MEFO-BOX. Systematic product transport and parts cleaning

MEFO-BOX Systematic product transport and parts cleaning

Company and core competencies More than just cleaning and transport baskets We have been manufacturing cleaning and transport baskets for nearly 20 years. Our products and systems continuously set new benchmarks in the market. This is thanks to our extensive know-how and many years of experience both in industrial cleaning technology and in the processing of stainless steel wire. We use this specifi c knowledge to develop transport and cleaning basket systems which are optimally matched to our customers requirements, and to offer them genuine added value through minimised repacking processes, optimised internal logistics and the economic fulfi lment of continuously increasing cleanliness requirements. Our quality requirements include ensuring that your investment in our products can be amortised within a short time. 2

Profitability starts with consulting We do not ask what you want the cleaning and transport basket to look like. We are more interested in the basic conditions under which you will use it. This information is then used to derive the optimal solution for your application. If technically advisable, we will recommend standard components such as the MEFO-BOX system with the standard dimensions of the cleaning machine manufacturers. This offers tangible advantages for you, including immediate off-the-shelf availability as well as compatibility with customary boxes and baskets. In addition, off-the-shelf products are more cost-effective than customised solutions. Last but not least, the MEFO-BOX system can be extended and supplemented at any time according to your requirements with additional standard accessories such as the fl exible MEFO-VARIO, MEFO-SYS or customised accessories and workpiece holders. 3

Quality, Component protection Top quality accepts no compromises Our cleaning and transport baskets are produced as standard from stainless steel rounds with an electrolytic polished surface. The high-quality, long-life material is suitable for all cleaning media and prevents return contamination from the basket to the component as well as contamination of the baths due to corrosion and zinc separation. The use of rounds also offers advantages for cleaning. Unlike boxes from sheet or perforated sheet, our wire baskets have optimal drainage behaviour and minimised media carryover. The uncompromising (cleaning) quality is further enhanced by the fact that our baskets are constructed without sheet metal frames and angles. There are therefore no parts of the basket where particles or dirt can collect, which would contaminate the component and/or cleaning medium. As the rounds are completely welded together, there are no sharp corners, edges or wire ends, which retrieve the risk of injury. For design reasons, baskets with mesh width 12 mm have a larger mesh at the corners. In the few cases where it is required, we can reduce the size of this mesh using an additional corner wire. The large 16 mm stacking frame is not only compatible with customary cleaning and transport baskets, but also provides a high degree of stacking safety. Electrolytic polishing makes the surface extremely smooth and closed. It also invests the components of the MEFO-BOX system with a high quality shine. This high quality look often means that the baskets are handled with greater care. 4

Component protection To avoid damage when cleaning workpieces with sensitive surfaces, we offer various methods of protection for the components. A special plastic grille, made of either PA or PP, which can be used on the base of the basket, as an intermediate layer and closure, prevents scratches or damage caused by metal on metal contact. This cost-effective plastic grille is a wearing part which must be replaced in regular intervals. Inserting bottoms, compartment rods and other components are also optionally available with HALAR or RILSAN coating. These plastic coatings wear over time and must be reapplied at regular intervals. Special temperature and media-resistant Tefl on clips enable selective coating of the areas of compartment rods and separators that come into contact with the workpieces. Tefl on clips are predominantly used for heavy and/or sharp-edged workpieces, where plastic coatings would wear too quickly. 5

MEFO-BOX system The MEFO-BOX system the optimal solution for countless cleaning and transport tasks Parts handling with minimised repacking processes not only saves time and effort, it also reduces reworking and rejections due to damage. This in turn reduces production costs. And reducing production costs is what the MEFO-BOX system is all about, with its uniquely wide range of accessories, which are available off-the-shelf. From production, through initial and fi nal cleaning, right up to assembly or dispatch, the entire workpiece handling process can be carried out easily, quickly and gently with the MEFO-BOX system. To meet your individual requirements, the system is available in various series: The dimensions of the are designed for use with Schäfer boxes. The inside dimensions of the Euro series are based on the inside dimensions of standard plastic carriers. The Special series are based on customer requirements (e.g. BOSCH standard) and have been added to the standard range. 1. MEFO-BOX (MW 6 or 12 mm) 2. Washing rack 3. Supporting lid (MW 6 or 12 mm) 4.

MEFO-BOX MEFO-BOX, model for heavy loads The MEFO-BOX model for heavy loads was developed specifi cally for cleaning and transporting large and heavy parts. The use of thicker wire rounds (4 mm diameter compared to 3 mm on the standard model) allows you to achieve higher load and stacking capacities. The MEFO-BOX model for heavy loads is available with mesh width 12 mm. The adjustable lid is available as an accessory on the model for heavy loads. Depending on the load, the inserting bottom (mesh width 12 mm) and clamping lid of the standard model can also be used with the basket for heavy loads.

Individual parts are initially covered with an inserting bottom whereas up to 2 bulk material baskets per base area can be locked directly with the clamping lid. If there are more than 2 baskets per base area, an additional modifi ed inserting bottom must be used to distribute the clamping force of the rollers equally across all bulk material baskets. The material to be cleaned is quickly and easily secured by two eccentric tilting levers. The clamping lid, which is made of stainless steel rounds and Tefl on clamping rollers, is predominantly used for cleaning processes with a rotating basket.

Their advantage over holding baskets in the MEFO-BOX is better fl ow through and the optimised accessibility of the bulk material baskets during parts handling. Washing racks.../wg-1 have 2 rows of holes each on the short sides and, depending on the load, are locked with an adjustable or clamping lid. Washing racks.../wg-2, which are equipped with 2 rows of holes each on the short sides and 4 rows of holes each on the long sides, can be locked either with one large adjustable or clamping lid or with two smaller adjustable or clamping lids. This allows you to secure two stacks of bulk material baskets with different heights. The washing racks can be stacked together with MEFO-BOXes of the same size. 14

How cleaning baskets influence profitability and the cleanliness of parts Beyond the basket As the link between workpiece and cleaning machine, the cleaning basket has a major infl uence on the profi tability and quality of the production step parts cleaning. Factors which can be enhanced by the design of the cleaning basket are duration, quality and cost of the cleaning process. Compared to boxes from sheet or perforated sheet, cleaning baskets made from rounds offer optimum accessibility. Thus the workpieces are fl ushed from all sides by the cleaning medium. The open design not only helps to remove soiling quickly and thoroughly, it also speeds up the drying process, which reduces the total time required for the washing process signifi cantly and ensures higher throughput. Quality made in Bretten It s a matter of know-how. Our strengths are our in-house design and manufacturing. For our customers this means consistently high quality, price stability and adherence to delivery dates no matter how large or small the order. Baskets made from rounds also offer signifi cantly better drainage, which minimises carryover of cleaning media and soiling. The advantages include shorter drying times and longer service life of the baths, which in turn results in better availability of the cleaning machine. This also has an effect on energy costs. DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 In addition, the round material reduces the contact surfaces between the parts to be cleaned and the basket. This reduces the risk of dirt or cleaning medium sticking to the part and ensures that the workpieces can drain fully at the contact points, which prevents stains from forming. Costly reworking and rejects are reduced to a minimum. Discover the difference Metallform has been producing baskets for product transport and parts cleaning for around two decades.
