Dry Ice Blasting
Dry ice blasting is one blasting process that I have never had experience with, but figured I would share information about it because it is interesting. This process is much cleaner since the ice particles simply evaporate after being blasted. The ice particles replaces the abrasive media that is commonly used in regular sandblasting. Carbon dioxide gas is used to create the dry ice particles.
The benefits of dry ice blasting are:
- requires no clean-up
- cleans your items without abrading the surface away
This can be an expensive process but many larger companies use this for cleaning food and packaging equipment, engines and much more.
I tried to send you a question on another part of your site, but it will not deliver. So let please try again, I have a standard pot: aperture on top for putting material in and an exit on the bottom with a hose and a simple valve similar to one you have pictured. My problem is the material gets clogged up at the bottom. I get an inishial blast, more than I need, and then nothing. If I shake the pot I get another blast and nothing again. Is it my pot, the material (I have tried garnet, fine sand, walnut shells, ect) or my nozzle or the routing of my hose?
