Abrasive belts are an indispensable tool in many industrial applications, particularly in woodworking, metalworking and the automotive and aerospace industries. They are used to efficiently shape, smooth or process materials. However, due to their intensive use, they are particularly susceptible to soiling, which can have a serious impact on their performance and service life.
One of the most common forms of soiling on sanding belts are abrasion particles that are produced during the processing of materials. These particles can consist of wood fibers, metal shavings or other material residues and are deposited in the pores and grooves of the abrasive cloth. These accumulations reduce the sanding effect and lead to inefficient processing.
Resins and adhesive residues, which often occur when processing wood products, are another problem. These substances are particularly stubborn and can heavily contaminate the surface of the sanding belt. They tend to stick to the abrasives, which reduces abrasion and impairs the performance of the belt. Cleaning such residues is crucial to ensure the optimum functionality of the abrasive belt.

Chemical residues from lubricants or coolants can also be problematic. In some applications, lubricants are used to reduce the coefficient of friction and extend the service life of the sanding belt. However, these substances can also leave an unwanted layer on the belt, which disrupts the sanding process and leads to uneven surfaces.
When cleaning with the dry ice blasting process, the contaminants are effectively dissolved by the temperature and pressure differences. Deposits are gently removed while the abrasive belt itself remains intact. This is particularly beneficial as it extends the service life of the sanding belts and reduces the need for frequent replacement cycles.
The removal of soiling is of great importance for the maintenance and efficiency of abrasive belts. The dry ice blasting process is an excellent solution in this context. This process offers a gentle and effective method for cleaning sanding belts without damaging the materials or having to use aggressive chemical cleaning agents.
By integrating this cleaning technology into their maintenance processes, companies can not only improve the quality of their products, but also significantly increase the efficiency of their production processes.
