1. A method of cleaning an inner wall of at least one mold part of a mold having at least two parts which can be displaced relative to one another along an axis and, in a closed state, form a complete mold, comprising the steps of:
- creating a displacement along the axis between the two mold parts;
introducing a casing and a movable blasting device between the mold parts;
forming a chamber which is bounded by the casing and the mold parts;
producing a cleaning jet which comprises dry-ice pellets and a carrier medium from a blasting nozzle of the blasting device and;

Abstract
A method for cleaning an inner wall of a mold part includes forming a chamber between displaced mold parts by introducing a casing between the mold parts. The casing enclosures a blasting device for introducing a blasting nozzle which directs a cleaning jet at the inner wall. The chamber encapsulates noise and particles which are produced during the cleaning process.
