Applications
Dry & Wet Ice Blasting – can help solve your cleaning problems – no requirement for equipment shutdown – can be used on a wide range of materials, metals, wood, rubber, plastics etc.
Wet ice blasting only uses about 10% water – as ice – than traditional high pressure jetting. The way that the cleaning takes place means that there is very little water left over from the process.
Dry ice – solid CO2 pellets – turns back in to a gas when striking the surface being cleaned leaving it completely dry and can be safely used on electrical components, control panels, motors, switches etc.
