Automotive companies cut their mold-buildup cleaning costs by as much as $50,000 per year. Dry Ice Blasting can optimize equipment performance and increase productivity in the automotive industry.

Dry ice blasting can optimize equipment performance and increase productivity in the automotive industry. It provides efficient cleaning of the core box, paint hook, weld line, e-coat as well as the transmission housing. Cleaning with dry ice can:

• Reduce labor cost
• Reduce scrap
• Increase operator safety

For food processors, dry ice blasting has been documented by the Food Standards Agency to effectively decontaminate surfaces of Salmonella, E. coli and Listeria.

For food processors, dry ice blasting has been documented by the Food Standards Agency to effectively decontaminate surfaces of Salmonella, E. coli and Listeria. Cleaning with dry ice has many benefits:

• Reduce cleaning time
• No secondary waste
• Reduce production downtime
• Food grade dry ice is approved by the FDA
• Environmentally responsible

Dry ice blasting has a variety of applications for food processing. These include but are not limited to:

• Slicers and dividers
• Electrical components and more
• Radial feeders
• Pack-off tables
• Ovens
• Conveyors
• Mixers
• Baggers
• Palletizers

Food processing and packaging equipment gets dirty with grease, wax, proteins, seasonings, crumbs, glue and other buildup. This prevents the equipment from operating at peak efficiency. Unfortunately, traditional manual cleaning methods are time-consuming, ineffective and usually involve significant amounts of water and resulting waste. Dry ice blasting offers a superior cleaning process that can reduce cleaning time by up to 80 percent, eliminate secondary waste and result in a significant reduction in overall cleaning costs.

Our certified staff of trained technicians will use dry ice blasting technology to remove years of chemical and contaminant residue. We can restore your equipment to like new condition, all while creating no secondary waste or water to clean up and dispose of.

We can restore your equipment to like new condition, all while creating no secondary waste or water to clean up and dispose of. Cleaning industrial equipment with dry ice blasting has a number of benefits:

• Reduce cleaning time
• No secondary waste
• Environmentally responsibility

There is a broad scope of efficient uses for dry ice blasting when it comes to industrial equipment. These include but are not limited to:

• Tank cleaning
• Coating removal
• Process residue removal
• Equipment cleaning
• Degreasing
• Decontamination
• Corrosion removal
• Turbine cleaning
• HRSG cleaning
• Chiller cleaning
• Elevated walkway degreasing and cleaning
• Baked-on carbonized buildup removal
• Oven cleaning
• Conveyor cleaning
• Graffiti removal

In order to properly restore a log home, the exterior must be thoroughly cleaned, sanded and stained. Cleaning with dry ice has many benefits:

• Reduce cleaning time
• No moisture added to wood
• No damage to wood

Dry ice blasting offers log home exteriors the brilliant but rustic look they deserve without the old grime and dirt. We offer efficient cleaning of:

• Old Stains
• Exterior Dirt
• Exterior Mold
• Pine Surfaces
• Fir Surfaces
• Cedar Surfaces
• Teak Surfaces

Log home exterior stain will eventually begin to peel and become layered with dirt and mold. In order to properly apply a new layer of stain, the exterior surface must be cleaned. If the surface is not cleaned thoroughly to remove all contaminants, the new layer of stain and sealant will not adhere correctly and will not last long term. Dry ice blasting is the perfect cleaning solution because it does not damage the wood surface or introduce moisture to the wood. Dry ice cleaning is quicker and more efficient than traditional methods such as sanding, chemical stripping and pressure washing.

Dry ice blasting prides a non-conductive, environmentally responsible cleaning process that allows equipment to be cleaned in-place, without cool down disassembly. Cleaning with dry ice has a variety of useful benefits:

• Reducing catastrophic failure
• Improving mega-Ohm readings
• Increasing polarization indicator
• Improving thermal dissipation
• Reducing outage time

• Turbines
• Compressors & Generators
• AC/DC Motors
• Circuit Breakers
• Switch Gears
• Transformers
• Rotors
• Stators
• Insulator

Clean Your Power Generator Facility with Dry Ice

Power Generation professionals know one key to peak performance is clean electrical equipment. However, the demand to keep the equipment running often leads to deferred cleaning and maintenance, reduced efficiency, and in some cases, outages caused by flashover.

Dry ice blasting prides a non-conductive, environmentally-responsible cleaning process that allows equipment to be cleaned in place and without cool down disassembly. In addition, the outage time typically needed for cleaning can be reduced up to 65 percent.

PRINT CLEANING WITH CO2

Dry ice blasting can optimize equipment performance and increase productivity in the printing industry. Cleaning with dry ice has a significant impact on machinery performance:

• Dramatically shorten cleaning times
• Reduce scrap rates
• Restore print quality

Equipment never performs better than after a thorough clean. ASM Environmental offers dry ice blasting services that provide efficient cleaning for:

• Grippers and rollers
• Drums and ink trays
• Gears and deck guides
• Side walls
• Feeder / delivery units
• Letterpress
• Flexography gravure presses

Clean Your Printing Facility with Dry Ice

Dry ice blasting can result in optimal equipment performance and increased productivity for the printing industry. Dry ice blasting systems allow lengthy cleaning processes to be shortened by on-line precision cleaning.

Improve Print Quality and Reduce Scrap Rates

In many printing facilities, the cleaning of the side frames and print deck mechanism is usually avoided until absolutely necessary. This causes unavoidable ink buildup on the gears and deck guides, and causes poor alignment which results in low print quality and high scrap rates. Dry ice blasting can reduce or eliminate this concern.

Reduce Lost Production Time

Typically, several hours are spent on each color station to scrape and wipe the critical surfaces. With today’s modern presses having six to eight color decks, cleaning downtime can easily add up to several thousands of dollars of lost production per cleaning cycle. However, ASM Environmental’s dry ice blast cleaning system can clean both sides of the deck in as little as 10-15 minutes before going back into production. Dried out drip pans and fountains can easily be cleaned as well.

No Manual Scraping, No Shutdowns

Not only does dry ice blasting speed up the cleaning process, but it cleans better, too. In a typical cleaning process, manual scraping requires 20-30 man-hours per piece of equipment. Using ASM Environmental’s dry ice blasting process, the same piece of equipment can be cleaned in less than two hours. With this type of speed and efficiency, there is no longer any need to wait for the next shutdown to clean.

The Bottom Line

It is now cost-effective to do your cleaning between job changes on the press, giving you more production time and higher production rates. Dry ice blasting replaces the use of dangerous solvents, scrapers, chisels and emery cloths without having to dismantle the press thus eliminating many direct and indirect costs such as downtime hours, poor printing quality, increased scrap, wear of machine parts and disposal of hazardous waste and solvents.
