Plastic mould - Case study

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Aquila Triventek provides solutions for cleaning plastic injection moulding machines using dry ice blasting technology. This document outlines the equipment used, recommendations, and advantages of this cleaning method.

Equipment to be Used
The primary equipment recommended is the BL60 dry ice blaster. Proper nozzle selection is crucial and should be based on the mould's surface and the available air supply at the site. The dry ice format can be either micro pellets (Ø1.7 mm) or regular 3 mm pellets.

Recommendations
Aquila Triventek suggests conducting a cleaning trial with the BL60 blaster to determine potential downtime savings. This assessment helps in calculating annual savings, which often surpass the investment and operational costs of the equipment.

Advantages of Dry Ice Blasting

Significant reduction in downtime costs.
No abrasion or wear on the mould surface, leading to increased mould lifespan.
Maintains product tolerances, ensuring superior quality with fewer rejects.
No additional raw material usage, maintaining stable production costs per piece.
