CO2 based Cleaning

CRYOCLEAN® Dry Ice Blasting

In the CRYOCLEAN® process, dry ice pellets of -108°F ( -78°C) are blasted at high velocity onto the surfaces of the workpiece (component) to be cleaned. On impact, the dry ice immediately vaporizes, removing dirt and impurities while leaving the cleaned surface clear of grit or sludge residue. CRYOCLEAN dry ice blasting is a fast and dry cleaning process that has often replaced corrosive or aggressive solvents in many industrial and environmental cleaning applications.

CRYOCLEAN Snow: CO2 Blasting without Pellets.

Wherever a gentle but efficient cleaning is necessary CRYOCLEAN®snow offers new possibilities. CO2-snow particles are directly generated out of liquid carbon dioxide. Pressure air will accelerate these particles. Mean contaminations will be removed by highly effective surface treatment. Contaminants are efficiently removed in operations that can be manual or fully automated. However, in contrast to traditional pellet blasting no pellets and pelletizer are required. Applications include:

Cleaning of tools and molds from releasing agents, oils, residues

  • injection-, polyurethane-, silicone- and rubber molds
  • aluminium, steel and epoxy castings
Cleaning of machines and plants
  • production lines, machine tools and robots
  • food equipment, ovens and conveyors
  • printing machines
  • bio and medical production equipment
Cleaning of parts and components
  • engineered fabrics
  • plastic, foam and rubber parts
  • aluminium, brass and steel parts
Pre- and posttreatment for welding and brazing operations
Pretreatment for painting operations
  • plastic, foam and rubber parts
  • aluminium, brass and steel parts
Cleanup of fire damage
  • electronics, printed circuit boards and switch cabinets
