Foundry

A major issue for the foundry and forging industries is the downtime caused when cleaning permanent aluminium moulds, core box vents, semi-solid castings and die casting machines. Typical manual cleaning methods require cool down, disassembly, unproductive hours of messy hand cleaning or bead blast cleaning, and then reassembly. In addition, most traditional cleaning methods are not fully effective and often result in damage to the part or equipment. Dry ice blasting offers significant improvement in cleaning times (up to 60%) as well as reduction of damage to equipment and resulting scrap product. As dry ice blasting allows a non-conductive, in-place method to clean parts, even touch-up cleanings are safe and easy.
