January 2011: ASCOJET Dry Ice Blasting System for Hukla Möbel GmbH

Gentle mould cleaning with dry ice

For mould cleaning and machine maintenance, HUKLA in Gengenbach relies on the gentle ASCOJET dry ice blasting technology of ASCO.

The company in Gengenbach manufactures diverse components of upholstered furniture for residential living areas, such as seat cushions, armrests, etc. Quality is the benchmark for all activities at HUKLA, even for mould cleaning: with these standards in mind, they were looking for a residue-free cleaning method for their PU foaming tools, one which could easily be integrated into the process. After careful consideration, they decided on ASCO and the ASCOJET dry ice blasting technology. The Dry Ice Blasting Unit ASCOJET 908 gently and effectively cleans the moulds. In addition, Hukla also uses the ASCOJET dry ice blasting process for maintaining, that is, cleaning their machines. HUKLA also purchase their dry ice from ASCO.

Prior to the introduction of the dry ice blasting process, cleaning meant time-consuming scrubbing by hand using brushes and scrapers. Thus, the amount of time saved by using ASCOJET dry ice cleaning is tremendous. "Depending on the size of the moulds, we now only need between half an hour and one hour for cleaning, whereas we used to need approx. four hours", states Markus Gross, Foam Production Manager. In addition to the considerable time savings, Markus Gross views various other advantages of the dry ice blasting as paramount: because the dry ice directly sublimates upon impact with the surface, there is no secondary waste. And there is also a significant reduction in tool wear. Since dry ice cleaning does not damage the moulds and tools in any way, their service life is increased considerably.

Why did HUKLA choose ASCO? "ASCO had, on the one hand, the best value for money. Also, ASCO offered cleaning solutions specifically tailored to our needs", says Markus Gross of the collaboration.
