New water-blasting system for Franklin Precision CastingsNew water jet blasting machine at Franklin Precision Castings

Franklin Precision Castings has announced the acquisition of a ‘state of the art’ 20,000psi water-blasting system, combining both automatic and manual operations for ceramic shell removal. This cutting-edge technology from Triplex Systems Inc of Minnesota, marks a continued advancement in its commitment to quality, efficiency, and workplace safety.

Mark Johnson, cleaning room supervisor at Franklin Precision Castings, said: “The Triplex water blasting system has reduced our cycle times by 50 to 75%, a remarkable improvement.”

The new high-pressure water jet blasting machine allows for safer and more efficient ceramic shell removal, improved consistency in part processing and shorter cycle time — getting parts even faster to our customers. In addition to boosting efficiency, the system reduces water consumption by 50%. The built-in drag conveyor unloads broken ceramic shell into a hopper, mitigating the risk of back injuries and enhancing overall safety in our operations.

The Model TRX-1250CAM combines the power of both automatic and manual cleaning cycles within a single cabinet. This innovative technology allows operators to seamlessly switch between modes via a user-friendly touchscreen interface, all powered by a single high-pressure pump unit. This investment reinforces Franklin Precision Castings’ ongoing commitment to continuous improvement.
