Our customer needed custom baskets to hold the oddly shaped parts in a very specific orientation to optimize cleaning and coating. Also, the baskets needed to hold the part securely through the full rotation process. And the design needed to be as open and light as practical so the cleaning and chemical sprays aren’t blocked and to minimize “drag-through” of the impregnation chemicals. It was very important that the baskets were easy and intuitive for the operators to load the parts in the correct orientation in a high volume production line. The Godfrey and Wing brand machine processes two loaded baskets per cycle so they needed to stack securely. And the baskets needed to hold as many parts as possible to maximize throughput.
