AUTOOL HTS705 Dry Ice Cleaning Machine Dry Ice Blaster

• Recommend using preferably 3 mm dry ice pellets and up to 8 mm dry ice pellets.
• Machine requires 90 PSI or more for proper operation.
• Suggest to use a 1.5m³/min compressor, which with a 300L air tank to supply the air pressure and store air pressure in the air tank.
• The blasting hose is 3m.
• Machie’s operating power is more than 1.5m³/min.
• The connection of the air inlet is a female 4-part (1/2) thread with an inner diameter of about 19mm.
• Nozzle sizes are available in 5mm and 6mm.
• We can customize a longer hose for you if you need the engine decarbonizer machine; the longest hose is 5m. You need to pay extra fees for it. Please contact us for more details.
• The tariff policy varies from country to country, and some countries do not have tariffs while others do. Good news: The tariffs of HTS705 shipped from China to the US can be free, tariffs for shipping to other countries can also be reduced.
• Because AUTOOL HTS705 has a relatively high shipping cost and also needs to pay certain customs duty, so it does not support returns. Please be sure to contact us if there is any problem with the HTS705 or if you have any questions. We will make sure we solve your problems, provide you with the best customer service, and ensure you are 100 percent happy with your purchase. Thanks 🙂

• There are three main factors that affect the dry ice cleaning process. These factors are the kinetic energy of the particles, the thermal shock effect and the thermodynamic effect. To explain the process more easily, we have created the following acronym (ICE).
• Impact – The impact of the particles creates a kinetic effect. Compressed air accelerates the soft dry ice at supersonic speed through specially designed nozzles.
• Cold – The low temperature of the dry ice pellets creates a thermal effect. The temperature of the dry ice (-109°F / -78.9°C) causes the contaminant to become brittle. This helps to break the bond between the substrate and the contaminant.
• Expansion – The expansion of dry ice pellets. Dry ice pellets sublimate on impact, expanding in volume and removing contaminants.

Because of its unique properties, dry ice has many advantages that make it a more attractive cleaning solution than alternatives. Benefits include.

1. Cleaning equipment in place with little or no disassembly
2. Dry cleaning without the use of water or chemicals
3. Reduced downtime associated with cleaning
4. Cleaning without secondary waste
5. Improved product quality and reduced scrap
6. Eliminate equipment wear and tear
7. An environmentally sustainable cleaning method

Dry ice blasting requires a simple setup. Along with your dry ice blasting machine, we will equip the system with the blasting and air hoses, applicators, and nozzles that best suit your application.

The only other items required for the operating system are:

• Compressed air source (plant air or air compressor)
• Power supply
• Dry ice supply

If you are using a portable diesel compressor as your air source, an aftercooler may be useful. The aftercooler removes most of the moisture from the system and cools the air to within 15°F (-9.4°C) of the ambient air. This depends largely on the humidity level.

Most of our customers purchase dry ice pellets or blocks from industrial gas suppliers, welding supply companies, and other regional or local suppliers. Dry ice can be purchased on an as-needed basis, or regular deliveries can be arranged to your facility. Regular delivery trucks covering a 100-mile radius are available in most major metropolitan areas. Dry ice can also be shipped using common carriers and delivered in insulated containers.

For manufacturers who regularly require large quantities of dry ice or work in remote areas, we recommend considering a dry ice production machine to meet the high demand.

• Dry ice is a commodity, and prices vary by region. Cleaning an automobile engine will typically require about 15 kg of dry ice.

• When working with CO 2, precautions must always be taken to ensure that the area is adequately ventilated and that the proper PPE is used when handling CO 2 in liquid or solid form (dry ice).
• Wear appropriate protective devices such as earplugs, glasses, gloves, and open-toed shoes when operating a dry ice blaster

• While dry ice blasting is effective in removing failing paint and weakly bonded paint, dry ice is a mild-medium, and in some applications, the use of dry ice alone is not always successful. There are many variables that determine the success of dry ice blasting, such as the adhesion of the paint and the type of paint and primer. Depending on the application, even high-pressure dry ice blasting can be too slow, too mild or ineffective.

• Dry ice blasting alone will remove any loosely adhered rust, surface rust, oxidation and salt (SP 6), but it will not remove deeply adhered or pitting oxidation. Due to the non-abrasive nature of dry ice, it is not sufficient to create contoured or white metal finishes.

• When following IAQA standards, dry ice blasting removes 99.9% of mold spores faster than traditional cleaning methods. The process eliminates timely manual cleaning without secondary waste, resulting in reduced mold remediation time, lower total labor costs and project time. The dry ice blasting process uses no chemicals and is able to deodorize the affected area.

• Dry ice blasting leaves no residue or waste. Dry ice sublimates on impact with the surface being cleaned, creating no secondary waste, residue or moisture. This eliminates additional cleanup, disposal of secondary waste streams and additional cleaning preparation, such as masking delicate sensors or wrapping electronic components prior to cleaning. This significantly reduces the duration of cleaning projects and the resulting downtime.
• Eliminating secondary waste also enables cleaning the equipment both inline and during operation.
