why not just water pressure jet. The biggest problem with ice blasting it doesnt leave a profile on the metal surface which is required for protective coatings
Maybe ice cubes would be cheaper to come by than dry ice pellets, however the primary reason dry ice is used: It doesn't leave behind any secondary material to clean up: liquid water. It also doesn't interfere with electronics and other water-sensitive materials. You wouldnt H2O- blast live breaker boxes. Additionally dry ice destroys microbes on any surface.
That’s a great point. It’s useful to remember that ice blasting uses 95% less water than a pressure washer, with much of the remainder evaporating from impact energy. So the amount of residual moisture is quite minimal. Since ice also has a property whereby it captures dust and airborne contaminants, the only residue left behind is a small pile of off-colour snow. This pile of slush, with the removed contaminant encapsulated inside of it, can be easily gathered up if a simple tarp is placed beneath the blast zone. So ice has a similar advantage as dry ice, over other blast medias, in that it does not leave behind additional waste and cleanup is very easy. But ice accomplishes this even better because, during dry ice blasting, the blasted-off contaminants become airborne, which can be hazardous and difficult to contain. In addition to the significant cost saving benefit of using ice, which you mentioned, ice blasting has several other advantages as well, such as being safer (CO2 tends to quickly build up during dry ice blasting, which can lead to asphyxiation if operated in enclosed, improperly ventilated areas. There is also a danger of frostbite when handling dry ice) and providing a more thorough cleaning. But you are correct in pointing out that dry ice blasting is ideal for the specialized case of cleaning electrical equipment and water sensitive materials. So, in order to provide our customers with the most versatile tool possible, capable of tackling any situation, we’ve recently announced that the next generation of IceStorm90 industrial cleaning machines, sold by Coulson Ice Blast, will be capable of blasting with either ice or dry ice. At the push of a button, these machines reconfigure for either ice or dry ice blasting. For more information, you can check out our launch video for this Dual Ice machine (ruclips.net/video/b2mEu4FKhTE/видео.html), as well as our website (www.coulsoniceblast.com/).
Ice can be used in many applications and is not only cheaper but also superior. Ice is the only medium to use all three states of matter during blasting; solid state to hit with maximum impact for bulk removal, liquid state to trap and contain airborne contaminants, and gaseous state to minimize waste streams and provide the final rinse. Thus, decontamination and cleaning can be done in one step; for many alternative media, an additional rinse following the blasting action is required, increasing water requirements. This also means that ice doesn't leave behind any secondary material to clean up (e.g. liquid water) because liquid water evaporates. However, we do agree that for some applications such as water-sensitive materials wet ice blasting can not be used. Due to this reason, we developed a dual blaster that can blast with both wet ice and dry ice so that you can get the best of both worlds: wet ice blasting that saves you a lot of time and money whenever possible and when moisture cannot be tolerated you can simply switch to dry ice at the touch of a button.

I found this so interesting, for what is shown on the video, it can really take out the dirt and paints. Th e questioned is, is this effective for surface preparations where it can provide desired profile for coating.
One problem with the ice blasting is that you'll have water puddles with big tasks. Aside from that, I'm sure the ice machine would still be expensive.
hello sir myself Bhati C U from india. I have show this video and want know more about it . What is the cost of this machine and how much gas is used to clean a particular item. What is the profit ratio is in this business.
Yes it can :) If you'd like to know more about the machine customized for your needs, please do not hesitate to reach out to our wonderful sales team. We can even do virtual demos or sample cleaning: www.coulsoniceblast.com/contact-us

Somewhere in Antarctica, they are doing hot blasting.
Dryice is very effective no water & non conductive because dry.
Notice how much smoother and cleaner the substrate's surface is from the dry ice blasting...(14:05)🤔

Good comment. You also wouldn't benefit from the sub thermal temperature of the dry ice...
I found this so interesting, for what is shown on the video, it can really take out the dirt and paints. Th e questioned is, is this effective for surface preparations where it can provide desired profile for coating.
nice,but....
These machines don't typically etch into the substrate surface, but provide an exceptional cleaning...
Nice
One problem with the ice blasting is that you'll have water puddles with big tasks. Aside from that, I'm sure the ice machine would still be expensive.
Our machine uses dry ice, so that eliminates excess water, but very costly...
@@darrellwilson5808 What's your point?
the dry ice sublimates... there is no water to be left, at all.. sublimation is when the pellets turn into gas@@theunholinesswithin3601
Magical
Ice blast is not really in removing rust. Better use sand or laser
Just seems like to me, using traditional ice, you would inevitably have problems with moisture and rust...

Hi, can you reach out to us here and our sales team would be happy to help: www.coulsoniceblast.com/contact-us
What amout of air and pressure do You use?
The air pressure used for each job varies.
Could this be used to clean pool tile?
Yes it can :) If you'd like to know more about the machine customized for your needs, please do not hesitate to reach out to our wonderful sales team. We can even do virtual demos or sample cleaning: www.coulsoniceblast.com/contact-us
That is better than co2 blast.
a lot cheaper than laser cleaning
are some of your units reasonably priced for the domestic market ?
