The Magic of Dry Ice in Plastic & Rubber Molding

Name: Dry Ice Cleaning for Plastics

Description: Clean mold cavities and vents are a major concern for plastic part manufacturers in maintaining today’s high quality standards. The build-up of unwanted surface residues from either the product mix itself, mold releases or the labeling process can create various problems, ranging from product release (“knock out”) to inferior product quality and possible damage to tools.

      With dry ice cleaning, the quality of our finished parts increased greatly. Power washing leads to varnishing and stains on the parts, while dry ice cleaning eliminates this.

      In addition to cleaning our molds faster and more frequently, we no longer need a team of people to help us disassemble, clean and reassemble molding equipment.

      We clean a number of molds that are hot while online. With dry ice cleaning, we are able to clean the molds much faster than when using chemicals. This has reduced downtime and increased both our productivity and employee safety.
