Dry ice is widely used in industry, but be careful not to touch it with your bare hands as it can damage your skin. The Cold Jet company is a world leader in dry ice blasting technology and dry ice production, so factories in Poland and around the world use dry ice blasting technology. #dryice #technologia #subscribe
In today's episode, we visit a plant in the Greater Poland Voivodeship to find out what dry ice blasting is all about.
Dry ice cleaning of machines reduces disassembly to a minimum and significantly reduces downtime and interruptions in production. Let's see how dry ice cleaning of machines works
00:00 How is dry ice blasting.
00:33 Dry Ice What's This?
Dry ice is actually carbon dioxide at -79 degrees Celsius (frost). It is the same gas that we exhale and that plants use to photosynthesize. It is inexpensive, non-flammable and easy to store in a liquid state. Dry ice particles are very soft and prevent it from rubbing the surface. It is therefore ideal for cleaning metal parts, e.g. cleaning machines, without damaging them. Dry ice is a much faster and more efficient alternative than chemical cleaning, mechanical cleaning or an ultrasonic cleaner.
01:10 Dry ice how to store?
Dry ice is applied in the form of pellets or blocks.
01:35 Dry ice how is it made?
Ice particles, accelerated to supersonic speed in a stream of compressed air, hit the dirty surface.
02:03 Sublimation what is it?
Maciej Doczekała from Cold Jet Polska answers. The last effect that occurs when cleaning with dry ice is the sublimation effect, i.e. the transition of a dry ice particle from a solid to a gas.
02:18 Production of PCS 60 and Microclean 2 devices.
Every day industrial companies struggle with the problem of removing dirt. How to deal with it in the factory? Dry ice comes into play. We visit Cold Jet Polska in Oborniki, Greater Poland Voivodeship. The plant produces, among others PCS 60 and Microclean devices 2.
02:41 PCS 60 Cold Jet.
The heart, or rather the brain, of the PCS 60 is the control panel. Thanks to it, we can set the amount of ice served and the air pressure. The machine has its own ice crushing option, so you can get as many as 28 fractions.
03:40 Fine cleaning device: Microclean 2.
04:08 Dry ice blasting is an environmentally friendly process.
Dry ice - unlike other cleaning agents such as sand or soda - sublimes and therefore does not contribute to secondary waste. But it is also not chemically and mechanically aggressive, we extend the life of the cleaned items.
Remember, these are not experiments for children!
