Injection mold cleaning

Removal of deposits without disassembly and downtime

Pulsed laser removes deposits, resins and residues from injection molds directly on the production line. No disassembly, no chemicals, minimal downtime.

Problem — deposits shorten mold lifespan

Deposits from the injection process reduce part quality and increase mold wear. Traditional cleaning requires disassembly and long downtimes.

Solution — on-site cleaning

Pulsed laser removes deposits without mold disassembly. The process is fast, precise and doesn't damage working surfaces.

Cleaning process step by step

1

Analysis

We assess the type of deposits and mold condition.

2

Cleaning

Removal of deposits without damaging the working surface.

3

Quality test

Verification of cleanliness and quality of first parts.

Example project

Cleaning PET packaging molds

A bottle manufacturer struggled with deposits on injection molds. Traditional cleaning required 2 days of downtime.

8 molds cleaned in 1 day. Downtime reduced by 80%. Part quality restored.

Frequently asked questions

Won't the laser damage the mold texture?

No — laser parameters are chosen to remove only deposits while preserving original texture and surface finish.

How often should molds be laser cleaned?

Depends on production intensity and plastic type. Typically every 3-6 months for molds in continuous operation.

Does the mold need to be disassembled?

No — we clean molds directly on the injection machine, without disassembly. This minimizes downtime.

Which plastics generate the most deposits?

Most deposits occur when processing PVC, ABS and glass fiber reinforced plastics.
