Industrial cleaning in
the plastics industry
The manufacturing of plastics involves extrusion, injection, and blow molding, processes that generate pellet dust, molten polymer residues, and volatile organic compound (VOC) vapors. At ICS, we develop custom engineering solutions to keep your lines free of contaminants and comply with ATEX and quality regulations.
Cleaning challenges in the plastics industry
Operations in the plastics industry present challenges that require specialized solutions:
- Accumulation of pellet dust in silos and pneumatic conveying systems.
- Molten polymer residues in extruders and injectors that cause thermal degradation.
- Static electricity that attracts particles to critical surfaces and electrical equipment.
- Emission of VOCs and fumes that affect health and indoor air quality.
- Need for quick color or material changes between batches without cross-contamination.
Specialized industrial cleaning solutions
Chemical and mechanical purging in extruders
High-performance purging formulations clean screws and barrels without disassembly, reducing scrap.
VOC extraction and filtration systems
We install hoods and activated carbon filters that capture vapors and improve IAQ.
Cleaning of silos and ducts with brushing robots
Vacuum robots with spark-arresting filters remove pellet dust and reduce explosion risks.
Antistatic discharges and cryogenic cleaning
Use of ionizing bars and dry ice to remove adhered polymers without abrasion.
Sweeping and scrubbing robots for pellet factories
Autonomous units collect fine dust and granules, keeping the plant safe.
