Rubber

Keep the lines running with mould cleaning made easy

A major problem faced by rubber moulders is mold fouling. Build-up of cured material and mold release agents causes sticking moulds, blemishes and unwanted flash on final parts, making them unusable and requiring line shutdown for cleaning.

Traditional cleaning methods such as manual scraping, glass bead blasting or ultrasonic cleaning can be time consuming, ineffective, damaging to moulds and result in high labour and material costs. Dry ice blast cleaning offers an in-place, online, quick and effective way to clean without damaging expensive moulds.
