Blast Cleaning

CO2 dry ice used in blast cleaning equipment

Dry ice-based blast cleaning is fast, economical and environmentally friendly. It does not cause any damage to either the surface that is being cleaned, or its electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic components. It works by blasting special dry ice-pellets into the surface that is to be cleaned at high velocity, so as to break down and remove any contamination.
Unlike conventional methods, blast cleaning with dry ice allows tools or moulds to be cleaned while mounted on site, thus decreasing the downtime of production lines.

Blast cleaning with CO2 is also efficient for the electronics industry. When introduced with a low-pressure air stream, carbon dioxide in its snow or solid dry ice particle forms is used in conjunction with DIBC equipment to clean a multitude of surface contaminants from all types of electrical equipment, from motor windings and switching gear to delicate printed circuit boards. Not only does the process benefit from being gentle and non-abrasive, but it also offers the opportunity to clean electrical systems while live, since the process is dry and moisture-free.
