Fakuma Review from Cold Jet
At Fakuma exhibition Cold Jet introduced their new Plastics Edition machines. The Aero Plastics Edition systems are dry ice cleaning systems, working with the "Sure Flow" pellet technology. According to the company the systems feature an isolated, insulated hopper with advanced agitation, internal pressure regulator, dosing system and coated aluminum or stainless steel rotor. Additional accessories include the XP Performance applicator with dual triggers for drop protection, sealed electrical switches, tough outer shell, two industrial-grade lights and ergonomic design; a rubber blast hose designed to eliminate constrictions and freezing; Sure Flow quick disconnect fittings and variable fragmenting Mern nozzles which have been predefined through the company. Furthermore Cold Jet presented its dry ice cleaning solution using a Plastics Edition i3 Micro Clean, demonstrating the automated cleaning of a PET preform mould.
The company asserts that the Plastics Edition cleaning process would allow moulds and other products to be cleaned in a fraction of the time, allowing increased cycles between preventive maintenance. In addition, moulds could be cleaned hot and in-place, without water, without chemicals or creation of secondary waste.
