Dies must be washed routinely to ensure a quality
product is made. Documentation must be made when dies
are washed. To ensure that all obstructions are removed,
careful inspection of inserts should be done after a die
is washed and before it is used.
During production, inserts can become plugged or obstructed. This can result in a 'split' product. In some cases these inserts can be carefully 'picked' to remove the obstruction. As necessary, a die may have to be washed or a different die must be used in order to make a quality product.
Care must be taken whenever handling dies. This is certainly true for safety reasons as dies are very heavy. In addition, care should be taken not to scratch or bump the surface of any insert as this may cause distortion.
