Dry ice blasting offers numerous benefits for cleaning in the plastics industry, making it a great choice for companies looking to improve efficiency, quality, and sustainability in their manufacturing processes. Below are a few applications on how dry ice cleaning is used by the plastics industry:
INJECTION MOLD CLEANING
Keeping mold cavities clean is a major concern for molded metal, rubber, and plastic product manufacturers in maintaining today’s high-quality standards and ensuring maximum productivity. The build-up of unwanted surface residues from the molding process can lead to inferior production quality. Cleaning with Watercorp’s dry ice cleaning system reduces risks to equipment associated with pre- and post-cleaning processes because it eliminates the need to disassemble or move hot equipment. Dry ice cleaning is a dry process and is non-conductive, enabling it to be used to clean equipment while it is still hot, eliminating timely cool-down and reheating periods.
Dry ice cleaning provides a non-abrasive method to safely clean molds online at operating temperatures.

NON-ABRASIVE CLEANING
PARTS FINISHING (DEBURRING OR DEFLASHING)
Dry ice blasting machines provide a faster and more uniform flash and burr removal process without causing damage to the part.
