FACT 1: VERSATILE
No other form of industrial cleaning is as versatile as Dry Ice Blasting. We can literally clean EVERYTHING!
Plus, we can come to you! Our mobile blast crews will remove your contaminant anywhere in Australia!
FACT 2: NON- ABRASIVE
We won’t damage your equipment.
Dry Ice Blasting is fast becoming recognized the world over, providing non abrasive contaminant removal.
That means, we can take the paint off aircraft, and other delicate surfaces without damaging anything in any way!
FACT 3: ABRASIVE
BUT! We also have the power and ability using our mixed media machines to strip two pack paint off any surface, remove heavy rust and profile surfaces in preparation of receive coatings.
FACT 4: CARBON NEUTRAL
Believe it or not, Dry Ice Blasting is a carbon neutral form of industrial cleaning.
This is because the CO2 we use is recycled. It already existed. By using it to clean, we are replacing a method that would most likely involve carbon producing methods!
FACTS 5: WATER FREE
Dry Ice isn’t actually ice! It is SOLID STATE CARBON DIOXIDE GAS!
So, this allows us to do some crazy things that others can’t. We CAN clean LIVE electrical installations because it is completely dry and NON-CONDUCTIVE…
Huge downtime reductions here!
FACTS 6: VAPORISED
So what does happen to the dry ice?
Well, all it wants to be is a gas, and upon impact that is exactly what happens, the dry ice sublimates instantly and changes state from a solid, back to CO2 gas. It is the only thing that changes from a solid to gas without going through a liquid state!
FACT 7: CLEVER KINETIC
Which brings us nicely onto how it does what it does!
The temperature of dry ice (-79C) causes a miniature kinetic explosion upon impact with the surface. This supercools and dislodges the contaminant by causing it to contract slightly which fractures the bond. There is quite a bit more science to it but we don’t have the space here to explain! Check it out on Google.
FACT 8: INSIDE OR OUT
And because of the clever science behind Dry Ice Blasting we can actually bring it inside to clean!
There is no secondary waste stream to contain, unlike sand, bead shot and soda blasting. We just sweep up the contaminant we have removed or fold up and remove the containment sheeting we may have used.
And of course we can do all this outside also!
FACT 9: DOWNTIME
And so, how will it save you money?
By blast cleaning while in situ, the time taken to dismantle and reassemble components is removed from the equation. Dry Ice Blasting is also a lot quicker than traditional forms of cleaning. A lot quicker!
It goes without saying, a machine that isn’t running isn’t earning. By reducing downtime we will increase your production rate.
