Goals
- Reduce production downtime
- Increase piston lifespan for less often replacement
- Get a part resistant to peroxide
Required time for replacement — during this time production fully stops
3 months
Milled polyamide
6 HOURS
PETG (Plastic resistant to peroxide)
+ CCF (Composite Carbon Fiber)
RESISTANT TO PEROXIDE
Clevis moves through the production line, catches a yoghurt bottle and sends it to the washing area. The part is washed with peroxide. The original part is made from milled polyamide, replacement the destroyed one takes 3 months. During this time, the production line fully stops: the company doesn’t get enough sales volume and suffers losses.
The part printed on Anisoprint Composer reduced production downtime from 3 months to 6 hours.It was made from resistant to peroxide plastic, PETG, and reinforced by composite carbon fiber through anisoprinting technology. The technology allows using any plastic as a matrix so it’s possible to get composite parts with the required chemical properties.
