Dry Ice is an effective cleaning tool used in the industrial sector to have your equipment cleaned. Dry ice blasting saves your time as well as money. It has gained popularity over the years as it is an effective cleaning method using small pellets of dry ice. Even though it is much similar to sandblasting or high-pressure steam blasting, it is selected by more industries as the cold temperature of the ice blasts against the material that needs to be removed, shrinks it and leaves the remaining surface untouched.
Listed below are some of the benefits of Dry ice blasting suggested by Ecogreen Dry ice service, one of the top Cleaning equipment suppliers in UAE.
- Fast and Efficient
Dry ice blasting is a fast and effective method which uses the power of cold temperatures. This can be used with supersonic speeds to clean substances from hard-to-reach, difficult surfaces to sensitive equipment. It reduces cleaning time and thus reducing costs when compared to manual cleaning. Your equipment, molds, and dies on line can be cleaned neatly without being disassembling large complex machinery.
- Reduces downtime
Dry ice blasting reduces the downtime without actually moving the equipment from its place. For typical cleaning processes electrical areas of the machinery needs to be treated differently since moisture is a problem. This may be time consuming. Dry ice cleaning enables you to clean your equipment saving labor and time. Processes such as cool down, disassembly, transport of the equipment to and from a cleaning area, reassembly and reheating time all can be eliminated once you go for a Dry ice blasting.
- Environmental friendly
It is one of the safest cleaning method available in the market. No cleaning chemicals, heat, or other hazardous waste are created after the process as carbon dioxide is used. Dry ice cleaning can be considered as a green process that does not add CO2 into the atmosphere, harming the environment. It is environmentally sound and does not contribute to greenhouse gases. This increases the health and safety of the worker in the company as he is not exposed to any harmful substances. It is also safe for the equipment.
- Practical and Affordable
To reduce equipment downtime, labor costs and waste disposal costs dry ice blasting is the best method. It is a practical and affordable alternative to all traditional cleaning methods. Dry ice is used for sensitive cleaning situations, like removing flux from electronic circuit boards, to heavy sanitation jobs, like removing slag from automotive assembly rails. food processing, plastics and molded products industries, automotive, printing, aerospace, contract cleaning, general maintenance, and many other industries also makes use of Dry ice blasting.
- Dry Process
The whole process is dry as dry ice sublimates which turns into carbon dioxide gas. It is extremely safe for electrical applications as no water comes into play. The dry methodology will help in protecting electrical equipment, cables, motors, circuit boards etc. The Dry ice in Dubai are actually dry ice pellets which are in solid state later converting into vapor state without going through the liquid state. Depending on the ambient temperature condensation can occur.
- Reduced Waste
Dry ice cleaning eliminates secondary waste. No by product waste is created after the cleaning process which helps in reducing the high disposal costs. Unlike the other cleaning methods where the original contaminant combines with the cleaning agent, here the dry ice disappears back into the atmosphere leaving no residues.
- Non-Abrasive
Since dry ice is non-abrasive, it does not damage sensitive parts of the production equipment. This helps in extending the life of equipment. Dry ice blasting is the most effective method of deep cleaning as it results in a clean, dry, and unchanged surface. It is chemical free, shot free and water free. No damage to surfaces, structures and objects are done by a dry ice. There is also no risk of potential damage from moving equipment to dedicated cleaning areas.
- Non Toxic Process
Since the dry ice pellets used in dry ice blasting are frozen to -79 degrees C, this temperature kills e-coli, salmonella and listeria and inhibits re-growth of bacteria. It is completely a non-toxic process. There is no risk of cross contamination. This is why food production and pharmaceutical companies are more into dry ice blasting for cleaning their plant machinery.
- Increased durability
Even in the hardest to reach places and intricate areas Dry ice blasting can be used. It is faster and effective. Your equipment’s longer shelf life is promoted with dry ice blasting. It is much better process than cleaning by hand with pads or wire brushes. It leaves structures, surfaces and machinery free of residue and will deep clean your equipment.
