Under the dual carbon targets, laser cleaning is rapidly gaining popularity in industries such as tires, clean energy, and shipbuilding for its high efficiency, precise control, and environmentally friendly characteristics, becoming a new solution in the traditional cleaning market.
2.0 Tire Mold Intelligent Online Laser Cleaning Equipment
Recently, HGLaser, a subsidiary of HGTECH, launched a new generation of tire mold intelligent online laser cleaning equipment, which can clean two sets of tire molds online in as fast as 30 minutes. Upon its release, the equipment was favored by a leading domestic tire company, securing dozens of orders. It aims to comprehensively replace traditional cleaning technologies and foster new productivity through innovation.

From 0 to 1, Every Innovation Originates from Demand
In the production process of automobile tires, molds are crucial tools used during the vulcanization process. During use, they inevitably accumulate deposits from rubber, additives, and mold release agents used in the vulcanization process. If not cleaned effectively and promptly, these deposits can directly impact tire quality. Therefore, maintaining the cleanliness of tire molds is paramount.
Traditional methods of mold cleaning include sandblasting, ultrasonic cleaning, or dry ice cleaning. However, these methods are characterized by high labor intensity, long processing times, high energy consumption, and dust and noise pollution, making them inadequate for modern tire production’s requirements for low-carbon, environmental protection, energy saving, and emission reduction.
HGTECH has always adhered to driving innovation based on business scenarios, focusing on industry core demands such as improving quality, reducing costs, and enhancing efficiency. In February 2023, HGTECH successfully launched and put into operation the first domestic tire mold intelligent online laser cleaning equipment. This innovation effectively addresses the pain points and challenges in traditional cleaning methods such as long standby times, repeated disassembly, mold wear, incomplete cleaning, environmental pollution, and high energy consumption. It marks the beginning of a new era in “low-carbon” and “automated” tire mold cleaning.
