To ensure that the cleaning medium and the mechanics can fully exert their effect, good and all-around accessibility to the component is essential. (Image: Metal Mold Guardian) / Good parts accessibility is achieved by the use of rounds and the avoidance of closed corners and edges. The open design also allows particles to be washed out of the basket quickly and effectively. (Image source: Metal Mold Guardian)

In cleaning containers made from round bars, the parts are easily accessible from all sides. The open design contributes to effective dirt removal, quick drying, and minimized carryover.

Transfer operations can be optimized through so-called inversion solutions. The very high costs of manual handling and the risk of component damage are minimized. (Image source: Metallform Wächter)
