In situ on site cleaning without having to remove the moulds from the plastic injection moulding machine. Cleaning when hot is an advantage to the cleaning with dry ice. Quick return of equipment back into production. No need to cool down and reheat. What normally could take hours can be done in minutes.

Regular cleaning reduces the time needed for each cleaning operation and more important reduces the rejects to a minimum.
No dust, water or chemicals used to get superior finish and quality.Advantages of dry ice blasting in plastic industry:
No damage to mould – longer lifetime – reduced cost

No dust.
No water residue.
In site cleaning
Reduced time and labour cost as mould in cleaned in-situ
Dry ice also cleans slots and screen vents at the same time.
