  • Methods for determining mold replacement timing in slush mold processing
    Patent number: 10166700
    Abstract: In embodiments described herein, it may be determined when to replace a degraded slush mold with a non-degraded slush mold by a method that may comprise monitoring a sample media while repeatedly contacting a surface of the sample media with an abrasive material to determine the number of contactings required to reduce a grain height of the surface of the sample media to a threshold grain height. The repeated contactings of the abrasive solution with the surface of the sample media may reduce the grain height of the sample media. The surface of the sample media may comprise a material substantially identical to the material of at least a portion of a forming surface of the slush mold.
