General Maintenance

Reduce cleaning time up to 80%

Dry ice blasting can be used on:

• Foundries
• Printing & Packaging Equipment
• Rubber
• Wood

Benefits:

• Greatly decreases cleaning, setup and start-up times
• Minimizes risks of damage to expensive equipment
• Notably reduces hourly labour costs for cleaning
• Increases production time for production equipment
• Reduces downtime by eliminating need for teardown and movement in many cases

Dry ice blasting has endless uses in the general maintenance industry removing the following contaminates:

• Oil
• Chew Gum
• Grease
• Metallic weld slag
• Insoluble overspray
• Adhesives
• Petroleum
• Tar

Foundries

Benefits:

• Capable of cleaning hot or cold
• Electrical equipment
• Permanent moulds - removing water and silicon based release agents
• Coreboxes
• Die-casting machines

Printing & Packaging Equipment

Benefits:

• Reduce cleaning time up to 80%
• Eliminates manual scraping and reduces cleaning time from one day to less than two hours
• Reduces or eliminates low quality printing and scrap rates.
• Thoroughly cleans wax and clay build up from rollers, gears, guides, and chains
• Decreases equipment downtime by cleaning without disassembly
• Increases lifetime for parts such as fans, motors, chains and gripper bars.

All printing machinery equipment as well as dryers and drums can be quickly cleaned of the following contaminants:

• Ink build-up
• Coatings
• Paper dust
• Spray powders
• Grease & Oil

Rubber

Benefits:

• Reduce cleaning time up to 75%
• Eliminates the need to remove and reinstall molds during cleaning
• Greatly decreases equipment downtime
• Defect levels minimized to near zero
• Reduction in tool damage and loss
• Reduction in requirement to re-stamp faulty tire lettering

Tire and rubber contaminants cause flaws in the final product. Dry ice blasting removes these contaminants:

• Fouling residues
• Release agents

Wood

Benefits:

• Reduce cleaning time up to 85%
• Eliminate manual press, dryer and vent cleaning
• Increase safety and health of all employees
• Reduced fire hazards
• Cleans otherwise unreachable parts of a wood press
• Keeps workers at a safe distance from residue and residue dust
