ABOUT COLD JET®
HISTORY
Since its inception
in 1986, Cold Jet has pioneered the research and development of
dry ice blasting and is setting the standard for quality, performance
and reliability in the field. Cold Jet is now recognized as the
technological leader in its field, receiving the Canadian Standards
Association (CSA) certification for both design and equipment. With
this stringent industrial certification, Cold Jet systems have been
commercially introduced worldwide. In addition, Cold Jet has received
international certifications, most notably from the German TUV and
Japanese HPGCL. Domestically, Cold Jet's carbon dioxide systems
meet all USDA, FDA and EPA guidelines.
Over the last
few years Cold Jet has focused its product development on systems
designed for flexibility and mobility in the manufacturing environment.
With the introduction of our portable equipment, dry ice blast units
can now be manually moved from jobsite to jobsite.
Cold Jet remains
committed to providing its customers with the highest level of convenience
and security that only comes with a company dedicated solely to
all your cleaning needs. With an extensive global distribution and
