Stanley
Steemer introduces the Cold Jet Aero 40 to its inventory,
which provides the preferred method for mold remediation
by most environmental scientists
More efficient,
cleaner and more cost effective than any other type of
media blasting, dry ice blasting gives Stanley Steemer flexibility
to handle all types of mold remediation as well as other
applications with fire and water damage.
Dry ice blasting
is similar to sand blasting, plastic bead blasting, or soda
blasting where a medium is accelerated in a pressurized
air stream to impact a surface to be cleaned or prepared.
But that’s where the similarity ends.
Instead of using
hard abrasive media to grind on a surface (and damage it),
dry ice blasting uses soft dry ice, accelerated at supersonic
speeds, and creates mini-explosions on the surface to lift
the undesirable item off the underlying substrate.
Dry ice blasting
has many unique and superior benefits over traditional blasting
media.
Dry ice
blasting:
* is a non-abrasive, nonflammable and nonconductive cleaning
method
* is environmentally-friendly and contains no secondary
contaminants such as solvents or grit media
* is clean and approved for use in the food industry
* allows most items to be cleaned in place without time-consuming
disassembly
* can be used without damaging active electrical or mechanical
parts or creating fire hazards
* can be used to remove production residues, release agents,
contaminants, paints, oils and biofilms
* can be as gentle as dusting smoke damage from books or
as aggressive as removing weld slag from tooling
* can be used for many general cleaning applications
Cold Jet dry
ice blasting uses compressed air to accelerate frozen carbon
dioxide (CO2) “dry ice” pellets to a high velocity.
A compressed air supply of 80 PSI/50 scfm can be used in
this process. Dry ice pellets can be made on-site or supplied.
Pellets are made from food grade carbon dioxide that has
been specifically approved by the FDA, the EPA and the USDA.
Carbon dioxide
is a non-poisonous, liquefied gas, which is both inexpensive
and easily stored at work sites.*
