Mold Cleaning
Improve productivity by reducing downtime
BENEFITS
Dry ice blasting is a non-abrasive method that safely cleans moulds online, at operating temperatures.
- Improve product quality
- Clean in-place
Little to no disassembly required - Non-abrasive
No damage to moulds - Reduce scrap
Cleaner moulds lead to higher quality - Meet stringent industry demands
6-Sigma, Kaizen, 5S, TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) - Reduce production downtime
Clean quicker and without cooldown or disassembly - Decrease cleaning time and labor costs
- Eliminate painstaking manual cleaning
SPECIFIC USE CASES:
- Injection moulds
- Blow moulds
- Compression moulds
- Urethane moulds
- Textured moulds
- Slush moulds
- Technical moulds
- Extrusion dies
- Rotational moulds
- LSR and LIM moulds
- Thermoform moulds
Surface Preparation
Prepare surfaces with a dry process that allows
for immediate coatings/paint application
BENEFITS
Dry ice cleaning is a dry process that eliminates the need for aqueous or chemical solutions on paint lines.
- Dry process allows for immediate paint or coating after cleaning
- No secondary waste
Reduce disposal costs - Non-abrasive
Will not damage parts - Improve product quality
- Environmentally responsible
SPECIFIC USE CASES:
- Interior parts
- Exterior parts
- Cleaning surfaces before RTVs
Parts Finishing Cleaning
Quickly and safely deburr and deflash parts
BENEFITS
Dry ice cleaning is a faster and more uniform flash and burr removal process that does not cause damage to the part.
- Faster and more uniform clean
- Elimination of cross contamination
- Non-abrasive
Lower scrap rates - Reduce cleaning costs and overall downtime
- Higher quality parts
- Eliminate manual cleaning
SPECIFIC USE CASES:
- PEEK
- PBT
- Acetal
- Nylon
- LCP
- ABS
- UHMWPE
- Nitinol
