The process is an **environmentally responsible** and non-abrasive alternative to traditional cleaning methods. It is a faster and more effective process that **does not produce secondary waste.  The process** allows for molds to be cleaned in-place, eliminates painstaking manual cleaning and reduce production downtime.   ![how do you use dry ice blasting](https://info.coldjet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/how%20do%20you%20use%20dry%20ice%20blasting.jpg?width=394&name=how%20do%20you%20use%20dry%20ice%20blasting.jpg)**Key benefits of dry ice blasting include:** - Improve product quality - Clean in-place - Little to no disassembly required - Non-abrasive - No damage to molds - Reduce scrap - Cleaner molds lead to higher quality - Reduce production downtime - Clean quicker and without cooldown - Decrease cleaning time and labor costs - Eliminate painstaking manual cleaning   **Typical applications in the plastics industry include:** - Compression Molds - Extrusion Molds - Injection Molds - Blow Molds - Thermoform Molds - Plastic Injection Screw Barrels - Urethane Molds and Overspill - Plate out - Off gassing - De-flashing and surface /parting line vents - Gloss leveling Watch our video to learn more about applications in the plastics industry: [**Watch Now**](https://vimeo.com/299873435)   ### The new standard in dry ice blasting #### The Aero2 PCS® 60 #### Enhanced for the Power of Choice. The PCS 60 features Cold Jet’s patented Particle Control System™ (PCS). The PCS precisely cuts dry ice into diamond shaped particles in the exact dimensions chosen by the operator (3mm to 0.3mm and 28 sizes in between). This allows the user to have a greater degree of versatility in their cleaning applications. ![OUREQUIPMENT_EQUIPMENTLANDINGPAGE_DRYICEBLASTING-2-500x500](https://info.coldjet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Cold_Jet_August2019%20Theme/Images/OUREQUIPMENT_EQUIPMENTLANDINGPAGE_DRYICEBLASTING-2-500x500.jpg?width=400&name=OUREQUIPMENT_EQUIPMENTLANDINGPAGE_DRYICEBLASTING-2-500x500.jpg)With the PCS, **a plastics processor can use one machine to clean many types of surfaces**, such as the surface of injection molds, deburring and deflashing, to cleaning injection screws. Previously, a facility would need multiple machines with different aggression level capabilities to clean each.   The machine also features **programmable and password-protected application recipes**. This feature allows users to set and save blasting parameters, such as blast pressure, particle size and feed rate.  A plastics processor can save one application recipe for one of their molds and another application recipe for a separate mold. This **prevents user error and ensures the right parameters** are used for each unique application. The PCS 60 is **IoT enabled via Cold Jet’s Industry 4.0 solution**, Cold Jet CONNECT®. The system provides remote monitoring and diagnostics while allowing users to collect and manage data and employ tools for optimum performance and productivity. **The PCS 60 brings Industry 4.0 capabilities to dry ice blasting for the first time**. The machine is also **automation and integration capable** via an optional accessory package, which enables the PCS 60 to be combined with a Cold Jet dry ice production unit and a robot for **continuous and fully automated blasting**.     #### The Aero2 PLT® 60 #### Designed for Power. ![PLT 60](https://info.coldjet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PLT%2060.png?width=246&name=PLT%2060.png) Building upon the groundbreaking Aero2 technology, the PLT 60 is designed for **applications that require more aggression**. With PLT machines, you can blast with up to 250 PSI (17.2 bar) of pressure using proprietary nozzles that are optimized for high performance.  The PLT 60 utilizes Aero advancements that enable the machines to be the most efficient dry ice blasters available. With a **‘straight through’ air system** and redesigned **SureFlow™ feeding system**, air pressure loss and dry ice sublimation are minimized within the machine. This allows the user to **maximize air supply yield and reduce dry ice waste**. With a **7” LCD screen and digital controls**, the PLT 60 provides an intuitive display that allows the user to easily view and adjust blasting parameters and machine settings. The machine also features **programmable application recipes**, which allows users to set and save blasting parameters, such as blast pressure and feed rate. The PLT 60 is IoT enabled via **Cold Jet’s Industry 4.0 solution, Cold Jet CONNECT™**. The system provides remote monitoring and diagnostics. ### ![live blasting](https://info.coldjet.com/hs-fs/hubfs/live%20blasting.jpg?width=174&name=live%20blasting.jpg) ### Live demonstrations at the Cold Jet booth At our booth **(hall 10/booth 10D48)**, we demonstrated our dry ice cleaning and surface preparation! You saw how dry ice is also used for deburring and deflashing of plastic parts and for preparing parts before painting or gluing. You challengee us by bringing your own samples to our booth for cleaning! We accepted the challenge and will blasted your tool LIVE on site.   ### Need more information?
