The cleaning of surfaces in industry plays an essential role, especially in mechanical engineering and cleaning technology. The requirements for surface cleaning in industrial applications are diverse and range from removing stubborn dirt to ensuring technical cleanliness and environmental compatibility. The selection of suitable cleaning methods and agents is crucial to meeting these requirements.
Industrial component cleaning not only includes the cleaning of machines and systems, but also the pre-treatment of highly sensitive surfaces in order to optimize the efficiency and safety of subsequent production steps.
Surface cleaning is an indispensable part of production that is becoming increasingly important due to advancing mechanization and rising demands on surface quality. The selection of a suitable cleaning process and the quality of the cleaning agents used are crucial for maintaining high quality standards and the durability of the manufactured products.
Technical cleanliness, also known as technical purity, is a crucial aspect and advantage in many industrial sectors, especially in areas with high demands on product quality and reliability. The dry ice blasting process is an innovative method of surface cleaning in which small dry ice pellets of 0.1 to 4 mm are shot at high speed onto the surface to be cleaned. On impact with the parts to be cleaned, the dry ice sublimates immediately, which means that it changes directly from a solid to a gaseous state without leaving any liquid behind.
This process creates a kinetic effect that effectively removes dirt and impurities from the surface of the component. The dry ice also provides a thermal shock to the dirt, causing it to contract and detach from the technical surface of the material.
This process is used in various industries such as the cleaning of industrial machinery, production facilities, vehicles, boats, house facades and many other areas. In contrast to conventional methods, no damp or chemical surface cleaners are used. This makes it an environmentally friendly alternative, as the dry ice completely sublimates and leaves no residue, a completely green process.
The high cooling capacity of dry ice is particularly suitable for processes and components that must not come into contact with aqueous cleaners, such as when cooling down processors to increase performance. This prevents the formation of moisture that could damage metals or conduct electrical energy and ensures that the machines are immediately ready for use.
Dry ice is often used as a cleaning agent for production facilities, electronic devices, molds and tools as well as vehicles and aircraft. It is particularly effective at removing heavy soiling such as grease, oil, adhesives, paint, rust or soot from components. It can also be used to remove odors and disinfect component surfaces.
The dry ice blasting process offers an efficient and gentle method for cleaning industrial components. It enables thorough removal of dirt, deposits and production residues without the use of chemical surface cleaners and without leaving any residue. This method enables the cleaned machines and systems to be immediately ready for use again without the need for disassembly in production. The use of dry ice blasting is not only cost-effective, but also saves time through fast and efficient cleaning processes.
The dry ice blasting process has numerous advantages over conventional cleaning methods. It is non-abrasive, does not cause moisture and therefore reduces the risk of short circuits or other damage. It is also particularly effective for the optimal cleaning of hard-to-reach surfaces.
The dry ice blasting process is an efficient, environmentally friendly and gentle solution for component cleaning and is particularly suitable for areas with high hygiene standards.
