What is Dry Ice Blasting?
Dry Ice Blasting is the process whereby compressed air is used to accelerate frozen carbon dioxide (CO₂) "dry ice" pellets to high velocity.
Dry Ice is non toxic, non corrosive, non conductive and does not damage any metal surfaces.

blasting technology works.

How does CO₂ Blasting Work?
CO₂ blasting works because of three primary factors: pellet kinetic energy, thermal shock effect and thermalkinetic effect. Cold Jet optimizes blast performance for each application by combining these forces and adjusting:

compressed air pressure
blast nozzle type (velocity distribution)
CO₂ pellet size and density
pellet mass rate and flux density (particles per unit area per second)

Want to clean conductive equipment with a non-conductive process?
Electrical industry users of equipment and utilities face the equipment maintenance challenges of operating efficiency and uptime. Cold Jet's dry ice cleaning process meets those challenges by restoring 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 case by flashover. Cold Jet's patented radial feed "electrically isolated" blasting systems have been developed to support those applications that involve cleaning various types of energized electrical apparatus so that efficiency is restored with no power outages.
