LOWER COSTS


Reduced Downtime
A machine can often be cleaned by dry ice blasting while in operation, thus eliminating the need for dismantling and subsequent re-assembly. This is of considerable economic importance as downtime can be eliminated or drastically reduced.

No Waste Disposal Costs
Costs connected with the disposal of hazardous chemicals or solvents are saved because dry ice vaporises on contact with the surface being treated. Only the dislodged coating material must be removed from beneath the treated object.

Reduced Payroll Costs
Dry ice blasting will reduce cleaning and maintenance payroll costs to a fraction of current levels because the process is more effective and faster than traditional cleaning methods.

Reduced Equipment Wear and Tear
Dry ice blasting is non-abrasive. Surfaces are therefore treated very gently, and wear and tear resulting from the use of steel brushes, scrapers and the like is avoided.

TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES


Fast and Effective Cleaning
Dry ice blasting systems have extremely high cleaning speeds, and even normally inaccessible parts can be rapidly cleaned using the wide range of nozzles available. Blasting material residues do not become trapped in every nook and cranny, and no detergent or blasting material is left on chains and drives.

Dry ice blasting is ideal for cleaning machinery, electrical installations, electro-mechanical equipment, surfaces and moulds.


Reduced Equipment Wear and Tear
Dry ice blasting is non-abrasive. Surfaces are therefore treated very gently, and wear and tear resulting from the use of steel brushes, scrapers and the like is avoided.


THE ENVIRONMENT


Environment-friendly
Dry ice is completely non-toxic. As no hazardous chemicals or solvents are used in dry ice blasting, operators avoid being exposed to hazardous fumes and other dangers during cleaning. In contrast to high-pressure hosing, polluted drain water is avoided.

Easy Waste Management
The quantity of waste material is minimized because the blasting material vaporizes.
