Stay safe
First, it is time to decide if you can operate the cleaning equipment. If you have a pacemaker refrains from doing the task as it may malfunction and create health problems.
Make sure that a healthy adult does dry ice blasting with all the protective gear.
Ensure proper storage of dry ice
Dry ice blasting is an easy process but storing the raw material is a tricky job. You may need a well-insulated container to prevent dry ice from subliming. But the package should not be airtight as it may cause an explosion.
Work in a well-ventilated area
The biggest pro of using dry ice for blasting is that it doesn’t leave any residue that you may have to clean after that work completes. It is because dry ice being solid carbon dioxide will become gas and mingle in the atmosphere without turning into liquid.
This can be toxic to humans. Hence, allow the gas to quickly blend into the atmosphere by working in an airy area without any closed compartments.
Inspect the machinery
The cleaning equipment suppliers in UAE provide best in class machinery for dry ice blasting. But before conducting the procedure, check your dry ice blasting equipment carefully to ensure safety at work.
Here is all that you need to inspect
- Check the entire unit including hose, cables and guns for damage.
- Ensure that the hose is secured tightly.
- Every machine has a specific pressure level. Never try to exceed it and overwork the equipment.
- While blasting keep the machine hopper lid closed.
- Before removing the hose, make sure that the air source is turned off.
Put on the safety gear
Solid carbon dioxide may look like the cutest ball of snow, but make no mistakes of touching it with bare hands. It is freezing at a temperature of about -109.3 degree Fahrenheit. Touching it with bare hands may cause ice burn or frostbite.
A safety mask will ensure that you do not inhale a lot of carbon dioxide during the process. The seemingly harmless gas may turn fatal if not used with the adequate protective gear.
Ensure a clean surrounding
The dry ice comes in pellets and blocks that can deflect to a small distance during the dry ice blasting procedure. Ensure there are no kids, adults or animals when doing the cleaning. They may be hit and face some unwanted injuries.
Discard wisely
Once you have completed the dry ice blasting with cold jet machine and some of it remains in the container, make sure to discard it in the wisest way possible.
You can let it sublime in room temperature and allow the gas to mix with the environment. However, make sure to do it in a well-ventilated space and away from other humans who may unknowingly touch it.
