Soiled moulds, parts or machines are often difficult to clean. The problem: sandblasting can leave spray agent such as sand or glass granulate. This often means having to clean after cleaning. This is no longer necessary with the high-performance ice blasters from Kärcher. After blasting, the dry ice pellets dissolve completely into carbon dioxide (CO2). The result is perfect cleanliness.
Advantages of dry ice blasting
- No preparation required prior to cleaning
No need to disassemble machines for cleaning. The pellets easily reach into even the smallest nooks and crannies. - Minimal machine downtimes
thanks to fast and effective cleaning with dry ice. - Environmentally-friendly cleaning
without additional chemicals or spray agents. Surfaces are not damaged. - No residues
Dry ice sublimates completely to CO2. There are no residues such as abrasives or waste water.
Cleanliness = cold x velocity
The ice blaster uses compressed air to propel the 3-mm dry ice pellets to the high velocity of over 150 m/s. The cold temperature of -79°C freezes the dirt and causes it to crack. The dry ice pellets ejected at a high speed can then remove the dirt easily. This is an especially effective method of gently removing virtually all types of dirt.
