Dry Ice Blasting

Dry ice blasting machines

The patented technology integrated in to the CRYONOMIC blasting machines provide unequaled performances with limited air consumption. This technology has the advantage of reducing wear out and maintenance. Thanks to the unique self-regulating airlock system, a constant and regular dry ice flow are guaranteed. No oil is required and only one sealer disc is needed in the blaster which results in cost savings.

What is dry ice blasting?

Also known as cryogenic cleaning, dry ice blasting or cleaning is a technique that uses dry ice pellets for cleaning without water, cleaning without chemicals, or replacing the manual cleaning job. The very low temperature of the pellets (-78°C or -109°F) causes the contamination to freeze and contract resulting in the easy detachment of the contaminant from the substrate. On impact, the pellets vaporize to carbon dioxide gas and an increase in volume by a factor of 700. Due to this expansion, the contaminant is lifted and separated from the base material. The pellets vaporize to carbon dioxide gas on impact, which means that only the original contaminant is left for disposal. This natural evaporation is a major advantage of this cleaning method.

Advantages of dry ice cleaning

■

It can be used anywhere where water, sand, chemicals, or other cleaning agents are not allowed or applicable.
■

Generates up-time: substantially reducing downtime by eliminating the need to strip down and reassemble machinery parts.
■

Eliminates the need for detergents or chemicals to degrease.
■

Is non-abrasive compared to sand and grit blasting or cleaning with brushes.
■

Environmentally friendly: the removal of stubborn contaminated layers without generating waste, the dry ice simply disappears.
■

Compact and versatile: the cleaning equipment can be taken to the large object to be cleaned, not the other way round.

Selecting a dry ice blaster

The choice of the most suitable dry ice blaster should be based on a short analysis of the desired application of the unit. We distinguish 3 types of applications:

Focalized up to medium size cleaning (Blaster COB62/62+/71)
Very fast cleaning equipment with long hoses for large surfaces (Blaster COMBI71/72/73)
Dry ice gritblasting (Blaster COB62+/71 or COMBI with abrasive module)
