Dry Ice Cleaning Machine

The dry ice cleaning machine achieves a high-level polishing effect. All components used are of high quality. The meticulously developed metering technology ensures reliable sandblasting without any ice remaining on the machine. The dry ice cleaning machine is designed for continuous operation. Its reliability has been verified through numerous tests, including field and durability tests. The airflow under the base has been optimized to guide available compressed air through the machine to the nozzle, achieving low loss. Through the IB base, even with lower pressure and gas consumption (3.5 m³/min), it can achieve a good cleaning effect. Another advantage of this low resource consumption is low noise. For instance, at a sandblasting pressure of 5 bar, the noise level is approximately 80 dB(A). The base is equipped with an ice residue emptying device. This allows for the removal of any remaining dry ice from the tank with just a button press after operation, preventing the machine from freezing. The new dry ice cleaning machine also features an integrated oil-water separator for reliable operation. The sandblasting pressure and ice feed speed can be adjusted via buttons, with the set values displayed on the screen. Additionally, statistics such as running time, average ice consumption per hour, and total ice consumption can be accessed. The adjustment of ice feed speed and sandblasting pressure can be locked using a key switch.

■Technical Description

■Technical Data

Washing Principle

By combining the thermodynamic principle of thermal expansion and contraction with the kinetic effect of air compression, the mold surface experiences a micro-explosion phenomenon, thereby allowing the dirt to be quickly stripped off after it becomes brittle.

■Cleaning Effect

Dirty molds, parts, or equipment are often difficult to clean. Issue: Sandblasting leaves sand or glass particles. This usually means an additional cleaning step is required after cleaning. High-performance dry ice cleaning machines eliminate this problem. After sandblasting, dry ice particles will completely sublimate into CO2, achieving the cleaning effect.

Advantages of Dry Ice Blast Cleaning Technology

No pre-cleaning preparation is required before washing.
Cleaning requires no disassembly of equipment. Dry ice pellets can easily enter into corners and crevices.

Reduce equipment downtime due to malfunctions
Quick and effective cleaning with dry ice.

Eco-friendly cleaning
No additional chemicals or sprays required

·No surface damage

· No residues
Dry ice sublimates to CO2. No abrasive or wastewater residue.

The dry ice cleaning machine propels dry ice particles at speeds exceeding 150 m/s using compressed air. The low temperature of -79°C condenses dirt and makes it brittle. The high-speed particles then easily remove the dirt. This is a particularly effective, gentle method for cleaning almost all types of dirt.

Cleanliness = Temperature x Speed

During the manufacturing process, first, liquid CO2 is introduced into the granulator's compression cylinder, then crystallized into dry ice snowflakes through pressure reduction. The dry ice snowflakes are then compressed through the extrusion plate using a hydraulic cylinder. This forms columnar dry ice, which is subsequently crushed into dry ice granules.

From CO2 to Dry Ice

Washing methods suitable for all industries

Dry ice cleaning machines do not use any cleaning agents or chemicals. They are suitable for all fields where the use of water or sand for cleaning is legally prohibited. Since dry ice pellets sublime into gas, there are no residues or wastewater.

Steel, metals, and machinery manufacturing

Using dry ice cleaning machines makes it very easy to perform deep cleaning and maintenance cleaning on production equipment, welding robots, belt conveyors, and spray booths.

Printing Factory

After dry ice blasting cleaning, all printing equipment, cylinders, and tools look as new.

Wood and electrical industries

Dry ice blasting is also ideal for cleaning woodworking machinery, generators, turbines, and control panels.

Plastic and Packaging Industry

Dry ice cleaning machines can remove silicone, rubber, dyes, paints, and other contaminants from injection molds and production lines.

Automotive industry, foundry and injection molding plants

The dry ice cleaning machine can remove adhesives and release agents from all types of parts and workpieces. Residues such as silicone resin, rubber, dyes, paints, and release agents can be easily cleaned from injection molds, tools, and the entire production line. The cleaning effect leaves no residue.

Food Industry

Dry ice cleaning machines are ideally suited for removing coking, aged deposits, scale, grease, and starch from filling and mixing equipment, production lines, handling systems, tanks, and heating furnaces.

Papermaking Industry

In the paper industry, gels, lime, dust, and porous materials can accumulate in the system. This can lead to equipment downtime and a decline in paper quality. Dry ice blasting technology can clean the system more quickly, allowing it to be immediately reused.

Local authorities and city governments

Graffiti and chewing gum: a problem many cities and municipalities face. This calls for a cleaning method that can thoroughly but gently wash walls and floors, such as dry ice cleaning machines. They can remove dirt without damaging the surface.

■Compatibility of dry ice blast cleaning environment

Harmless material

Dry ice blasting cleaning does not use any toxic or environmentally harmful chemicals or solvents. This means it does not release any toxic or harmful vapors, thus eliminating the risk of harmful substances affecting employee health.

Easy to post-process

After dry ice blast cleaning, no abrasive residue is left. Deposited dirt falls to the ground, making it easy to sweep up. Only the dirt generated during the cleaning process requires post-treatment. In contrast, chemicals and solvents used for cleaning produce difficult-to-handle hazardous waste.

No secondary waste

In sandblasting, soda blasting, and water jet cleaning, the blasting materials used to remove harmful dirt can also generate hazardous waste. These cleaning processes produce a substantial amount of secondary waste, in

In some cases, these waste materials must be handled with great care, and the cost of waste disposal is also very high.

Generate CO2

CO2 is a byproduct of other industrial production processes. For instance, CO2 is generated during the combustion process at power plants and through fermentation techniques.

That's why there's no longer a need for dedicated CO2 manufacturing in industrialized nations; the generation of CO2 from fossil fuel combustion is now a thing of the past.
