“ Dry ice pellets are non-toxic,
non-abrasive and free of moisture.
Therefore, dry ice
blasting is applicable for a large
number of industries. ”
geNerAL iNforMATioN
the dry ice blasting machine and its accessories
have been developed with the aim of supplying
cleaning equipment which will minimise conse-
quential cleaning costs, and which also combines
the best characteristics of sand blasting and steam
cleaning.
the dry ice process provides the dry cleaning
process familiar in steam cleaning where thermal
effects loosen impurities. the dry ice blasting
machine now developed offers equipment which
with a totally dry cleaning process not only removes
impurities from the surfaces being cleaned; it also
leaves no waste products. the blasting/cleaning
medium itself evaporates. this means that in most
cases the process can be used for cleaning machin-
ery – without dismantling, and as a rule without
having to cover adjacent plant.
cleaning in industry
in industrial processes it is often impossible to avoid
production apparatus from getting dirty, with the
consequent impairment of production reliability,
product quality, and the safety of personnel.
thus, regular and preventive cleaning of production
apparatus becomes part of many company plans to
achieve problem-free production.
production and maintenance crews all over the
world therefore constantly seek cleaning methods
which increase product quality, which are
cost-saving, and which at the same time are
environmentally sound. in today’s high-tech and
often highly automated plant, traditional cleaning
methods are not always the optimum.
they place extra load on machines, personnel and
the environment, or involve extensive dismantling to
ensure that cleaning will not cause damage. dry ice
blasting provides a gentle, dry and
efficient
cleaning
process that leaves no waste products behind it, i.e.
undesired substances that might penetrate into or
be deposited on machine components.
this means that cleaning by dry ice blasting
becomes an excellent alternative to cleaning with
traditional equipment.
