Dry ice blasting has significant efficiency as it improves productivity and optimizes costs. Due to the importance of the industrial cleaning of machines, surfaces, and industrial plants quality, so this operation technology is the ideal method for specialized cleaning, as it leaves no residue, cleans without causing fire or electrical hazards, and often does not require disassembly.
What is the Dry ice blasting technology?
It is an innovative cleaning process which is perfectly suited for the industrial cleaning industry. It works by targeting surfaces with accelerated dry ice (solid CO2) in a pressurized air stream. Meanwhile, this process is a non-abrasive cleaning technology that takes off all the unwanted substances without damaging fragile equipment. Moreover, it prevents employee and passenger disclosure of potentially harmful chemical cleaning agents.
The key benefits
- Provide effective cleaning methods without using water and chemicals.
- Improve the uptime through the in-situ cleaning form.
- Conduct the entire cleaning process without damaging the substrate.
- No need for further requirement to dissemble the equipment or to let it cool down.
- All hazardous solvents will get removed.
- No residue left after the completion of the cleaning process.
- Safe to use on any type of electrical component.
The advantages Dry ice blasting technology
- Powerful but gentle: It method. Unlike steel brushes or scrapers, it does not damage materials and ensures optimum blasting result.
- Cost effective: It provides the optimum cleaning in less time. No interruptions of production and no expensive disposal of hazardous waste.
- Time Saving: As this technology is dry and non-harsh, it can be applied directly onto the object to be cleaned. The process time can be reduced to the minimum as cooling or, conversely, heating of tools is not necessary which saves valuable time.
- Environment friendly: This cleaning method is non-toxic, there is no sewage or cleaning and filtration of wastewater as the pellets change to a gaseous form on impact. There is no need to dispose of the cleaning media and no contamination by hazardous additives and chemicals.
- Safety: It is a dry and non-conductive cleaning process. Due to the elimination of using solvents and hazardous chemicals, dry ice blasting technology is safer for the environment.
- The equipment is light, easy to carry, low in maintenance, reliable and easy to work.
Dry ice blasting Applications:
It is an efficient method to clean equipment or surfaces without chemical residues. Therefore, this cleaning technology has been used for years in a wide variety of industrial sectors, for example but not limited to:
- Plastics Industry:
The Dry ice blasting technology is suitable for gentle mold and tool cleaning (molds for PU production and injection molds etc).
- Foundries Industry:
As in many industrial sectors, mold and tool cleaning is of utmost importance as this not only increases the quality, but also optimizes productivity and costs.
- Rubber Industry:
Dry ice blasting is ideal for gentle mold and tool cleaning especially for tire mold.
- Food Industry:
The cleaning process of machines, surfaces, tools, and molds is necessary in the manufacturing process to ensure compliance with hygiene regulations and increase quality and productivity.
- Industrial Cleaning
Dry ice blasting technology significantly improves efficiency and productivity and optimizes costs, so the cleaning quality of molds, machines, tools, conveyors, and extruders is of utmost importance.
