INTRODUCTION
WHY
DRY ICE BLASTING?
Cold Jet®
dry ice blasting (or CO2 blasting) is a fast, easy and cost-effective
cleaning method that uses high-velocity dry ice (or solid CO2) pellets
to clean surfaces
without damaging equipment or creating new waste streams.
Because of the
temperature difference between the dry ice particles (-109°Fahrenheit
/ -78.3°Centigrade) and the surface being treated, thermal shock
occurs during the dry ice blasting process. This breaks down the
bond between the substrate and the contaminant to be removed from
it. The dry ice vaporizes on impact,
so no secondary waste stream is created.
A number of
industries worldwide have discovered the advantages of this precision
cleaning process. Applications range from heavy slag removal to
delicate semiconductor and circuit board cleaning.
Dry
ice blasting by Cold Jet® lets you:
- remove
adhesives, lubricants, paints and other substances from products
and equipment without damaging the substrate
- clean
assembled components and equipment, eliminating teardown/rebuild
time
- reduce
hazardous waste streams by replacing chemical solvents
-
improve maintenance of sensors and computer components, tooling,
hot ovens, conveyor rollers, spray booths and more
- manage
downtime
by cleaning your equipment on line
Cold
Jetting is a dry, nonabrasive, non-conductive process that leaves
no residual media to clean up. It’s
the pure and powerful solution for your cleaning and maintenance
needs.
