Tire molds are an important tool used in the tire vulcanization process. Tire molds are subject to rubber, compounding agents, and release agents during the vulcanization process, which will remain in the mold during tire production. These deposits include: sulfides, inorganic substances, silicone oil, carbon black, etc. With the daily use of tire molds, these contaminants will accumulate more and more, making it difficult to remove. General removal methods are not easy to remove and will form dead ends. What are the main types of tire mold surface cleaning at present?

　　The traditional cleaning methods include the physical mechanical method and the chemical cleaning method. Although both methods can remove the residue on the mold, they will cause damage to the surface of the mold to some extent. Although the physical mechanical method is convenient to use and not affected by environmental factors, the deficiency is that the cleaning process will damage the mold, and the damage to the mold will reduce the utilization rate of the tire mold. During sandblasting, the sand particles will clog the mold pores. After cleaning, the exhaust holes will be cleaned to increase the workload. The whole cleaning process is time-consuming, high-cost, low-efficiency, high-pollution, damage to the health of the cleaning personnel, etc. The chemical cleaning method is characterized by convenient cleaning and little damage to the substrate. The disadvantage is that it will cause cost of consumables, pollution of the environment, time-consuming, damage to health, poor effect on difficult to clean dead ends, incomplete removal, etc.

　　Laser cleaning equipment can quickly and effectively clean the attachments on the surface of the mold. Laser cleaning is a high-tech product that uses the light energy produced by the laser to clean the surface of the object. It is easy to install, control and automate. On the other hand, laser cleaning equipment can fit the curved surface for cleaning. In short, as long as the laser can be irradiated to the place, the attachments on the surface of the mold can be cleaned.

　　The main advantages of using lasers include:

　　1. Laser cleaning can be used with robots to achieve automated cleaning.

　　2. There will be no consumables or waste during the laser cleaning process, reducing the amount of waste and causing no pollution to the environment.

　　3. Laser cleaning is easy to operate and can be used by plugging in, eliminating the need for chemical reagents and enhancing safety.

　　4. Laser cleaning is a non-abrasive and non-contact cleaning process that does not damage the material.

　　Application industries: mold industry, automobile manufacturing, marine industry, food processing, sewage treatment, rubber tires, petrochemical and other industries.
