Sandblasters for cleaning and maintaining molds and dies

Lampugnani sandblasting and shot blasting machines offer practical and effective solutions for cleaning and finishing molds, with the option of using different abrasives and microspheres depending on the desired result.

 

Surface treatment of molds allows for the removal of residues, deposits, and contamination, keeping surfaces clean throughout the various phases of use.

 

A clean mold means greater efficiency, consistent quality, and more reliable production over time.

 



Why use sandblasting in mold and die maintenance?

In industrial manufacturing, keeping molds and dies clean and efficient is essential to ensure continuity and quality in the production process.

 

Residues, release agents, oxidations and encrustations can accumulate during molding cycles and make periodic maintenance operations necessary.

 

Sandblasting and shot blasting allow these deposits to be removed, choosing the abrasive, grain size and working pressure based on the mold and the desired surface finish.

The Lampugnani solution: robust with easy loading/unloading

Lampugnani sandblasting and shot blasting machines are designed to meet the needs of mechanical workshops, mold makers, and production departments, offering robustness, ease of use, and a wide selection of abrasives and microspheres for various surface treatments.

 

From small dies to large molds, the Lampugnani range offers a variety of sizes and configurations depending on weight, dimensions, and desired finish. The available solutions facilitate loading and unloading operations, even for heavy and bulky components.

 

The large work area and different cabin configurations allow the machine to be adapted to the size of the workpieces being treated, making daily operations more practical. The simple construction also facilitates cleaning and maintenance of the sandblaster.

Non-aggressive cleaning

Using glass microspheres or plastic granules, it is possible to remove rubber, plastic or die-cast residues without removing the base metal.


Aesthetic surface finish

Shot blasting allows you to obtain a uniform and homogeneous aesthetic finish, enhancing the surface appearance and the final quality of the mold. 


Efficient molds

Periodic shot blasting removes residues and deposits accumulated during molding, keeping molds clean, efficient, and easier to maintain.

 

What can sandblasters do in mold maintenance?

Sandblasting and shot blasting machines are used in mold maintenance for cleaning, residue removal, and surface restoration, helping to keep the mold in ideal condition for subsequent processing.

 

They allow the elimination of release agents, processing residues, oxidations, encrustations and deposits accumulated during production cycles, effectively intervening even on complex geometries, cavities and areas difficult to reach with traditional cleaning systems.

 

By choosing the right abrasive, microspheres, and operating parameters, the treatment can be adapted to the mold material and the type of contamination to be removed.

 

Lampugnani sandblasters can treat molds of different shapes, sizes, and weights, making daily cleaning and maintenance easier and faster.
