WHY DIE CLEANING EQUIPMENT & SUPPLY?
All Die Cleaning Systems are not the same. Only Die Cleaning Equipment and Supply LLC manufactures the DieKlean family of machines. As successor to the inventor of the world's first fully automated aluminum extrusion die cleaning machine, we remain at the cutting edge of die cleaning technology.
Our Trademarked Technology
SmartStrength provides a numerical indication of the ability of the sodium hydroxide solution to dissolve aluminum. That number, which we call the Cleaning Power Index (CPI), ranges from approximately 650 to 250, and decreases as aluminum is dissolved.
​
As the CPI decreases, the time to clean dies increases. This gives the operator a basis for selecting cleaning times, and the die shop manager a repeatable indication of when the solution is spent and needs to be disposed.
​
It also prevents fall-out by automatically shutting down the reaction if the CPI drops below a preset limit. Installed in over 50 DieKlean machines, SmartStrength has revolutionized die shops throughout the world.
Heavily loaded die cleaning systems release a great deal of energy resulting in a potentially uncontrolled reaction the results in a boil over. Large, cold dies will cool the caustic mix in the reactor by 10 degrees of more, delaying the reaction and extending cleaning time.
Our technology, PowerTech addresses both issues: it can raise the caustic solution temperature to the highest point to speed the reaction, while at the same time warming the dies to begin the reaction sooner, when required.
​
PowerTech assures maximum efficiency and can shorten cleaning time by up to 50% over conventional or uncontrolled cleaning tanks.
