CO2 Cleaning


Dry ice cleaning is an industrial cleaning system that is non-abrasive, non-toxic and dries completely with no residual blast media cleanup. This cleaning method can be used in almost all industries to eliminate a variety of surface contaminates from steel, glass, aluminum, plastic, chrome and electrical circuit boards.

Why use CO2 dry ice cleaning?

Reduce Downtime - It is a quick and efficient cleaning method that can be performed on-line while equipment is in place without the need for disassembly, drying or cooldown time, therefore increasing productivity.

Extends Tool Life - It is a non-abrasive and non-corrosive procedure allowing tool life to be extended. Eliminates damage cased by cleaning with grinders, wire wheels or grit blasting while preserving critical tolerances.


Vent Before and After CO2 Cleaning Removing Build-up with CO2 Cleaning
  • No Disassembly
  • No Solvents
  • No Hand Scrubbing
  • No Equipment Damage
  • No Drying Time

Clean and Environmentally Safe - Since dry ice particles evaporate on contact, facilities using CO2 dry ice cleaning minimize waste volumes, eliminate use of toxic chemicals and hazardous solvents therefore reducing disposal costs.

Versatile - It can be performed in many diverse applications such as delicate wiring and high-tech electronics to industrial turbine and foundry core boxes.


Equipment


Compact, portable air-driven units make accessibility easy. Dry ice particles are propelled by compressed air onto soiled surfaces. The solid dry ice particles expand on impact with the surface. The particles then evaporate into a harmless gas resulting in a clean, dry, intact surface with no toxic waste to remove.

When the particles make contact with dry contaminants such as paint, a compression tension wave is created between the coating and the surface. The wave overcomes the bonding strength between the two and lifts the coating off from the inside out. If the contaminant is a slippery viscous coating such as oil, grease, or wax, the particles compress and balloon out flushing away the coating.
