smoother and more streamlined.
• Waste Reduction: By improving the sand recycling process, the client was able to reduce waste significantly, cutting costs and minimizing environmental impact.
• Increased Safety and Efficiency: The system enhanced overall safety, while boosting production efficiency. Workers now have a safer, more productive environment, and the company’s processes have become far more efficient.
