For decades, ASCO CARBON DIOXIDE LTD and its ASCOJET Dry Ice Blasting Technology has been offering a high-performance and gentle cleaning process to countless companies. Traditional Swiss company ABB also counts on ASCOJET when it comes to automatically removing silicon release agent from insulator base bodies with the help of a special construction.

ASCO looks back on a successful and ground-breaking year marked by a number of interesting projects, innovative product launches and a new US office.

To achieve optimum customer support in the US and Canada, Swiss ASCO CARBON DIOXIDE LTD founded the US subsidiary ASCO CARBON DIOXIDE INC (ASCO Inc.) by July this year. The office is to operate out of Jacksonville, FL – USA, and targets to strengthen its market position in the business areas of dry ice blasting and dry ice production.

ASCOJET dry ice blasting technology from ASCO CARBON DIOXIDE LTD has been used for efficient, cost-effective and gentle cleaning of different surfaces in numerous industries for years. Oliver Lucas is owner of CAR FORCE – Autopflege (Berlin/Germany) and explains in subsequent interview why his company bets on ASCOJET when it comes to clean high-priced luxury cars.

ASCO CARBON DIOXIDE LTD is based in Romanshorn (Switzerland) and a solution provider in the wide field of CO₂ and dry ice technology. The Swiss company offers a wide range of ASCOJET dry ice blasting units which allow a gentle and highly efficient cleaning for countless surfaces. Recently, ASCO and WISAG Production Services GmbH in Donaueschingen used the ASCOJET cleaning method for letting blaze a historic steam locomotive in the brilliance of past glories.

HÜTTENES-ALBERTUS is a leading international manufacturer of chemical products for use in all established coremaking and mouldmaking processes in foundries. In cooperation with ASCO CARBON DIOXIDE LTD, a full service provider in the wide range of CO₂ and dry ice blasting technology, new knowledge regarding the removal of coatings of moulds while using dry ice and combination blasting should be obtained. The aim is to pass forward a complete application package containing the gained know-how to the customer.

The Swiss food maker HOCHDORF Swiss Nutrition AG just started to recover approximately 2,200 tons of CO₂ per year and therefore contributes to the reduction of CO₂ emissions in Switzerland. This is made possible due to a carbon dioxide stack gas recovery plant from ASCO CARBON DIOXIDE LTD. Using the latest plant technology, CO₂ out of exhaust of polluting combustion processes will be recovered and reused profitably which reduces the company´s annual CO₂ emissions by 10-15 percent.

The Swiss ASCO CARBON DIOXIDE LTD is exclusive supplier of a CO₂ recovery plant for the new major project of Alco Bio Fuel, industrial gas specialist Messer and IJsfabriek Strombeek. Together, the three companies invest about 15 million euros in a new CO₂ recovery plant at the Port of Ghent.

With the purchase of a new ASCO CO₂ hybrid production plant, one of the most popular food and beverage manufacturers in South Asia, based in Bangladesh, has made a future-proofing investment.
