FLUIDIZED BED

Cleaning is a big part of mold repair and maintenance. Clean molds simply run better.

United Tool and Mold has installed a large capacity 80" x 40" x 40" fluidized bed to quickly and completely clean mold components, hot runners, and more. A fluidized bed uses silica sand heated to over 800° Fahrenheit, 420° C, to evaporate and thoroughly remove organic coatings like plastic and paint. The heated sand bubbles within the reactor enclosure, and that motion gently scrubs the surfaces clean. 

Watch this short video to see the hot bubbling sand and a few examples from this simple and environmentally friendly system.
