Tire mold is an important tool used in the tire curing process, tire mold in use will be subjected to rubber, with the agent, in the vulcanization process will also use the release agent, all of these will be in the tire production to stay in the mold, these deposits include: sulfide, inorganic substances, silicone oil, carbon black and so on. With the daily use of tire molds, these pollutants will accumulate more and more, it is difficult to remove. General removal methods are not easy to be removed cleanly, will form a cleaning dead zone. At present, what are the main types of tire mold surface cleaning?
Traditional cleaning methods are physical mechanical method, chemical cleaning method, both methods can remove the residue on the mold, but more or less will cause damage to the surface of the mold. Although the physical and mechanical method is easy to use without the influence of environmental factors, but the lack of cleaning process will damage the mold, the mold damage to the tire mold utilization rate is reduced, sandblasting, sand will block the mold air holes, but also to clean up after cleaning the exhaust holes to increase the workload of the entire cleaning time-consuming, high cost, low efficiency, pollution, damage to clean up the staff's health, and so on. Chemical cleaning method is characterized by easy cleaning, small damage to the substrate. Its shortcomings lie in the cost of consumables, pollution of the environment, time-consuming, damaging to health, difficult to clean up the dead ends of the effect is poor, the removal is not complete and so on.
Laser cleaning equipment can be attached to the surface of the mold for fast and effective cleaning, laser cleaning is the use of laser light energy produced to clean the surface of the object cleaning equipment is a new generation of high-tech products on the surface of its easy to install, manipulate and achieve automation. On the other hand, laser cleaning equipment can fit the surface cleaning, simply put, as long as the laser can be irradiated to the place, mold surface adhesion can be cleaned.
