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.

Benefits of Dry Ice Blasting

Eliminate mold fouling and production downtime by safely cleaning molds online

Dry ice blasting allows rubber and tire molders to clean their molds in-press, at operating temperatures. Cleaning molds online eliminates complete shutdowns, reduces production downtime and improves product quality.

  • Eliminate complete shutdowns and reduce downtime
  • Clean hot and online No mold disassembly or cooldown required
  • Reduce scrap rates and eliminate reassembly damage
  • Non-abrasive Will not damage or erode molds
  • Reduce cleaning time and labor costs
  • No secondary waste stream
  • Environmentally sustainableNo secondary waste
  • Operationally safe  Eliminates manual cleaning and exposure to unsafe conditions

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.
