Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide, or CO2 for short. Liquid CO2 is stored either in cylinders at ambient temperature under about 60 bar pressure or in vacuum-insulated tanks at about -20 °C under 20 bar pressure. When liquid CO2 expands, finely powdered snow is formed. Dry ice closely resembles normal water ice, but has very different properties.

Slightly different method, great results: dry ice blasting without pre-produced pellets. TheCRYOCLEAN®snowsystemworkswithliquidCO2.

For some automated cleaning applications, a new, modified dry ice blasting system is available. The dry ice particles are produced directly on demand from a liquid CO2 supply. Though less aggres-sive than the common dry ice pellet blasting process, the system is quite advantageous for many applications as it doesn’t need any pellet handling and requires only low-grade maintenance.

Automated dry ice blasting.CRYOCLEAN®complete.

And now it’s time to see a piece of the action. Dryiceblasting:someofthemanyapplications.

The following applications are but a small selection of the nume-rous present day uses. The successful application of dry ice blasting depends largely on your work process and your product (or that of your client) and the type of contamination that has to be removed. To establish the efficacy of dry ice blasting in your situation, Linde Gas can offer testing in its own Test and Demonstration Centres or at your site. Traversing systems are available for work of a repeti-tive nature, such as the cleaning of rollers and/or moulds. It is also possible to use robots for cleaning moulds. Linde Gas has the right partners to arrange this.

Maximum effect with minimum downtime.Dryiceblasting:beforeandaftercleaning.

In recent years, Linde Gas has achieved excellent results in various branches of industry. Particularly in situations where conventional cleaning methods have detrimental side effects, CRYOCLEAN® dry ice blasting methods can be the answer. The total absence of blast medium residues, the non-abrasive nature of the pellets and the intensive cleaning action have proved their value in industrial appli cations time and again.

What to keep in mind when dry ice blasting.Dangersandprecautions.

When dry ice blasting (e.g. when renovating an old half-timbered house, as shown here), always wear protective clothing.

In some cases, gas masks are highly recommended – e.g. when cleaning heat exchangers and harmful materials are blasted loose.

Ventilation
