INDUSTRIAL MOLD CLEANING
Dry ice cleaning of industrial molds is an effective cleaning technique that uses extremely low temperatures to dissolve and eliminate impurities and residues accumulated on the molds.
This method is particularly useful for cleaning molds with complex geometric imprints, as it can reach all parts of the mold without requiring disassembly. Discover in the article below how dry ice blasting works for industrial mold cleaning.

Industrial mold cleaning with dry ice blasting: how does it work?
- Industry : Plastics Industry
- Treatment purpose : Plastic residue on industrial mold
- Equipment used : ATX20, replaced by ATX nano
Dry ice cleaning is performed using carbon dioxide in the form of pellets or mini-cylinders, at a very low temperature: -78°C.
This substance is projected onto the mold to be cleaned using compressed air, causing rapid surface cooling that freezes impurities and makes them easier to remove.
The impact of the ice also causes the contamination to crack, and as the dry ice converts to gas, it literally blows the dirt away.
The benefits of dry ice cleaning for industrial mold cleaning
Dry ice cleaning is a method ecological, because it does not require the use of chemical solvents harmful to the environment. Dry ice cleaning is also a safe method for operators. Indeed, it does not require the use of hazardous products or high pressure, which reduces the risk of workplace accidents.
Although dry ice cleaning is an effective and safe technique for cleaning industrial molds, it is important to follow certain precautions when using it. It is recommended to wear protective clothing and follow the safety instructions defined by the manufacturer of the dry ice cleaning equipment.
Wearing PPE listed below is mandatory:
- safety glasses or face shield,
- earplugs and/or noise-canceling headphones,
- dust mask: FFP3 mask recommended,
- cold-resistant gloves
Depending on the work environment, maintenance shop or press, it may be advisable to wear protective work clothing (coveralls, work uniform, etc.)
In summary, dry ice cleaning is an effective and safe cleaning technique for industrial molds. It allows you to remove impurities quickly and precisely, while respecting the environment and the safety of operators.
Dry ice cleaning can be used on many types of molds, regardless of their material or shape. This technique is particularly suited to molds made of steel, aluminum, and plastic, but it can also be used on other materials such as rubber and glass.
