Danger of congelation
When using the blasting equipment, the operator
must wear long-sleeved industrial clothing in order
to eliminate the risk of congelation by contact be-
tween dry ice and unprotected skin.
read the security card of the dry ice supplier
and follow the instructions given.
Danger of congelation
When using the blasting equipment, the operator
must wear gloves in order to eliminate the risk of
congelation by contact between dry ice and unpro-
tected skin.
read the health and safety data sheet of the
dry ice supplier and follow the instructions
given.
Dust
certain types of dust have a tendency to pulverize
during the cleaning process, and if the amount of
dust developed exceeds 6 mg/m
3
(fine
dust)
the
operator must wear a dust mask.
“ When using the blasting equipment,
the operator must wear gloves in order to
eliminate the risk of being burned. ”

no additional blasting media. ”
UsiNg THe MAcHiNe
the machine is designed to direct a jet of dry ice
pellets onto the object to be cleaned and thus
remove impurities from its surfaces.
as the velocity of the cleaning jet is very high and
the temperature of the dry ice (the cleaning medium)
very low, the operator must be very careful to aim
only
toward the object being cleaned. furthermore,
the operator must take every precaution to prevent
either dry ice from the cleaning jet or cleaned-off
impurities from the object striking any persons or
any other plant.
the machine must not be used in surroundings
where there is a danger of explosion. despite
excellent earthing of both machine and cleaning
object, static electricity can be generated and create
sparking.
the control cabinet (which houses the electrical
controls) must only be opened when the mains con-
nection has been cut off.
the connection between the electrical supply socket
on the blasting gun and the socket on the front of
the machine must only be made
after
the blast-
ing hose for air/dry ice has been connected at both
ends. When removing the blasting hose from the
machine the electrical supply must be cut off
before
hose separation.
MAcHiNe oPerATioN
Via a dispensing system, the machine takes dry ice
from a built-in dry ice tank and into an air stream
which propels it through a hose to the nozzle. the
