It Can Replace Steam Or Water Blasting

Steam and Water Blasting has its place, but Dry Ice Blasting may be a better alternative for you:

  • This is a dry process - electrical parts and generators can be immediately put back into service used without waiting to dry.
  • Radioactive contaminate removal doesn't require large storage containers for contaminated water.
  • Mildew and mold removal are far more complete with less chance of regeneration because of water vapor or moisture.
  • Dry ice blasting removes more algae, sea slime, and mussels on boat hulls, than water blasting, which allows the organic matter to reattach sooner.

 

It’s Environmentally Friendly

  • Replaces many environmentally damaging solvents.
  • Since dry ice evaporates completely as a gas it leaves no waste. Only the material being removed must be disposed of.
  • When dry ice blasting replaces hazardous chemical cleaners the disposal cost of that chemical is eliminated.

 

It's Safe

  • Protects surface integrity and avoids grit entrapment, making it an effective alternative to abrasive grit blasting.
  • No residue or secondary waste to clean, so you can use it with food processing equipment.
  • Eliminating toxic chemicals and harmful emissions makes dry ice blast blasting environmentally safe, and it reduces employee health risks.
  • Non-flammable
  • Non-explosive
  • Non-abrasive

 

It's Economical

  • Dry ice is readily available
  • Eliminates cleanup costs resulting from toxic chemicals or gritty cleaning
  • Reduces the labor costs of manual maintenance
  • Slashes or eliminates waste disposal costs
  • Lets you bring cleaning equipment on-site, further reducing your costs

 

It Improves Productivity

  • Can extend equipment life
  • Increases equipment operating availability
  • Eliminates equipment disassembly and masking before cleaning
  • Reduces cleaning time — which also lowers costs
