COLD JET ASP-T was developed for the automated cleaning of tire molds - inside and outside the press - using 3 mm to 0.3 mm sized particles. The system can be easily integrated into existing processes. This saves up to 70% of the cleaning time compared to conventional cleaning methods.
The process parameters can be adjusted to fit the selected cleaning program according to the requirements of the winter or summer tire molds, with or without spring vents. The dry ice can be adjusted to more effectively clean surfaces depending on the complexity of the side walls and tread in combination with the curing cycles.
The system can be used to perform automated cleaning of the most common tire molds inside the vulcanization press with an open segment position capability. This eliminates flash and rework at the final finish department. It also allows for the cleaning of sidewalls in only one cleaning cycle. These unique features lead to enormous cost savings, increased productivity and a competitive advantage.
The combination of Cold Jet products that are integrated as system solutions, such as the COLD JET ASP-T for tire mold cleaning and the PR 350H for on-site dry ice production, enables users to implement a unified controllable process across multiple production facilities.
