Cold Jet Dry Ice Blasting - We Saved This Insurer $600,000!!!

The insurance carrier had bids coming in to replace the metal walls and roof that couldn't be cleaned on this huge barn. Of course, we knew it could be cleaned and were able to clean the whole space in six big days.
The adjuster told us we saved them $600,000 and six months on this single project!
A fire can cause soot and smoke damage to metal, brick and concrete and charring to wood. This type of damage is unsightly and holds odor. Traditionally, the removal method has been sanding, scraping and wire brushing. With Cold Jet, this long and tedious process can be eliminated.
Cold Jet dry ice blasting has become the preferred method to remove smoke soot, vaporized synthetic resins and char. It has even been known to reduce or eliminate the musty burnt smell that results from fire, smoke and water damage. Cold Jet dry ice blasting provides a fast and efficient removal of smoke damage even in the tight angles of trusses, around nails, wiring and all plumbing without damage to the surface integrity.
Traditional cleaning methods are time consuming and tedious, not to mention ineffective for complete removal. Dry ice cleaning is up to three times faster than traditional methods!!!.
Cleaning with Cold Jet Dry Ice Blasting in a Fire Restoration Provides:
No secondary waste
Reduced cleaning time (up to 80%)
Increase in Quality standards
Clean in-place, no cool down, with minimal disassembly
A non-abrasive clean that won’t damage substrates
Non-conductive process
Media entrapment elimination
Increased operator safety
An environmentally responsible clean

where can i purchase the ice blasting machine , i live in usa /nyc

[@wesbewry3750]

How many 500 lbs tubs did you use to complete this particular project?

[@ColdJetAustraliaPty]

Hi Wes, you normally use an average of 300kg of dry ice for an 8-hour shift, and the cleaning speed could be between 25 to 35 square meters per hour.. Cheers.

Hi James, the roller doors on our garage are a white/grey colour and have become very dirty over the years. I've tried washing them with a pressure washer using water, soap and scrubbing them with a broom. They come up fairly clean but I'm still not happy with the results. Would your dry ice machine clean the 'colourbond' surface? I believe it is a 'colourbond' surface but not exactly sure. I'm in Melbourne, Australia.

What can you say about "carbon footprint" of your technology during the newest European regulations?

Hi Dock,
hopefully, the following information may answer your questions, or at least you may find it useful:
Due to a tightening regulatory environment and a greater awareness of environmental standards, environmentally friendly cleaning methods are becoming more important to the industry.
Traditional cleaning methods oftentimes involve the generation of harmful secondary waste and the use of harsh chemicals, which negatively affect both the environment and the individual performing the cleaning.
Dry ice blasting is an ideal solution for those looking for an environmentally friendly cleaning solution.
The dry ice blasting process isn’t just any cleaning or surface preparation solution. It’s specially designed to use our planet’s resources well and promote a healthier environment for workers in manufacturing and industrial settings.
1. Dry ice is made of reclaimed CO2
Rather than using new resources, which are unnecessary and costly, dry ice blasting recycles once-used CO2 in order to repurpose it. All dry ice used in the dry ice blasting process is made from reclaimed CO2, which is a byproduct of other industrial processes, such as oil refinery activities or large-scale fermentation.
This CO2, which would have otherwise been released into the atmosphere, is captured and given new life as dry ice. Dry ice blasting does not produce more CO2.
2. Dry ice blasting eliminates harmful secondary waste
When the dry ice impacts the surface being cleaned, it sublimates - turns directly from a solid to a gas-and thus does not produce secondary waste. All that remains is the dislodged contaminant that was removed from the surface.
Similar techniques such as soda blasting or power washing, also use a media accelerated in a pressurized air system, leaving behind a residue that must be cleaned up with the contaminant. This media can become hazardous and create downstream contamination and harm the surrounding area and installations.
For example, if proper containment is not used, soda from the soda blasting process will seep into the soil of surrounding vegetation, which can negatively affect the pH levels of the soil and kill the vegetation.
The secondary waste created by these methods often requires special handling, disposal, and regulatory reporting.
3. Dry ice blasting is non-toxic and eliminates the need for chemical solvents
The dry ice used in the dry ice blasting process is a food-grade media and is EPA, FDA and USDA approved for use around food manufacturing. It is colorless, tasteless, odorless, and non-toxic.
Dry ice blasting eliminates the need for chemical cleaning solvents in many applications.
Rather than making employees scrape off contaminants with hand tools and harsh chemicals, workers can keep a safe distance by using the dry ice cleaning process, eliminating that manual labor and any potential harm caused by prolonged exposure to cleaning chemicals.
The solution also prevents downstream contamination from chemicals. With dry ice, there are no remnants of the cleaning method to leave any trace on the environment.
