Dry-ice blasting with additives is the new alternative for conventional blasting techniques. Compared to sand blasting you will be able to reduce the volume of your used blasting agent with a factor 12 to in some cases even 40. This makes cleaning up after the job a lot easier. In some cases it is possible to blast with the CryoAdd system, where sand blasting is not allowed because of the fact that it makes up to 40 times as much waste to clean up.
Still much more environment friendly than sand blasting and far more powerful than dry ice blasting. With only 3 to 8 kg of additives per hour, mixed with approximately 30 kg of dry ice, you can easily remove paint, bitumen, rubber or even corrosion from metal surfaces without big dust cloud.
How does this system work?
This system more or less works like dynamite. If you would like to remove a floor and you put a loose stick of dynamite on the floor, it will make a small dent into this floor and blast away everything around it. If you drill a hole in the same floor and you put the dynamite stick in it, it will blast away the floor much easier.
To gain the same effect of the explosive sublimation of dry ice, the CryoAdd system make little holes in the contamination or in a surface with CryoSand. In the dry ice/sand mixture in the blasting stream the dry ice particles are being propelled into these tiny holes. This way they will be able to work from within these holes, making the explosive sublimation of the particles much more effective.
Non-abrasive and abrasive
CryoSand White is in most cases non abrasive, but it penetrates the contamination that you would like to remove, making it possible to get more effect from the explosive sublimation. In most cases the surface you want to clean remains intact with this agent.
CryoSand Black is the abrasive type of sand. When this agent is added to the dry ice particles, you are able to remove rust from steel or colouring in (stainless) steel caused by welding. Because of the fact that CryoSand Black penetrates the surface of metals, glass and most other hard surfaces, it enables you to remove the top layer. Together with the explosive sublimation of dry ice, you will get the same results as conventional blasting, but with only a fraction of the waste. Surface after treatment: SA 2,5
Faster, and therefore cheaper
In some cases machines, or machine parts, no longer need to be disassembled for cleaning. In-line cleaning is sometimes possible. This cuts lost production time to a minimum.
Environmentally-friendly
CryoAdd blasting is an excellent alternative for conventional (sand) blasting because the fact that is uses less (Cryo)Sand and therefore it does not produce the same volume of waste to your waste stream.
Advantages CO² with additives
-Cleans faster
-Removes very hard contaminations
-The base material has a sandblasting result
-Possibility of CryoAdd blasting in production factories
-Less dust and waste compared to sandblasting (reduction of 90%)
Applications CO² with additives
-Rust
-Paint
-Buildings
-Bitumen
-Teflon
Scraped Ice Particles
If you want, you could also use the CryoAdd as a dry ice blaster. It is possible to blast with scraped ice for delicate surfaces. Dry Ice pellets, blocks or nuggets are ground into fine or rough crystal parts (like sugar).
Advantages Scraped Ice Particles
When particles of a defined small granular size are being used for cleaning, solid CO² pellets, blocks or nuggets are ground into fine or rough sugar crystal particles, its increasing the impact points per more than 250 times and thereby drastically reducing impact sublimation. This new format utilizes the Dry Ice media more efficiently than any other method.
The scraper system create particles of substantially reduced individual mass, compared to standard Dry Ice pellets without any loss of cleaning power. It is the distribution of equal Dry Ice mass over a much larger amount of impact points, which gives CO² scraping cleaning the ability to clean very sensitive surfaces.
Applications scraped ice particles
-Electrical boxes
-Generator and motor windings
-Electronics
-Circuit boards
-Semi conductor tools
-Wood
-Soft sand and stone substrates
-Smoke damages
-Injection moulds
-Monuments
-Welding residues
-Chemistry
-Radioactive decontamination
-Food: chocolate, grease, flour
-Printing presses
