Dry Ice Blasting Applications:
Mould Cleaning
Quickly, safely and efficiently clean your moulds while improving OEE operational efficiencies
Dry ice blasting is non-abrasive, does not produce secondary waste and allows you to clean your moulds in the press, at operating temperatures. This leads to improved productivity, higher quality parts and reduced costs.
The process can clean any type of mould and a variety of mould finishes up to and including A1 surfaces and textured surfaces.
Specific Use Cases

Benefits of Dry Ice Blasting
Cut costs, increase production efficiency and improve product quality
Dry ice blasting not only cleans your moulds 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 wasteNo secondary cleaning process from solvent residue
- Clean moulds online at operating temperatures
- Reduce downtime Clean faster with no disassembly required
- Easily clean complex moulds Access and clean complex mould geometries, such as cavities and vents
- Meet stringent productivity demands
Meet demands (6-Sigma, Kaizen, 5S, TPM) and improve OEE scores - Decrease CostsDecrease mould 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 mould
- Eliminate manual cleaning and harmful chemicals Safer for employees and the environment
