Reduce cleaning time up to 80% with Dry Ice Blasting
Before the introduction of Dry Ice Cleaning Previously cleaning in the pharmaceutical was done manually and the process often took 3-4 hours. Water and chemicals were not an option in this sphere, so the residues had to be scraped off which caused wear and tear as well as damage to the equipment. In addition, scraping causes craters in the surface resulting in adherence of dirt. Today’s medical device manufacturers are well-familiar with micromoulding of precision (high-tolerance) parts - and all the problems associated with it. From the production of catheter tips to surgical device handles to surgical stents, clean manufacturing equipment is paramount. Keeping micro- cavities in production moulds clean (as well as cleaning the small, deep, complex geometry of micro tools) is a critical concern when manufacturing very high tolerance medical device parts. In addition, cleaning the clamping devices (used during the fabrication process) and removing parting line flash (deflashing) or material burrs (deburring) from final products are equally significant manufacturing issues. Precision dry ice blast cleaning is the perfect way to improve your medical device manufacturing processes.
IceTech can offer the appropriate equipment The IceBlast KG6 and the KG20 machines are ideal for recurring easy applications within the pharmaceutical industry. Usually external companies are not allowed into the production areas of the pharmaceutical industries. Therefore, the investment in an IceBlast machine is considered the ideal solution to almost any cleaning task in the pharmaceutical industry.
Reduced Payroll Costs: The payroll costs for cleaning are almost negligible since the cleaning time is reduced from three hours to less than one hour. Result: Substantial improvement of the cleanness of the work pieces not to mention the non-abrasive cleaning effect.
