Auto Plant Wanted Cleaner, Safer Wheel Alignment
C-TEK® RW™ adhesive film allows for quick, safe removal of rubber buildup on wheel alignment machinery
An automotive assembly plant was experiencing frequent downtime. New car tires were depositing rubber debris on the rollers on their wheel alignment machinery. The process to clean the rollers was labor intensive and it exposed operators to strong chemicals, sharp scraping tools, and poor ergonomic conditions.
Disposable protective covering protects rollers and operators
Curbell Plastics provided them with a solution. C-TEK® RW™ (roller wrap) is a proprietary adhesive-coated plastic film that acts as a disposable protective surface on the rollers. A length of C-TEK® RW™ is applied to each clean roller and then removed and replaced when rubber buildup reaches an unacceptable level.
C-TEK® RW™ eliminated the difficulties and downtime associated with the previous cleaning procedure. The assembly plant benefitted from reduced downtime, better performing wheel alignment machinery, and safer conditions for their operators.
