Dry Ice Blasting Applications
Non Woven Die Cleaning
The process is non-abrasive and extends the asset life of the die. With dry ice, there is no longer a need to manually drill out die holes or scrape off excess polymer. Dry ice blasting is a dry process and does not require water or ultrasonic tank cleaning and does not produce secondary waste. It is also environmentally sustainable and eliminates the use of chemicals.
Dry ice blasting effectively removes various polymers (PP, PET, TPU, PA, PE, PC, PS, etc.) from dies utilized to manufacture a variety of nonwoven products.

Why?
Manufacturers of polymer nonwoven products are increasing production rates with dry ice blasting. Regardless of the manufacturing method, spunbond, melt-blown, wet-laid, or needle-punch, cleaning is an integral part of maintaining and improving product quality and productivity.
Traditional cleaning methods of a melt-blown die can take many hours and multiple shifts. Cleaning with Cold Jet’s dry ice MicroParticles is measured in only minutes depending on the size of the die. This significantly reduces production downtime.
