RUBBER & TYRES
Keep your tyre and rubber
mould presses running
Buildup of cured material and mould release agents causes sticking
moulds, blemishes and unwanted flash on final parts, making
them unusable and requiring press shutdown for cleaning.
Traditional cleaning methods can be time consuming, ineffective,
damaging to moulds and result in high labour and material costs.
Dry ice blasting is an in-place, online or offline, quick and
effective way to clean without damaging expensive moulds.

→ Clean hot and online
No mould disassembly or cooldown required
→ Reduce scrap rates and eliminate reassembly damage
→ Non-abrasive
Will not damage or erode moulds
→ Reduce cleaning time and labour costs
→ No secondary waste stream
→ Environmentally responsible
No secondary waste
→ Employee safe
Eliminates manual cleaning and exposure to unsafe conditions
