- Weld lines can take more than two hours to clean completely by using the traditional methods of hand scraping and chemical use. With Cold Jet, complete weld lines can be cleaned in 25 minutes.
- Slush molds require routine spot cleaning in order to remove the tiny grains and TPU burn marks that result in unusable product production. Traditional cleaning methods use aluminum oxide, which is ineffective, causing the molds to be shut down often, in order to perform and entire cleaning on the mold. With Cold Jet, slush molds no longer need to be cleaned with the toxic chemical, aluminum oxide. A thorough spot clean on the molds is achieved, preventing a shut down and allowing increased production.
- E-coat, which is typically removed by hand scraping, can be difficult to remove when too thick or in hard-to-reach locations. With Cold Jet, E-coat is easily removed from paint shop rollers, hooks, guide rails, electric motor and reduction gearboxes, perforated shielding and the concrete floor. In addition, spray-booth sensors and floor gates are kept clean and clog-free with regular use of the Cold Jet system.
- Urethane foam molds have to be cleaned down to the surface in order to remove the plastic residues and release agents that can cause unsatisfactory gloss levels. Cold Jet blasting systems allow the molds to be cleaned with at least 70% fewer man hours and provide for a complete and thorough clean, otherwise unachievable. The level of clean that Cold Jet systems provide allows for assured part tolerance and smooth part release.
- General maintenance on items such as cooling fans, ceiling fans, walls and superstructures can be a time consuming task that takes away from worker productivity. With Cold Jet, these tasks are performed in a matter of minutes, allowing for increased productivity.
