Dry Ice Blasting allows die
coatings to be removed while dies are in the casting machine and at
operating temperature. The process literally blasts particles of dry ice –
solid CO2 – into the coating where
it immediately sublimes into a much larger volume of CO2 gas. This causes the coating to break
up and free itself from the die as small particles, which are then cleared
away by the blast stream.
Because the dry ice particles
sublime completely during the process, there is no secondary waste to
dispose of and no possibility of entrapment of solid residues in complex
die cavities. Dry Ice Blasting is non abrasive
and will not damage die surfaces or change tolerances and critical
features, e.g. corner radii. To get the best results
from Dry Ice Blasting clean dies hot and in situ. This reduces
cleaning time, lowers the cost of dry ice used and increases die
productivity. The Clean Surface System
2000 costs less than £14 per hour to run for most applications and
its use for a few minutes can save hours of production down
time. Tel: +44(0)116 224 0072 Fax: +44(0)116 224 0074 E-mail: sales@cleansurface.co.uk |
