DRY ICE BLASTING APPLICATIONS:
Mold Cleaning
Quickly, safely and efficiently clean your molds while improving OEE operational efficiencies
Dry ice blasting is non-abrasive, does not produce secondary waste and allows you to clean your molds in the press, at operating temperatures. This leads to improved productivity, higher quality parts and reduced costs.
The process can clean any type of mold and a variety of mold finishes up to and including A1 surfaces and textured surfaces.
SPECIFIC USE CASES
Dry ice blasting safely and
effectively cleans all types of molds

BENEFITS OF DRY ICE BLASTING
Cut costs, increase production efficiency and improve product quality
Dry ice blasting not only cleans your molds more effectively, but also leads to an increase in OEE operational efficiencies.
→ Non-abrasive
Will not damage parting lines, sealing surfaces or surface finishes
→ No secondary waste
No secondary cleaning process from solvent residue
→ Clean molds online at operating temperatures
→ Reduce downtime
Clean faster with no disassembly required
→ Easily clean complex molds
Access and clean complex mold geometries, such as cavities and vents
→ Meet stringent productivity demands
Meet demands (6-Sigma, Kaizen, 5S, TPM) and improve OEE scores
→ Decrease Costs
Decrease mold cleaning costs by as much as $50,000
→ Reduce cleaning times
Reduce cleaning times by as much as 75%
→ Improve product quality and decrease scrap rates
→ Extend asset life of the mold
