Cleaning and lubrication of automotive molds are important steps to ensure the normal operation of molds and extend their service life. Correct cleaning and lubrication operations can effectively remove dirt and impurities on the mold surface, reduce friction and wear, and improve production efficiency and product quality.

In terms of cleaning automotive molds, the first thing to do is to choose a suitable detergent. It is crucial to choose a suitable detergent according to the material of the mold surface and the nature of the dirt. Mild detergents or solvents are usually a better choice, and strong acid or strong alkaline detergents should be avoided to avoid damage to the mold surface.

Secondly, when cleaning the mold, appropriate cleaning tools such as soft cloth, sponge or brush should be used to avoid using hard or sharp tools to scratch the mold surface. It is also crucial to keep the cleaning tools clean to avoid secondary contamination of the mold surface.

Regular cleaning is also an essential step. Automotive molds will accumulate oil, dust and other dirt during use, so it is recommended to clean them after each mold change or production cycle to keep the mold clean.

In terms of lubricating automotive molds, choosing the right lubricant is crucial. Select lubricants such as lubricating oil, grease or dry lubricant according to the mold material and working environment, and ensure that the appropriate lubricant is selected to meet the working conditions and requirements of the mold.

When lubricating the mold, ensure that the lubricant is evenly applied to the mold surface and moving parts to avoid excessive or insufficient lubrication that causes increased friction or poor lubrication. Regularly checking the status of the lubricant and replenishing or replacing the lubricant in time are also necessary steps.

Different parts of the automotive mold require targeted lubrication methods and lubricants. Sliding parts and high-friction parts require more lubricants, while sealing parts and precision parts require the selection of suitable dry lubricants. Correct cleaning and lubrication operations will help keep the automotive mold in good condition and improve production efficiency and product quality.
