| Dry ice blasting, also known as CO2 | | | | . Not being environmental friendly |
| blasting is a non-invasive form of | | | | . Not being safe for electric equipments |
| cleaning technology. This method is safe | | | | Instead dry ice blasting has following |
| and effective enough to clean almost | | | | benefits |
| anything, starting from a wooden base to | | | | . It is environment friendly as it is a |
| any historical sights. Here, compressed | | | | non-abrasive, nonflammable and |
| air is used to blast frozen CO2 pellets | | | | nonconductive cleaning method. |
| which ultimately cleans the surface | | | | . In dry ice blasting, the equipments |
| without leaving any sort of residue. | | | | can be cleaned without moving them from |
| In this dry ice blasting process, dry | | | | their designated places. |
| ice or CO2 pellets, which are of very | | | | . There are no secondary contaminants |
| small size are shot out of a nozzle at | | | | like solvents or grit media in dry ice |
| breakneck speed on the surface that | | | | blasting. |
| needs to be cleaned. Due to the high | | | | . The active electrical or mechanical |
| speed of the pellets, the moment they | | | | parts of the equipments remain safe |
| come in contact to the surface, they | | | | during the cleaning process. |
| turn soft, sublimate and turn into | | | | . Dry ice blasting can be used |
| gaseous form without passing through the | | | | effectively to remove production |
| liquid stage. | | | | residues, contaminants, paints, release |
| People are finding dry ice blasting as a | | | | agents and oil. |
| more powerful cleaning method because it | | | | . It is even less expensive. |
| does not have the following drawbacks of | | | | Looking at all these benefits of dry ice |
| traditional cleaning systems. | | | | blasting process, it becomes clear why |
| . the issue of disassembly and again | | | | companies are showing their faith in dry |
| reassembly of equipments | | | | ice blasting process. Most of the |
| . lengthy procedure due to intensive | | | | companies want to minimize their |
| hand scrubbing | | | | industrial waste and there can no other |
| . more man power is required to complete | | | | better solution then dry ice blasting |
| the task of cleaning | | | | for reducing environmental waste, |
| . the result is not up to the standard | | | | production downtime and plant |
| as total cleaning is not possible | | | | maintenance concerns. |
