An Eco-Friendly Way to Clean
The Cold Jet AERO40FP dry ice blasting machine, available for rental or purchase from Irish Carbonic, is an economical and eco-friendly method for cleaning and surface preparation.
This dry ice blaster uses recycled solid carbon dioxide (CO2) pellets known as MicroParticles. These are emitted at rapid speeds and sublimate on impact, removing dirt and contaminants from surfaces.
Why a Dry Ice Blaster?
Using a dry ice blaster does not create secondary waste streams or use one of the most precious resources: water. This method is:
- non-abrasive
- non-conductive
- non-toxic
- non-flammable
- chemical-free
- water-free
Uses and Applications
Dry ice blasting is commonly used in industries such as these:
- aerospace and aviation
- automotive
- contact cleaning
- food & beverage
- plastics & composites
- restoration
- textiles
Common applications within these industries include:
- adhesive removal
- asphalt removal
- automotive restoration
- coatings and corrosion removal
- coffee roaster cleaning
- compositive tool cleaning
- core box cleaning
- general equipment cleaning
- historical restoration
- mold remediation
- nonwoven die cleaning
- parts finishing
- surface preparation
- weld line cleaning
Dry Ice Blaster Safety
Because this type of blasting involves the use of dry ice, there are specific safety precautions that should be followed to ensure all of your employees remain safe. Key precautions include:
- ensuring proper ventilation
- limiting exposure
- identifying and labeling areas where it is possible for CO2 to accumulate
- wearing and utilizing proper PPE such as gloves, eyewear, and tongs
