repair & refurb
At Beaubury, we specialise in precision laser repair and tool refurbishment to restore the performance and longevity of your moulds. Our expert services help maintain bottle quality, extend tool life, and optimise production efficiency.
Laser Repair
The knife edge on a mould plays a crucial role in accurately cutting the parison (plastic) during production. A sharp, precise knife edge ensures that trimming and punching tools can cleanly cut the bottle, resulting in a smoother surface finish with fewer marks or imperfections. Over time, this edge wears down, leading to poor cutting performance and increased defects. Our laser repair process restores the knife edge to its original sharpness, improving cut accuracy and overall bottle quality.
Stripdown & Rebuild
To restore tooling to peak efficiency, we carry out a complete stripdown and rebuild. This process begins with a thorough disassembly and inspection of each component, checking for wear, misalignment, or damage. Any necessary repairs or replacements are carried out before the mould is carefully reassembled and aligned to its original specifications. This precision-driven process ensures optimal performance, minimising the risk of defects and extending tool life.
Shot blasting
Reshot blasting is a critical process for maintaining proper venting in mould cavities. The fine roughness created by this technique allows trapped air to escape efficiently during production, preventing defects such as poor surface finish or incomplete bottle formation. Over time, this venting wears away, leading to increased air entrapment and a decline in product quality. Our reshot blasting process restores the optimal surface texture, ensuring consistent performance and high-quality bottle production.
