Dry Ice Blasting - the Cleaning System of the Future

.

Dry ice blasting is a dry and gentle - but extremely efficient - cleaning process

used for innumerable purposes within industrial cleaning, etc. Dry ice blasting

is a process where no blasting media is left after cleaning and where no water,

detergents, chemicals, etc. are involved.

.

Cleaning with dry ice blasting equipment is thus an excellent alternative to cleaning

with traditional equipment - offering the following advantages:

.

-Minimum downtime, cost-saving, fast, effective

-Environmentally-friendly, non-toxic, dry, none-abrasive

-No blasting media to be disposed of after blasting

-CO2 immediately evaporates back into the atmosphere

.

Method

.

The dry ice blasting equipment uses small CO2 "particles" (CO2 = carbon dioxide)

as blasting media, also called Cryo Pellets. The temperature of the Cryo Pellets is

-79°C/-110°F. (Liquid CO2 is used to produce CO2 snow, which under high pressure

is converted into hard and equal pellets ? dims. approx. Ø3x10 mm (rice-size)).

.

The cleaning effect is based on three principles:

-Thermal effect: Due to the low temperature of the Cryo Pellets (-79°C/-110°F)

impurities will be cooled down, shrink and loosen.

.

-Kinetic effect: The kinetic energy of pellets leaving the nozzle of the blasting gun

contributes to removing impurities.

.

-Sublimation effect: When the pellets hit a surface the CO2 is immediately transformed

from its solid state into gas - whereby a volume increase of approx. 700 times tears

away loose/brittle impurities.

.
