Increased productivity and economic efficiency, stricter conditions for environmental protection, and employee safety when technological equipment is cleaned and maintained requires more modern technologies to be applied.
Dry ice cleaning ideally meets these requirements and becomes an important alternative to conventional cleaning procedures. Blasting machines with dry ice saves a significant amount of time since it is not necessary to disassemble and subsequently reassemble machine parts – including electronics/electrical items
Cleaning using Toxic Solvents
Generally after treatment, solvents require separate disposal.
Halogenated hydrocarbons and other cleaning additives have adverse effects on health and the environment.
Dry ice is non-toxic. The use of toxic solvents is often restricted by law – and disposal is strictly controlled
No legal restrictions are placed on the use of dry ice.
Abrasive Blasting
Glass balls or abrasive granulate...
Using abrasive media can damage the surfaces of cleaned parts and reduces their service life. Dry ice pellets are non-abrasive and extremely gentle to cleaned surfaces.
Unremoved blasting medium residue can significantly impair production processes.
Dry ice pellets evaporate immediately during cleaning.
Residues after blasting require separate disposal.
Dry ice cleaning generates no secondary waste – dry ice sublimes immediately in use
High-Pressure Water Jet
High-pressure water jet (up to 10,000psi) surfaces of materials to be cleaned
Dry ice pellets are non-abrasive and do not cause any damage
High-pressure water cleaning is unsuitable for cleaning electrical systems.
Dry ice is non-conductive and therefore suitable for cleaning electrical systems and equipment.
Water and residues released by water jet cleaning must be disposed of separately.
Dry ice cleaning generates no secondary waste.
Conventionally cleaned areas and equipment require a long drying time.
Dry ice cleaning is a dry process, needs no drying time
