Mold Cleaning In The Food Industry

Maintaining molds is a key part of running a successful manufacturing operation.

Companies that use molds in their manufacturing process often face issues like dirty molds that lead to:

• demolding,
• discoloration,
• sticking parts,
• decreased efficiency.

The logical solution to these issues is obviously the process of mold cleaning. But what is the best technique for cleaning molds? You have a variety of choices among the existing cleaning technologies. But if you are currently facing the above-mentioned problems, this means your current cleaning technology is not efficient.

Chemicals used for mold cleaning in the food industry create health risks…

Chemicals used for mold cleaning in the food industry create health risks for employees. Additionally, they may endanger the final consumer. These contaminants need to be completely cleaned from the molds. This will require additional time for washing and drying, and the expense for the disposal of these hazardous materials.

Talking about time, how long does it take to disassemble, clean, and reassemble your molds? Consider how much revenue you lose while your manufacturing process is on hold.

Additionally, all of the traditional mold cleaning methods will lead to pollution due to the disposal of hazardous materials.

Is the industrial cleaning technology you are using right now efficient? Does it take away all the residues? Are you forced to repeat cleaning procedures to get the desired results? Or do you feel like it’s time to switch to something better?

So basically, the perfect solution to mold cleaning would be:

Safe

Eco-friendly

Efficient

Cost Effective

This perfect solution is laser cleaning technology.

• no consumables used,
• no exposure of employees to hazardous materials,
• no need to disassemble the mold for cleaning,
• no worries about the temperature of the mold – the laser doesn’t care,
• no damage to the mold as lasers are non-contact,
• all the contaminants, including bacterial, are eliminated,
• incredibly efficient.

Laser mold cleaning is more efficient in every sense of the word…

Laser mold cleaning is more efficient in every sense of the word.

At the same time, it is safe and environmentally friendly.

Laser cleaning systems may seem expensive, but they don’t come with a long list of extra expenses, like:

• the cost of expensive consumables,
• time saved on disassembling and additional cleaning, which means no loss of revenue due to downtime.
• covering the risks related to the hazardous technology,
• not to mention the risk of being sued…
