Automatic Mold Release Spraying System

November 2nd, 2022

It’s so refreshing when simplicity connects with technology and translates to ease of use in a product development. That was the intended result when Slide designed their labor-saving Freedom mold release automatic spraying applicator. This compact unit provides the perfect delivery mechanism for Slide’s cylinder formulas or liquid/bulk formulations. The adage, “necessity is the mother of invention” can be aptly applied to our technical team the minute they created this plug-and-go unit.

Slide is no stranger to addressing best practices and meeting needs of their customers in the plastic molding industry. Faced with the challenge to develop a mold release tool that would offer an efficient spray method of coating the mold, plus lessen down time, save labor costs and achieve a safer work environment, our specialists rose to the task by producing the Freedom. It is truly a unique product yielding budget-cutting solutions in a user-friendly, full-feature operating unit.

Freedom Features & Benefits

• The autonomous hands-free mold release system plugs directly into 110v, 15-amp electric service and it’s ready to work. Components include a 10' power cord, two 10' spray hoses, 6' power cord and 5' tank hose.
• The Freedom is easy to program via its control panel and doesn’t require any hard wiring.
• Automatic configuration ensures a consistent, smooth spray while using less mold release formula.
• This portable system is self-contained and maintenance free. A proximity sensor placed near a mold cavity detects when it opens and signals the unit to deliver the release agent.
• It can be programmed to distribute aerosol at specific cycle intervals with time delay settings.
• Two spray nozzles add “arms” and can be mounted directly to the mold, attached by using brackets or optional magnetic blocks.
• Simple to install, the compact system has protective rubber feet for placement on any flat surface or directly to the machine.
• Designed with versatility in mind, it can also run in a manual spray mode if necessary by utilizing the correct parameters.
• Spray head magnets and a pressure pot are also available separately.
