The Asaclean® Difference

• Easier and more efficiency changeovers.
• Reduction of scrap, downtime, and other processing metrics.

• Safer, easier, and scheduled screw pulls. No more surprises. Screw pulls using Asaclean® EX are incredibly easy and safe. Look at this video to see what a difference EX can make for your plant.
• Less reactive maintenance and more focus on preventative maintenance. Maintenance usually has a list of preventative activities over certain time periods. As a best practice, you should hit 90% or more of those activities. If you lose time with unplanned/emergency maintenance, you won’t be able to hit your other goals.
• We help you stay in control of your efficiency. If your machines are down due to a lack of preventative maintenance, your problems compound.

Less reactive maintenance and more focus on preventative maintenance.

• Inventory control. If you use virgin/regrind as purge, your buying team can have surprises. Inventory will stop matching, and you may not have the necessary material to run enough parts.
• Keeping on schedule with parts and production. Delivery times should be between 95-100%. You need to ship a set amount of parts on a specific deadline. You’re asked to keep under a certain budget. Purge has an upfront cost, but not using purge can be much costlier. If you can’t finish because you ran out of resin, then two things can hurt you:
  1. You will have to change your production schedule which will cause more changeovers than expected increasing the chance of contamination issues. This will necessitate using more purge.
  2. Your inbound/outbound costs will rise. You will probably have to expedite shipments to hit your deadlines. This kills your profit numbers.
• Helping you keep costs down. Every pound of product needs to be converted to a final good part to sale. Using Asaclean® helps you get the most out of your production resin so you need to buy smaller quantities less often.

• Fewer customer complaints. Asaclean® will help you deliver better parts to your customers. Quality departments will have far fewer complaints when contamination issues are removed.
• Improved “cost of quality.” Your cost of quality is how many dollars you need to spend to have a good part—or to prevent a customer from receiving a bad part. A Purge Program can help you prevent any issues that could cost you.
• Embrace a proactive mindset. You should never wait until a machine is dirty to address a problem. Sealing with Asaclean® during shutdowns and purging during changeovers can keep you defect-free.

• Fewer accidents and injuries. Safer purge procedures and standardized best practices can help your team avoid injuries. Using products like Asaclean® EX Grade during screw pulls avoids difficult cleaning and burn risks.
• Train with best practices. We train all members of your team to use our products the correct way. When rules are easily-defined and enforced, you will have less risk of something going wrong.
• Asaclean® Purging Compounds comply with rules, standards, and laws. We have clear documentation for our product.
• Plastic Disposal Reduction. By reducing scrap, you will also decrease the cost of moving scrap out of the plant or to a landfill. We also reduce the energy lost during downtime or while running bad parts. You will have better efficiency with your raw goods and with the cost of running your machine.

• Asaclean® will help your plant reduce scrap and downtime. This has a dramatic impact on overall cost savings. When you consider payroll, machine run rates, the cost of bad parts, and the opportunity cost of not being able to run good parts while you struggle with contamination, you may be leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table. Asaclean® will help you increase your profit potential.
• If properly measured, Asaclean® savings will be reflected in your P&L.
