Dry Ice Blasting SHOULD Be Used When
There Is A Concern For:
- Surface Abrasion
- Avoidance of Drainage into Watershed/Storm Drains
- Avoidance of Sand/Grit Entrapment
- Difficult or Excessive Cleanup
- Complexity of the Surface
- Critical Production Downtime
- Elimination of Solvents/Chemicals
- Elimination of Rinsing and Drying
- Delicate Electrical Wiring
Typical cleaning procedures require that equipment be disassembled and moved to an assigned area for proper cleaning. That is not the case with dry ice blasting. Equipment can be cleaned in-place and hot in most situations. Because of that, many time-consuming, labor-intensive steps, which were required with other methods such as sand blasting, can be eliminated including:
Cool down
Disassembly
Transport of the equipment to and from a dedicated cleaning area
Reassembly
Reheating time
Dry ice blasting can shorten the downtime for cleaning from days down to hours.
