Ice Blasting solutions
Ice cold on dirt. Cleaning with dry ice – convenient and effective.
Stubborn dirt can sometimes only be removed effortlessly with powerful cleaning systems – Dry Ice Blasting is such a technology. We use compressed air and dry ice pellets to remove rubber residues, oils, greases, parting agents, paints and lacquers, etc. No abrasive residues are left behind and the machines to be cleaned do not need to be disassembled.
Perfect cleaning results.
Soiled moulds, parts or machines are often difficult to clean.
The problem: sandblasting leaves residues, e.g. abrasives such as sand or glass granulate. This often means having to clean-up after cleaning.
This is no longer necessary with the high-performance Ice Blasting Technology Purgo uses. After blasting, the dry ice pellets dissolve completely into carbon dioxide (CO2). The result is perfect cleanliness.
Advantages
1. Cleaning without preparation.
No need to disassemble machines for cleaning. The pellets easily reach every corner.
Minimum machine downtimes thanks to fast and effective cleaning with dry ice.
Environmentally friendly cleaning without additional chemicals or abrasives.
Surfaces are not damaged (no pitting etc.).
No residues. Dry ice sublimates completely to CO2.
There are no residues such as abrasives or wastewater.
2. Cleanliness = cold x velocity
The Ice Blasting Technology Purgo uses compresses air to propel 3-mm dry ice pellets to the high velocity of over 150 m/s. This high velocity and the cold temperature of -79 °C freezes the dirt and causes it to crack. The pellets penetrate the cracks, burst, and remove the dirt.
This is an especially effective method of gently removing virtually all types of dirt.
3. From carbon dioxide to ice
During the production process, liquid carbon dioxide flows into the pressing cylinder of the pelletizer and is turned into dry ice snow by the drop in pressure.
A hydraulic cylinder compresses this dry ice snow, which is subsequently pressed through an extruder plate.
This causes rods of dry ice to form, which are then broken down into pellets.
4. Cleanliness in all areas
The Purgo Ice Blasters do not use any cleaning agents or chemicals. They are suitable for use in all areas where cleaning with water or sand is legally prohibited or impractical. Because the pellets dissolve without residues, no wastewater or blasting media is produced.
Dry ice blasting is being used in ISO 8 – Class 100,000 clean rooms.
Additional Benefits
Avoid excessive downtime and prolong the life of your machines and plants.
We provide preventative maintenance services that increase the reliability and performance of your production machines and plants, minimize planned and unplanned downtime and provide you with confidence that your machines and plants will always be ready to perform.
Applications:
• Cleaning of moulds and casting tools
• Cleaning generators, turbines, control cabinets and heat exchangers
• Cleaning forging tools
• Deburring plastic parts
• Cleaning filling and mixing systems
• Cleaning conveyor, transport and handling systems
• Cleaning ovens
• Cleaning woodworking machines
• Cleaning printing presses and their peripherals
Food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry
An ice blaster is ideal for removing coking, burnt-in deposits, incrustations, fat and starch from filling and mixing plants, production lines, handling systems as well as tanks and furnaces.
Steel, metal and machine construction
Basic and maintenance cleaning of production machines, welding robots, conveyor belts and paint shops is extremely easy with Purgo Ice Blasting Technology.
Timber and electrical industry
Dry ice blasting is ideal for cleaning woodworking machines, generators, turbines, switchgear cabinets, etc.
Paper industry
In the paper industry, glue, lime, dust and cellular materials deposit in the plants. Machine downtimes and loss of quality are the result. Plants are cleaned faster with dry ice and are soon ready to use again.
Plastic and packaging industry
The dry ice blaster removes silicone and rubber as well as paints, lacquers and other dirt from injection moulds and production lines.
Printing plants
After dry ice blasting, all printing machines and cylinders, tools, etc., look like new.
Automotive industry, foundries and plastic injection moulding plants
Our dry ice blasters remove binding and parting agents from all kinds of parts and workpieces. Residues such as silicone, rubber, paints, lacquers, parting agents, etc., can easily be removed from injection moulds, dies and entire production lines. Cleans perfectly without leaving residues.
Local authorities and municipalities
Graffiti and chewing gum: a problem for many cities and municipalities. This calls for a cleaning method that cleans walls and surfaces thoroughly, yet gently – like Ice Blasters. They remove dirt without damaging surfaces.
The dry ice blasting process helps improve organizations:
• Reduce downtime - Significantly quicker process leads to increased production time.
• Increase efficiency - Clean equipment online, while eliminating need for cooldown and disassembly.
• No secondary waste - Dry ice blasting does not produce secondary waste streams, residue or moisture.
• Non-abrasive - Dry ice is a soft media that will not harm substrates.
• Improved part quality and reduced scrap - Cleaner machinery and tooling results in higher quality products.
• Environmentally responsible - Dry ice is made of reclaimed CO2 and does not add additional CO2 to the atmosphere.
• Operator safe - Eliminates need for chemicals and repetitive, manual processes.
• Non-toxic and non-conductive - Dry ice is a food grade media and is safe for commercial use.
• More efficiently allocate labour - The process reduces time, labour and resources needed.
