Reduce cleaning time up to 80% with Dry Ice Blasting
Dry Ice Blasting has met the Electrical Industry’s challenge of operating efficiency and uptime. Dry Ice Blasting, a non-conductive process, can restore both rotating and stationary electrical equipment to peak performance with dramatically shorter outages. Due to growing demand for electricity, some equipment such as pad-mounted switchgears and substations go without maintenance. This results in less efficient operation and unplanned outages caused by flashover.
Dry Ice Blasting cleans electrical generating equipment to maintain reliable operation. Dirty electrical apparatus will overheat and be prone to arc-overs. Downtime for cleaning means lower plant productivity. Dry Ice Blasting also allows the units to be cleaned in place without damage to cables and insulation, and no explosive solvents. Dry Ice Blasting of small electronic components is simple, safe and fast. Dry ice cleaning does not require solvents to remove and surface residue material from the components as they move along the assemble line. There is no damage to their plated surfaces. Dry Ice Blasting will also remove masking wax used in specialized plating processes.
Dry Ice Blasting of motors lets the equipment stay in place. With Dry Ice Blasting, you eliminate the dirt while eliminating the vats of solvent, labour-consuming disassembly, moving heavy apparatus to the cleaning area, laborious cleaning with the possibility of insulation damage by hand tools during cleaning, drying time from organic solvents or water from a pressure washer or steam jet, and cleanup of the dirty solvent or water.
Dry Ice Blasting does not damage insulation on the windings, while removing dirt, oil and carbon residue that may cause arcing or heat buildup.
Applications • Electric motors. • Fire and smoke damage. • Generators. • Turbines. • Insulators and switches. • Cable ways & trays. • Small electric components. • Electric switch boards.
Pay Back on • Better cleaning. • No chemicals. • No water. • No blasting media. • No waste disposal. • Reduced cleaning time and associated labour costs. • Clean your equipment on site. • Non-abrasive, gentle to the surface to be cleaned.

Online Cleaning -reduce production downtime Dry ice blasting often allows the company’s produc- tion equipment to be cleaned while in operation without the need for dismantling and costly downtime - a significant economic benefit.
No Waste Disposal Costs connected with the disposal of hazardous chemicals or solvents are saved because dry ice vaporises on contact with the surface being treated. Only the dislodged coating material must be removed rom beneath the treated object.
Return on Investment Dry Ice Blasting is extremely efficient, less time- consuming and very gentle to equipment to be cleaned, and therefore, the investment is paid back within short time of use. Ice Tech can inform you about dry ice blasting price.
