RUBBER RESIDUE REMOVAL

DUSTLESS BLASTING® CASE STUDY

JOB OVERVIEW

Southwest Mobile Blasting received a call from a local trucking company facing issues with rubber residue buildup on their tire molds. Left unchecked, the residue on the molds would affect the appearance of the finished tire. The client, with over 8,000 trailers in their fleet, expressed dissatisfaction with the efficiency of their current solution.

The trucking company explained to me that they were sending one set out at a time to a local stationery blasting business. This involved them shipping one set of molds at a time to the blaster and then shipping them back a week later."
