Blasting Dry Ice Particles
For optimum performance while blast cleaning:
y
Position the MicroClean 2 and blast hose to prevent kinking and allow for maximum
maneuverability.
y
Hold the nozzle perpendicular to surface being cleaned at a distance of 2-6 inches
(5-15 cm).
y
To find the optimum feed rate, start at 0 and gradually increase until the desired cleaning
result and/or cleaning performance is achieved.
y
Use a lower feed rate when the air pressure in is below 50 psi (3.4 bar).
Follow the instructions below to start blasting dry ice particles:
1. On the precision applicator, press the air/ice control (II) to activate (green light ON).
2. It is recommended to start blasting next to the target (but in a safe place) and move onto the

full, yellow is half-full, and red is empty.
