The cryogenic cleaning is an increasingly popular industrial cleaning method.
This is an effective and cost-effective method for businesses to increase production and product quality.What is Dry Ice Blasting?Dry ice blasting is similar to sandblasting, plastic bead blasting, or soda blasting, in which particles are accelerated by a stream of compressed air to impact the surface to clean or prepare.
But this is where the similarity between these methods ends.Rather than using a heavy abrasive to impact the surface (causing damage), cryogenic blasting uses a surface-gentle dry ice that accelerates the particles to supersonic speed and strikes the surface to remove debris, creating a small explosive effect.Cryogenic blasting is a unique technique that has many advantages over conventional blasting methodsCryogenic blasting is:Non-abrasive, fireproof and non-contact cleaning methodAn environmentally friendly method that does not emit secondary pollutants (such as solvents or abrasive particles)Safe and approved for use in the food industryA method in which most surfaces can be cleaned without disassembling the structure, which reduces processing timeA method that does not damage active electrical or mechanical elements and there is no danger of a fire hazardA method that can be used to remove industrial waste, greases, contaminants, paint, oil and biofilmA method that can be gentle enough to remove grime from books and powerful enough to clean welding slag from tools and also the cryogenic cleaning Method suitable for most cases where cleaning is required.In dry ice blasting systems, compressed air is used to accelerate particles of frozen carbon dioxide (CO 2, dry ice pellets) to high speeds.
Carbon dioxide isa non-toxic liquefied gas that is inexpensive and does not require special storage conditions at production facilities.What affects the quality of ice?If freshly made granules are used in the cleaning process, the process is significantly accelerated.
The density of dry ice begins to decrease after several days of storage.
For this reason, more old dry ice will be needed for the same area than new.SustainabilityThe use of blast cleaning completely eliminates the use of toxic chemicals.
