Rubber manufacturing equipment, extruders, and molds accumulate cured and uncured rubber residue that's difficult to remove without damaging precision tooling surfaces.

How Dry Ice Blasting Helps

• Removes cured rubber buildup from extruders and molds without the abrasive wear that shortens tooling life.
• Cleans intricate mold detail and vent areas that manual scraping can't fully clear.
• Reduces changeover time between rubber compound runs by cleaning equipment in place.
• No residue left behind that could contaminate the next production batch or cause surface defects.

Rubber manufacturers use dry ice blasting to protect tooling investment while keeping changeover times short between production runs.
