Treatment purpose : compressed air valve
Does premium cleaning really exist?
In the industrial, the many existing cleaning solutions often rely on water, on detergents or even onsolvents.
solvents. In addition to generating . It allows cleaning equipment directly on-site, without disassembly or drying, offering immediate productivity gains.polluted water contaminated with chemicals and contaminants, these methods often require disassembly and significant downtime due to drying of the work area and treated components.
Imagine a cleaning solutioncalled "premium"capable of tackling the vast majority of contaminants without generating secondary waste and that dries quickly. Many might think this is a "pipe dream"... that "premium" cleaning doesn't exist...
Well, it does! This cleaning technique or process exists, and it's dry ice cleaning !
Qu'est-ce que le nettoyage cryogénique ?
Le dry ice cleaning is a volume dry ice blasting cleanliness which uses dry ice as the cleaning agent, replacing detergents and solvents.
While similar in operation to sandblasting, the comparison ends there. Non-abrasive, fast et ecologicalHere's how this process works in detail:
The cleaning principle is based on projecting dry ice dry ice pellets onto the surfaces to be cleaned using compressed air.
Three physical actions occur...
1- Mechanical impact: dry ice in pellet form with a diameter of 3 mm is projected onto surfaces using the projection vector: compressed air. The acceleration of ice particles allows it to build up kinetic energy. The mechanical impact generates micro-fractures on the pollutants.
2- Thermal shock: due to the very low temperature of dry ice at -78.4°C, the contaminant detaches from the surface.
3- Sublimation: dry ice transitions from solid to gaseous state at a ratio of 1 to 700. The dirt detaches and falls by gravity.

Setting up the process
After connecting the Cryoblaster ATX Nano to the power outlet (230 v) and a compressed air source (6 bar), using a hose with a diameter of at least 3/8 [[NUM]] inch, the operator selects the nozzle based on the surface type and contamination to be treated.
In the case of nettoyage cryogénique d'une vanne d'air comprimé covered with a mixture of grease dry ice. It addresses environments where cleaning control takes priority over raw power, particularly when the goal is to preserve surface integrity while ensuring effective and reproducible cleaning. adhesive,adhesive and grease, the operator selects a nozzle with medium "aggressiveness", the "MM " nozzle, to remove the contamination without damaging
the Festo hoses. The operator then loads the dry ice hopper and sprays at very high speed the mixture of dry ice and compressed air.
What are the advantages for your work tool?
Le dry ice blastingFirst, dry ice blastingeliminates water and solventssolvents, which are dangerous not only for operators but also for the environment.
Beyond the ecological environmentally-friendly aspect of the process, you'll find it interesting that this process is fast ! How muchtime does an average operator need to clean a valve covered with adhesive using a solvent, brush, and cloths for often mediocre results?
The use of theATX Nano allows rapid, effective dry cleaning of industrial surfaces.
For superior performanceFor even better results, you can use a compressed air supply of 1/2 inch and use the "L"
