INFORMATION ABOUT MOLD SANDBLASTING

You can find information about mold sandblasting process, required sandblasting machines and equipments on this web page. Steel alloy is the main material of molds usually. For this reason, long time pending molds can be exposed to corrosion. In addition, on the surface of the mold consists of residues after molding as a result of the manufacturing process. For example, rubber material adheres to the inner side of the rubber molds after molding. These residues are cleaned with the sandblasting process. Aluminum injection molds and plastic injection molds are also cleaned by the same process like rubber molds. In this process, sandblasting media which won't change mold tolerance and geometry is used like glass bead. Below you may see the pictures of sandblasting machines and cabinets used for mold sandblasting. The ideal sandblasting cabinet for mold cleaning is adequately mold sized and has a turntable rotating manually or automatically.
