CRYOCLEAN® pellet cleaning

Dry-ice pellet blasting is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for hard-to-clean machinery which is used in nearly every industry.

CRYOCLEAN® pellet is a cleaning technology where 3 mm dry ice pellets are accelerated in a pressurized air stream and propelled on a surface at extremely high speeds in order to clean it.

Dry-ice pellets are quite soft, and much less dense than other media used in blast-cleaning (i.e. sand, glass or plastic pellets). Upon impact, the pellets sublimates almost immediately, transferring minimal kinetic energy to the surface on impact and producing minimal abrasion. The sublimation process absorbs a large volume of heat from the surface, producing shear stresses due to thermal shock. The rapid change in state from solid to gas also causes microscopic shock waves, which are also thought to assist in removing the contaminant.

 

What are the benefits of dry ice blast cleaning?

• Dry ice blast cleaning significantly reduces down time by eliminating the need to disassemble machinery
• Because dry ice cleaning is moistureless, there is no need for drying
• It is bacteriostatic, which means it not only provides an effective cleaning mechanism but also a sterilisation process, making it particularly attractive in food and scientific applications
• It produces no secondary contaminant to be removed, as can often be the case with water and solvent-based processes

CRYOCLEAN® pellet blasting is used in nearly every industry . Some examples:

Automotive
Cleaning of engine blocks, moulds and dies, spray booths

Brewing
Removal of fermentation residue from vats and vessels

Electrical

Cleaning of electrical motor housings, stators and windings, control panels, circuit breakers, substations and line insulators

Electronics

Removal of flux and resin build-up in PCB process equipment and curing ovens

Food

Cleaning of process equipment, conveyors, mixing vats, ovens, floors, moulds and extrusion dies

Foundries

Coreboxes, moulds, die-cast machines, mixers, hoppers, cooling fans

Local Authorities

Cleaning of drains, chewing gum removal, surface refurbishing of buildings and monuments

Paper

Removal of paper and wood pulp from processing machinery

Pharmaceuticals

Cleaning of reactors, mixers, storage vessels and tablet moulds

Plastics

Cleaning of moulds, extrusion dies, ovens and mixers

Printing

Removal of inks, coatings and paper-dust build up

As one of the leading dry ice suppliers, Linde offers under the ICEBITZZZ™ brand in many countries a range of flexible, one-stop solutions that meet the increasingly diverse volume and delivery needs of this segment.
