The advantages of ASCOEJT dry ice blasting are as follows:
Gentle: The surfaces of the molds and tools are not damaged or altered. The edges and corners remain intact and the product quality is improved.
No dismantling: ASCOJET Dry Ice Blasting can be applied directly onto the production equipment. The forms do not need to be removed or cooled down allowing virtually continuous production and avoiding expensive shut-down time. This way the cleaning process can easily be integrated as a fixed part of the production process.
No secondary waste: The blasting material, dry ice (100 % CO2), turns to gas as soon as it hits the surface. Thus, there is no blasting material to be disposed of. Best of all, work conditions are improved because dry ice blasting does not expose the staff to additional dust from sand or grit blasting.
Environmentally friendly: As no secondary waste is created, and no solvents or other chemical substances are used, ASCOJET dry ice blasting is an environmentally friendly cleaning method.
Dry: As this blasting system leaves a dry surface, there is no danger that electrical components could be damaged.
