By cleaning in place, we have addressed the operator safety issues associated with pulling a hot mold. One of the most notable gains is the increased productivity by cleaning our molds in-place, thus extending our production runs. We now use dry ice blasting in all of our manufacturing facilities.
Dry ice cleaning equipment for Rubber & Tire Molds
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. Turn to rubber & tire mold dry ice cleaning equipment for a faster, more efficient, and gentler solution.
Dry ice blasting is an in-place, online or offline, quick and effective way to clean without damaging expensive molds.
