Advantages of Dry Ice Blast Cleaning
Dry ice blasting uses non-toxic, non-hazardous, high-density dry ice pellets in a high velocity airflow to blast away unwanted surface materials, On Impact, the pellets instantly sublimate without generating any secondary waste, so dry ice blasting is a cleaner way to clean. Dry ice blasting also meets EPA JSDA, and FDA guidelines.
Less clean-up waste
Frequently the "clean-up" from your current cleaning methods is worse than the problem itself. See Skip Cleanup Problems. Dry ice blasting solves that problem by eliminating your secondary waste. Dry ice pellets do the job, then simply disappear eliminating the high disposal costs associated with other materials.
Extended equipment life
Dry ice pellets used in dry ice blasting reduce the equipment and component wear that normally occurs with the use of conventional blast media such as sand, glass beads and walnut shells.
Clean in place
Save time, cost, and labor by cleaning equipment in place. With dry ice blasting disassembly can be largely eliminated. This reduces the chances of damaging equipment during disassembly, reduces injury and fatigue of workers, and saves valuable hours or days by reducing downtime.
Clean more thoroughly with dry ice blasting
Dry ice blast cleaning can reach places that other methods cannot, such as nooks and crannies that are difficult to reach with brushes or chemicals.
Reduce or eliminate damage to equipment
Dry ice blasting won't pit or abrade surfaces like other blasting techniques such as sand, glass beads or walnut shells. Dry ice blast cleaning is non-abrasive because as the dry ice pellets strike the surface to be cleaned, they immediately become soft and sublimate after loosening the contaminant from the parts to be cleaned.
Save space – No need for a dedicated cleaning area
Dry ice blast unit are portable, so they go to where the equipment to be cleaned is located, instead of bringing the equipment to the cleaning area.
A safe cleaning environment
Dry ice is non-toxic, unlike many solvents used in the cleaning industry, such as TCA. The non-toxic dry ice blasting system will significantly decrease employee exposure to hazardous chemical agents and other dangerous cleaning methods. Health risks are reduced, and operator safety is enhanced, creating a safer environment overall.
Dry cleaning
Dry ice blasting cleans thoroughly and leaves your equipment dry. It works without chemical solvents, without lubricants and without water, so it's the perfect cleaning solution for electrical equipment or other water-sensitive applications.
Non-polluting and environmentally friendly
As a cleaning agent, dry is simply disappearing after it's used in dry ice blast cleaning. Read about dry ice for more information on the properties of dry ice. Dry is doesn't become a toxic waste or a disposal problem like many popular cleaning solvents.
Inhibits bacteria & mold growth
Dry ice is a natural bacterial and fungal growth inhibitor because it's – 109 degrees Fahrenheit, which kills bacteria and mold (FUNGI) upon contact. When you clean with dry ice blasting, you're also disinfecting.
