What is cryogenic blasting
The technology: the combined use of solid carbon dioxide pellets and compressed air as the cleaning vehicle.
HOW IT WORKS
Using compressed air, carbon dioxide pellets of a dimension that varies between 1.7 and 3 mm., at a temperature of -78°C, are fired at the surface to be cleaned, producing a localized thermal shock that shatters the material to be removed without damaging the underlying surface.
USES
This technology may be used wherever there is dirt of an organic nature and where cleaning without water or detergents is particularly advantageous, for example:-
in the food industry
in aluminium mould foundries
in the graphic arts industry
for cleaning monuments
Advantages
The treatment is not abrasive and permits the cleaning of equipment or mechanical parts without dismantling and reassembly, thereby considerably decreasing the cleaning time and in turn increasing productive capacity. Cryogenic blasting provides the following further advantages:-
absence of solvents
absence of water and humidity
absence of abrasive substances
absence of dust
no residue to dispose of (except the removed material)
very low environmental impact
in keeping with FDA / BG regulations
