Dry Ice - Sale of Premium Quality Dry Ice

Cryogenics: principle and applications

The dry ice cleaning process is calleddry ice cleaning. It consists of projecting dry ice particles onto the surface to be cleaned using a specific device, the Cryoblaster®. Under the effect of sublimation and thermal shock, dirt easily detaches from the treated surface without damaging it.

The industrial sector

Dry ice blasting is used in many industrial sectors such as:

• Automotive: to remove grease, paint or rust from mechanical parts.
• Aerospace: to clean turbines, engines and electronic components.
• Plastic and rubber: to eliminate burrs, silicone deposits or molding residues.

The food processing sector

In the food processing industry, dry ice is used for:

• Cleaning and disinfecting production equipment without the use of water or chemical products.
• Preserving fresh food thanks to its ability to maintain low temperatures in insulated packaging.
• Slowing bacterial growth and extending the shelf life of food products.

How to handle dry ice safely?

Discover in this article all the recommendations for purchase, transport, storage and handling: how to handle dry ice !

How is solid CO2 stored?

For professional storageneeds, the standard is the insulated container placed in a ventilated location. In industrial dry ice blasting, it may be useful to consider the sublimation rate of dry ice in order to properly manage your ice stock.

Storage also comes with some precautions...

Indeed, a hermetically sealed container storing solid carbon dioxide can explode. This occurs due to the expansion of cryogenic gas during sublimation.

Bottom line: for the storage of dry ice: NO HERMETIC CONTAINER

The revelation of industrial dry ice blasting

While solid carbon dioxidecan have spectacular recreational applications, it is generally used as a refrigerant, thanks to its temperature or extreme cold of -78.5°C. Thus, thanks to this property, it allows the refrigerated transport of perishable goods such as food, or even for the transport of organs or medical products.

But in the era of environmental concerns, it is experiencing a resurgence of interest in industrial dry ice blasting or carboglace jet cleaning (comparable to sandblasting techniques). It even represents the revolutionary cleaning agent due to its environmental and economic advantages.

Indeed, dry ice blasting is perfectly clean, safe and fast. It avoids the dirty and even polluting nature of other cleaning techniques that use chemical or degrading products. Furthermore, it meets industrial productivity requirements.

Using compressed air as a projection vector (thermal compressor or company network), a supersonic nozzle and a gun, this process is fast :

Indeed, it significantly reduces treatment time, without inducing any mandatory downtime.

What are the risks?

La Handling solid CO2requires safety precautions. The risks of burns from extreme cold and asphyxiation risks are the main warnings.

Discover in the article the risks of dry ice, the dangers associated with its use and handling.

What are the prices?

Anti-static Prices or cost of carboglace, displayed online, particularly on e-commerce sites, may leave you "puzzled" and discourage some users, particularly service providers wishing to offer dry ice blasting services.

Rest assured, the price of solid CO2 in 3 mm format is much cheaper than prices found online!
