It’s all cool until you know the price of compressor that is able to consistently supply air for that thing) or am I wrong? Steam by my observation is more cost effective
Great stuff - but l guess you would want to clean tar covered objects somewhere you dont need to clean up later as is will be all over the ground. Cheers
In principle, this is the same as glass blasting. But I like the idea of using ice particles. You don't need to clean up - it'll just melt. The negative side - you can only use it outside or you'll flood your shop.
Thank you for your excellent comment. There actually isn't much water left over after ice blasting. The IceStorm90 ice blasting machine uses a maximum of 3-5 pounds of ice per minute. This translates into 0.36-0.6 gallons of water per minute. Comparatively, small pressure washers, such as those commonly seen in use in front of houses, use around 3.5 gpm, with nowhere near as much cleaning power. So ice blasting uses about 1/10th of the water compared to pressure washing. Additionally, due to the high release of energy as the ice impacts the surface, there is a significant amount of evaporation. Here is a video showing an application where low water usage was essential: ruclips.net/video/2_5oZXAHSy4/видео.html. You can find out more on our website: coulsoniceblast.com/
I could watch that last clip for an hour. I just love this stuff
Awesome! Let us know if you have any questions.

or use something for containment for easy waste clean up.
It's ice it melts for everything else use vacuum

Maloy7800 na just use it in a room with a drain or make one.

Maybe I'm wrong but isn't a DRY ICE blasting? Dry ice is solid CO2... it's dry... don't use water
Awesom music. Sounds like something Justin Timberlake would do.
