Dry ice blasting, which involves CO2 pellet impact cleaning, is an easy, nonabrasive method of cleaning that eliminates the need for harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, high temperatures, or steam to remove surface impurities.
After being blasted, the solid pellets instantly sublimate upon impact with the surface, leaving no trace behind. Dry Ice blasting can therefor be used to clean or strip a surface of pollutants.
Since dry ice blasting doesn’t add any new impurities to the waste stream, it produces far less secondary waste that needs to be disposed of afterward.
In addition to decontaminating nuclear materials, cleaning food and beverage processing equipment, removing mould spores, conserving historical artefacts, and cryomilling poorly soluble drugs, dry ice blasting is used for the precise cleaning of semiconductor wafers and other delicate mechanical parts.
Here, we explore some of the many useful ways that dry ice blasting in Port Elizabeth can be applied across different industries.
The Cleaning of Sensitive Mechanical Parts
You may swiftly and safely remove any old loose paint, solvents, or abrasives without causing damage to the surrounding materials or the environment by employing a chemical-free procedure.
Cleaning with the dry ice blasting method yields better results than that of any other methods available. Additionally, you can clean tight spaces that would be difficult to access by hand.
Added to this, bitumen can be removed from mining equipment, electric motor fins, and loading areas using dry ice blasting because the Bitumen Tar is cooled during the process, making it simpler to release from the substrate than when it is softer.
The Effective Cleaning of Furnaces
Dry ice blasting removes the mastic so that the inside walls of the furnace can be welded and serviced without the risk of introducing any residual media.
Cleaning of Medical Production Tools
The moulds and tools used in the production of medical devices are safe from dry ice blasting because it is a non-abrasive procedure. It paves the way for more regular and thorough cleaning, which in turn decreases the need for new tools, cuts down on product waste, and boosts productivity.
Useful in Aerospace Cleaning
The dry ice blasting technique is perfect for cleaning any remaining decals, dirt, grease, or oils on the landing gear and the exterior hull of an aeroplane. Aircraft floor panels can have adhesives, rubber skid marks, carbon deposits, engine exhausts, and wheel wells removed with this method.
Dry ice cleaning is safe for use on and around mechanical components, electrical wiring, glass, and other fragile materials.
