Further information about dry ice blasting technology

Dry ice blasting uses recycled CO2 in the form of solid particles (pellets), ejected through high-speed nozzles by means of compressed air onto the surface to be cleaned. The combination of the kinetic and heat energy of the dry ice breaks the bond between the contaminant and the object cleaned. The dry ice particles turn into gaseous form on contact with the contaminant. They sublimate, literally making the contaminant disappear without trace and without any secondary waste from the blasting agent. The most important result is high-quality cleaning without any risk of damage to the clean surface. In this blasting process the contaminant literally evaporates and is eliminated without trace.

Dry ice systems use less raw materials, energy and air than any other blasting system on the market. They only require a minimum of maintenance, leaving customers free to focus on their main area of business without wasting valuable time on non-intrinsic activities like cleaning and exposing their workers to the unhealthy effects of the chemicals used in conventional cleaning methods.

Uses of dry ice blasting

With the effectiveness, broad range of application and high quality obtained by dry ice blasting, customers can improve their profits as they will no longer have to spend innumerable hours cleaning with rags and sandpaper and scraping and cleaning with chemicals and solvents. Dry ice blasting systems do not produce any secondary waste.

The broad range of uses of dry ice blasting systems make this method universal while ensuring a high quality service. Dry ice blasting is suitable for use in industry, energy generation, telecommunications, post-disaster rehabilitation of infrastructures and equipment, building restoration, preserving and maintaining works of art and museum exhibits, etc.

Dry ice blasting can be used for electrical switchboards, transformers and live insulators, eliminating the need to cut off the power supply (as dry ice does not conduct electricity), ensuring uninterrupted service to public utility consumers.

Using dry ice for general facility maintenance

Dust, soot, grease and oil and all kinds of contaminants that build up on production facilities result in incorrect machinery operation and can create an unhealthy and hazardous working environment and an increased risk of technical failure. Effective cleaning lengthens the service life of the equipment, reduces or eliminates the need for expensive repairs and problems related to replacing or renting external equipment.

Dry ice jet blasting equipment provides a solution for quick, safe, non-toxic, non-abrasive, non-conductive and inexpensive cleaning of all kinds of facilities, industrial equipment, machine tools and production line equipment, eliminating the need for disassembly and/or moving the cleaning equipment. Every part of the production process can be cleaned in the course of work with no need for cooling or cutting off the power supply beforehand.

As dry ice particles are relatively soft and non-aggressive in comparison with other blasting materials (such as sand and slag), they offer gentle, but highly effective non-abrasive cleaning that improves the appearance of the equipment and extends the service life of your assets. It can also be used for effective cleaning without damaging the surface, even in the case of serious contamination by chemicals, paint and petroleum products, including of delicate equipment with sensitive areas such as sensors, circuit boards, detectors, electrical equipment, automated systems, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, cables, etc

Dry ice jet blasting provides:

• High-quality environmentally friendly cleaning
• Decontaminated and hygienic production surfaces
• On-location cleaning method with no need for disassembly, cooling or cutting off the power supply
• Reduced production downtime for cleaning
• No secondary waste - waste-free process
• Non-abrasive process that does not damage the cleaned surface
• Effective elimination of bacteria (mold, listeria, salmonella, e-coli and many others)
• Improved operator safety

Proven uses of jet blasting with dry ice:

• General and production equipment
• Facades, ceilings and walls, pipework routes
• Degreasing
• Cleaning surfaces before painting
• Electric forklift trucks, hoists, cranes, electric motors
• Lift Trucks/Electrical junction boxes/Rollers
• Control panels and electrical switchboards
• pumps, pipes, hoses and fittings
• Conveyor belts and rollers
• Cooling fans and refrigerator compressors
• Hydraulic and pneumatic components
• Robotics and electronics

There are innumerable uses for dry ice providing solutions for complex tasks in different areas with considerable success.
