How Does Dry Ice Cleaning Work?
Dry ice cleaning, also referred to as cryogenic cleaning, leverages solid CO2 pellets to cleanse surfaces. This process entails propelling the pellets at high speeds through a nozzle, generating a powerful cleaning force.
Upon impact, the pellets sublimate into gas, expanding and dislodging contaminants. This efficient method effectively eliminates dirt, grease, paint, and various other substances without causing any harm to the underlying surface. It is compatible with a wide range of materials, including metal, plastic, rubber, and wood. The non-abrasive nature of dry ice cleaning ensures that even delicate surfaces remain unscathed. This cleaning method can be carried out online (during operation) or offline (during maintenance).
Equipment Maintenance with Dry Ice
Dry ice cleaning is revolutionising equipment maintenance for businesses. Its eco-friendly attributes, remarkable cleaning efficiency, and downtime reduction potential make it an appealing option across various industries. The absence of harmful chemicals, its non-abrasive nature, and non-conductive properties further enhance its attractiveness.
By adopting dry ice cleaning, businesses can optimise their equipment maintenance processes, improve productivity, and trim operational costs. The numerous case studies illustrating its effectiveness across industries serve as a testament to its value and impact.
