Factory machinery and equipment have always been a particularly tricky challenge to clean. It is never enough to clean just the surfaces. Some machinery needs to be disassembled to be able to clean the smaller parts inside. This tedious labor resulted in reduced productivity and profits. After all, how can one make money if the machine that manufactures the products is out of order?
While businesses may have found hope with the introduction of high pressure cleaning services, new problems soon surfaced with the use of these cleaning techniques.
One good example is abrasive blasting with sand. While it may be effective in cleaning hard to reach areas, the abrasive action of the sane causes damage to parts, which effectively reduces the lifespan of the equipment. High pressure water blasting can lead to rust and corrosion, and is not suitable for delicate electrical components. Soda blasting is also ineffective since the soda sticks to surfaces, requiring even more tedious “hands-on” cleaning to remove. Last but not least, there is solvent cleaning. The use of solvents is perhaps the most dangerous cleaning procedure of all as these solutions may react with chemicals and other substances that have accumulated in the machinery, leading to the production of toxic fumes and residues that are health hazards to the workers and harmful to the environment.
None of these problems can be found in dry ice blasting. Why is this so? The dry ice pellets immediately evaporates upon contact with any surfaces to be cleaned, so that there is no abrasion between the pellets and the machinery parts. Next, because the CO2 immediately dissipates in the air upon contact, there is very little chance for it to react with accumulated chemicals inside the machines. As a result, no toxic residues are produced.
