Summary:
After unsuccessful testing with ultrasonics and aqueous solutions, baking soda media blasting was implemented. Parts were cleaned in under five minutes with no rubber remaining.Test Objective:
To find an effective method for cleaning mold surfacesProduct Use:
Mold for curing truck/bus radial tires| Trial Number | Date Run | Purpose | Success Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 09/04/1997 | To identify more effective cleaning method. | Test showed little or no promise. |
| 1 | 09/18/1997 | Evaluate sodium bicarbonate media blasting | Results suggest a scale-up feasible match for cleaning chemistry and equipment. Pilot plant study with actual parts recommended. |
