Ice Clean Systems' abrasive dry ice cleaning and dry ice blasting systems utilize small, rice-sized particles of dry ice as the cleaning media. Using high velocity air, these particles of dry ice are directed toward the surface being cleaned where the particles convert from a solid into a gas, leaving only the removed surface contaminant for disposal. The company says the particles will not generate any secondary waste. The belt cleaning process is said to save up to 90 percent of abrasive sanding costs, reduce downtime required for belt changes, and enhance quality.
