Foundry - Dry Ice Blast Cleaning
Dry Ice Blast Cleaning has cut mold and corebox cleaning time by 60% for aluminum permanent molders. Tools from the core-making machine can be cleaned in place with Cold Jet dry ice blasting, allowing for greater production efficiency.
Maintenance crews find that because Cold Jet dry ice blasting is a dry, non-abrasive, non-conductive process that leaves no residual media to clean up, it is a great solution for many general maintenance needs. Some of the most common applications include:
- Cleaning graphite lubricants off die-casting machines
- Removing excess grease, dust, ink or carbon off production equipment and hydraulic power units
- Cleaning conveyors without damaging pneumatic devices, bearings or electrical equipment
See additional General Maintenance and Facilities applications that will increase the value of owning a Cold Jet dry ice blasting system.
Cleaning with Dry Ice Blasting in the Foundry Industry Provides:
- Reduced production downtime
- No mold disassembly
- A better clean while hot and in-place
- Elimination of waste disposal cost
- Increased production time
- Non-abrasive cleaning with no damage to tooling
- An environmentally responsible clean
- A superior as-cast finish
A Few Proven Foundry Applications for Dry Ice Blasting Include:
- Permanent Aluminum Molds
- Refractory Coatings
- Core Boxes and Vents
- Die Cast Tooling
- Shell Core Molds
- Semi-solid Castings / Forging
- Remove Resins & Release Agents
- General Equipment & Facility
