RUBBER & TIRES
Keep your tire and rubber
mold presses running
Buildup of cured material and mold release agents causes sticking
molds, 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 molds and result in high labor and material costs.
Dry ice blasting is an in-place, online or offline, quick and
effective way to clean without damaging expensive molds.
