CRYOGENIC BLASTING can enhance your business efficiency and increase your PRODUCT ’s VALUE
REDUCE DOWNTIME
Quicker than other cleaning methods. It doesn’t require dry or cool downtimes.
IMPROVE YOUR PRODUCT’S QUALITY
Working with cleaner machinery results in BETTER PRODUCTS, but also in
higher production quality with plant efficiency and less waste.
INCREASE EFFICIENCY
There is NO need for disassembly. You clean without interrupting your production line.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
DRY ICE is obtained from reclaimed CARBON DIOXIDE. Eliminates need for chemicals during the cleaning process.
NO SECONDARY WASTE
DRY ICE BLASTING reduces the amount of secondary waste for disposal.
NON-ABRASIVE
This cleaning method does NOT harm the substrates.
NON-TOXIC AND NON-CONDUCTIVE
CO2 is NON toxic and, more importantly, NON-conductive. Therefore it can be used to clean online and with the flow directed on electrical systems.
LESS INTERVENTION TIME
Fewer operators and less intervention and handling time.
OPERATOR SAFE
The work environment is safer due to the reduction of disassembly operations
and use of chemicals and to the increasing of the visibility of controls and
safety signs.
How does it work?
Dry ice
Dry ice is solid state CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) at a temperature of 78.5 C. Carbon dioxide is an odorless and non-toxic gas.
The principle of dry ice blasting
Dry ice pellets are directed from the machine’s hopper into a metering device and then extruded by compressed air.
The particular structure of the nozzle of the gun extrudes pellets up to 300m/sec, projecting them to the surface to be cleaned.
By mechanical effect, pellets penetrate the dirt layer and, by thermal effect, sublimate expanding its volume up to 500 times. This results in the detachment of the layer from the support without any abrasion.
During this process, solid dry ice pellets are transformed into gas without leaving any trace except for the removed residue.
No other cleaning or abrasive substances are used together with dry ice.
