High-performance warehouse equipment engineered to handle heavy injection molds, tooling, and industrial raw materials in automated manufacturing centers.
In recent years, Costa Rica has successfully positioned itself as a world-class hub for high-technology exports, medical device manufacturing, and precision engineering. Key industrial zones such as the Coyol Free Zone (Alajuela), Cartago Industrial Park, and various Free Trade Zones (FTZs) in Heredia host global multinationals requiring strict facility management standards. As factories transition from labor-intensive assembly to advanced automated manufacturing, the demand for precision-engineered, heavy-duty mold racking systems (sometimes termed "die drawer racks" or "slide-out mold shelving") has surged.
Injection molding processes lie at the heart of both medical device production and food packaging sectors in Central America. Handling injection molds, stamping dies, and industrial tooling weighing between 500 kg and over 5,000 kg requires dedicated, seismically safe structural systems. Storing these highly expensive assets on inappropriate shelving risks worker safety and expensive mold damage. Designing and supplying mold racks for Costa Rica demands high-tensile steel, robust locking structures, and structural engineering compliance to withstand the region's active seismic activity.
Tailored powder finishes with low particulate shedding, matching Coyol Free Zone ISO cleanroom standards.
Compliant with the Código Sísmico de Costa Rica, utilizing robust anchor bolts and thicker cold-rolled profiles.
Equipped with automatic safety locks and single-drawer pull-out interlocks to prevent frame tipping accidents.
Our industrial die and mold storage systems use heavy structural steel members and high-capacity ball-bearing slide runners. Drawer units slide out up to 70% to 100% of their depth, facilitating overhead crane access. Below is the structural configuration engineered for heavy manufacturing operations in Central America:
| Feature Parameter | Standard Mold Rack Specification | Heavy-Duty Custom Option |
|---|---|---|
| Load Capacity (Per Tier) | 500 kg to 1,500 kg per drawer | 2,000 kg to 5,000 kg per drawer |
| Steel Standard | Q235B High-Quality Cold-Rolled Steel | Q355 High-Strength Structural Steel |
| Drawer Extension Range | 60% - 70% Semi-Slide Out | 100% Full-Slide Out (Dual Bearings) |
| Corrosion Protection | Electrostatic Powder Coated (Epoxy-polyester) | Hot-Dip Galvanized (ASTM A123) for Humid Ports |
| Safety Mechanisms | Manual Back-Locks & End Stops | Anti-Tipping Interlocks (One drawer opens at a time) |
| Lifting Integration | Compatible with manual hoist/monorail | Integrated Top Overhead Crane (Up to 5 Tons) |
Costa Rica's tropical climate features high relative humidity, especially in industrial areas near San José, Cartago, and coastal ports like Limón and Caldera. Standard mild steel racks corrode quickly under these conditions. To counter this, our manufacturing process incorporates multi-stage chemical pre-treatments (including acid pickling and phosphating) followed by an electrostatic cure of premium powder coatings. For extreme coastal applications, hot-dip galvanizing protects structural weldments against structural oxidation and metal fatigue.
