dry ice blasting equipment not spraying ice? Don’t worry!

Some customers encounter the following issues when using dry ice blasting equipment: What is the difference between the HTS705 and HTS708 models? Why can’t the newly purchased dry ice blasting equipment be used? What size of dry ice pellets should be used? Why does the CO2 blasting machine suddenly stop producing ice after some use? It’s clear that customers lack detailed knowledge about the performance and usage of the dry ice blaster for sale. In this article, we will take a deeper dive into dry ice blasting machines, so that users can resolve issues more quickly and efficiently when operating them.

Precautions:

• Our dry ice blaster for sale needs to be used with an air compressor.
1. Air compressor configuration requirements: Power greater than 7.5kW, air tank capacity greater than 300L; maintain an output air pressure of 6 bar or higher.
2. Air compressor image:

• Recommended dry ice specification: Particle size 3~5mm, as shown in the image:

• Due to the high transportation cost of dry ice, we recommend searching for “dry ice for sale near me” to purchase locally.
• When using dry ice, personal protective equipment is required. Our package includes goggles and gloves.
• The AUTOOL CO2 blasting machine is mainly used for cleaning carbon deposits from car engines and removing mud and oil stains from the vehicle chassis; it is not effective for completely removing rust from car parts.
• If your air compressor does not have a dry-wet filter device, please drain it regularly to prevent excessive moisture from causing the dry ice in your equipment to stick together and make it difficult to spray.
• When stopping work, make sure to adjust the ice output to the minimum; otherwise, the dry ice in the pipes can block the system.

Q&A:

Question 1: What is the difference between HTS707/708?
A: The only difference is the dry ice capacity: HTS705 has a capacity of 5kg, while HTS708 has 7.5kg. All other functions are the same. If you are concerned about shipping costs, we recommend purchasing the HTS705.

Question 2: Why can’t the newly purchased dry ice blasting equipment be used?
A: Our dry ice blasting equipment requires an external air compressor to operate. Please refer to the “Precautions” section above for the specific requirements.

Question 3: Why does the dry ice blasting equipment stop producing ice after some use?
A:
• Please first check if the dry ice is blocked:
a. Check if the ice output pipe is blocked. If it is, remove the pipe and let it melt automatically.
b. Confirm if your air compressor meets the required specifications (7.5kW, 300L). Insufficient air pressure can cause the dry ice to block.
c. If your air compressor is 5.5kW with a 500L air tank, it can be used with the dry ice machine. However, continuous cleaning is not possible. You will need to wait for the pressure to build up before cleaning again. In this case, cleaning can be done for about 10 minutes. Pay attention to the pressure display; if it drops below 6 bar, it indicates low air pressure, and you should stop to avoid causing a blockage of the dry ice.
• If the dry ice is not blocked:
a. Is the machine able to turn on and off properly? If not, the issue may be with the mainboard. Please contact us for a free replacement.
b. If the machine can turn on, check if the turntable is rotating. If it’s not rotating, there may be an issue with internal components (such as the inverter, transformer, etc.). Please contact us for a free replacement.
c. If the mainboard and components are fine, observe whether air pressure is being sprayed out. Does the display show above 6 bar? What is the ice output setting? If any of these are normal, the issue may be with the switch. Please contact us for a replacement.
d. What is the size of the dry ice being used? If the size is larger than 3mm, it could also cause the machine to not produce ice.

Question 4: Can the CO2 blasting machine be used for extended periods continuously?
A: It cannot be used for long periods continuously, as it may result in insufficient pressure and prevent the machine from producing ice.

Other Questions:

• Are there any other compatible spray nozzles recommended?
◦ We recommend the flat spray nozzle, which has a larger output, providing better cleaning performance.

• Can the dry ice blasting equipment clean adhesives and sealants on machines? — No
◦ The dry ice blasting equipment is mainly used for cleaning oil sludge, grease, and carbon deposits.
◦ It provides comprehensive cleaning of carbon deposits on all automotive parts (such as throttle valves, intake valves, engine components, cylinder combustion chambers, wheel hubs, etc.) without the need to disassemble the components.

• How much dry ice is needed to clean a car engine? — If the entire engine bay needs to be cleaned, approximately 15kg of dry ice will be required.

• How many PSI does the CO2 blasting machine need to operate normally? — It requires more than 90 PSI.

• Can the hose be longer?
◦ If it’s the intake hose, it can be longer, and it supports lengths of up to several dozen meters.
◦ If it’s the ice output hose, it’s not recommended to increase its length, as it may affect the cleaning performance.
◦ The blasting hose has a fixed length of 3.3 meters.
