Dry Ice Blasting Machine Rentals

Does your current cleaning process work as good? 

Dry ice blasting is the superior alternative to Media Blasting, Solvents, Water, Steam, Hand Cleaning, Chemicals and Abrasives

 

 

Top 10 Reasons Dry Ice Blasting is superior: 

1.   Superior clean: fewer cleaning cycles = less downtime 

2.   Machines can be cleaned in place: dry ice blasting is a dry process and requires no disassemble/reassembly which means much less downtime 

3.   Quicker clean: less resource = more runtime = more profits 

4.   Non-abrasive, nonflammable and nonconductive: dry ice blasting won't damage most substrates and can be used safely on electrical components 

5.   No secondary waste cleanup: this not only saves additional cleanup labor and expense, but also means temporary containment areas can possibly be reused - an additional cost savings 

6.   Can get into tight spaces that many other methods can not 

7.   Environmentally friendly: meets USDA, FDA and EPA guidelines 

8.   Operator safety: no exposure to chemicals or grit media 

9.   Operator efficiency: not as labor intensive as traditional cleaning methods

* Upon contact, traditional blasting materials become contaminated when used to clean hazardous substances and objects. These blasting materials are also then classified as toxic waste and require appropriate safe disposal.

 

What is Dry Ice Blasting? 

Dry ice blasting is similar to sand blasting, plastic bead blasting, or soda blasting where a medium is accelerated in a pressurized air stream to impact a surface to be cleaned or prepared. But that's where the similarity ends. 

 

Instead of using hard abrasive media to grind on a surface (and damage it), dry ice blasting uses soft dry ice, accelerated at supersonic speeds, and creates mini-explosions on the surface to lift the undesirable item off the underlying substrate.

 

Dry ice blasting has many unique and superior benefits over traditional blasting media. 

Dry ice blasting: 

·         is a non-abrasive, nonflammable and nonconductive cleaning method 

·         is environmentally-friendly and contains no secondary contaminants such as solvents or grit media 

·         is clean and approved for use in the food industry 

·         allows most items to be cleaned in place without time-consuming disassembly 

·         can be used without damaging active electrical or mechanical parts or creating fire hazards 

·         can be used to remove production residues, release agents, contaminants, paints, oils and biofilms 

·         can be as gentle as dusting smoke damage from books or as aggressive as removing weld slag from tooling 

·         can be used for many general cleaning applications 

Dry ice blasting uses compressed air to accelerate frozen carbon dioxide (CO2) "dry ice" pellets to a high velocity. A compressed air supply of 80 PSI/50 scfm can be used in this process. Dry ice pellets can be made on-site or supplied. Pellets are made from food grade carbon dioxide that has been specifically approved by the FDA, the EPA and the USDA. 

Carbon dioxide is a non-poisonous, liquefied gas, which is both inexpensive and easily stored at work sites.
