Efficient and gentle cleaning with dry ice
Industrial Cleaning – Efficient, Precise and Residue-Free
In industrial manufacturing, cleanliness is a crucial factor for quality, process reliability and efficiency. Machines, tools and equipment must be cleaned regularly to maintain their performance and avoid unplanned downtime. At the same time, demands regarding environmental compatibility, occupational safety and hygiene are increasing – conventional cleaning methods using water, sand or chemicals quickly reach their limits.
Dry ice blasting offers a versatile, dry and completely residue-free solution for almost any cleaning task in an industrial environment. In this process, CO₂ in the form of dry ice pellets is accelerated by compressed air and blasted onto the surface to be cleaned. Upon impact, the pellets dislodge dirt, grease or paint and immediately sublimate into gas – without moisture, abrasion or residues.
Wide Range of Applications for Systems and Components
Typical applications include the cleaning of machine housings, press tools, conveyor systems, control cabinets, moulds or production lines whilst they are in operation. Downtime is minimised as no time-consuming dismantling is required. Furthermore, the material remains undamaged, which significantly extends the service life of systems and components.
Dry ice blasting is suitable for both regular maintenance cleaning and deep or refurbishment cleaning – from the removal of old coatings to the cleaning of heavily soiled production areas.
Overview of possible applications:
- Machines and production equipment: Removal of oil, grease, resin, paint and dust residues from presses, punches, rollers, conveyor systems or packaging systems.
- Tools and moulds: Thorough yet gentle cleaning of moulds and tools whilst still in place, without dismantling and without damaging the surface.
- Engines, power units and drive units: Removal of combustion residues, oil, soot or bitumen for maintenance and servicing.
- Conveyor and transport systems: Cleaning of rollers, chains, belts and bearing surfaces to ensure consistent production quality.
- Electrical components: Removal of dust and grease from control cabinets, motors and control units – dry and non-conductive.
- Painting and coating areas: Removal of paint, powder and adhesive residues from walls, grilles, tools or conveyor systems without compromising the coating systems.
ASCOJET – Precision for Industrial Cleanliness
ASCOJET dry ice blasting machines provide industrial companies with a modern cleaning technology that combines efficiency, cost-effectiveness and sustainability. The machines enable precise, uniform cleaning and can be used as mobile units or integrated into existing processes as required. ASCOJET machines are designed for industrial use in demanding environments and are characterised by robust construction and reliable operation under real-world industrial conditions.
Advantages of Dry Ice Blasting in Industrial Cleaning
The use of dry ice blasting offers numerous advantages over conventional cleaning methods:
Residue-free cleaning
No water, no chemicals, no secondary waste
Non-abrasive
Protects surfaces, tools and sensitive equipment
Cleaning whilst installed
No dismantling required – minimal downtime
Quick and efficient
Shorter cleaning intervals, higher system availability
Environmentally friendly and safe
No solvents, no waste water, no additional disposal costs
Versatile
For metal, plastic, rubber, glass, wood, paint and many other materials
In-House Dry Ice Production for Maximum Flexibility
For companies that carry out dry ice blasting regularly or on a large scale, in-house dry ice production is particularly worthwhile. With an ASCO dry ice machine, the required blasting ice can be produced directly on site – fresh, dry and in the optimum pellet size. This eliminates transport and storage costs, and you benefit at all times from the full cleaning power of freshly produced dry ice. At the same time, you increase your independence and reduce operating costs in the long term.
Practical, Efficient and Reliable
Through the targeted use of dry ice blasting, production facilities, tools and surfaces can be thoroughly cleaned – without water, without additional cleaning agents and without dismantling. This reduces downtime, minimises cleaning effort and, at the same time, protects machines and components.
Contaminants are precisely removed, whilst process reliability and product quality are maintained – from routine maintenance to demanding specialised cleaning in industrial production environments.
