Dry Ice Blasting

PolarJet - Dry Ice Cleaner for the Machine Industry

Dry ice blasting - The revolutionary cleaning method
Thanks to the use of dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide at -78,5 °C) it is now possible to clean molds from plastic or silicon residuals, remove grease, oil, releasing agent, wax, glue, and paints with a far smaller effort than before. Dry ice cleaning has a series of advantages when it comes to claening moulds, parts, tools, machines and installations.

Advantages of dry ice blasting :

  • The hardness of the pellets is only about 2 Mohs causing no wear of the surface and thereby substantially increasing the life time of the part.
  • After cleaning, the surface does not need drying or after-treatment.
  • Molds, dies and machinery do not need to be disassembled for cleaning, thereby reducing downtime.
  • Reinigung von elektrischen Anlagen auch während dem Betrieb.
  • Easy to automate.
  • Environmentally sane.

    Dry ice blasting - Makes cleaning a fun job

    PolarJet - Optimized for the machine industry
    Due to its small footprint, low pressurized air consumption and its design according to machine industry needs, the PolarJet overcomes the traditional limits of dry ice blasting. Particularly, the low consumption of pressurized air of only 500 l/min allows for operation with compressors that are allready installed; no need to buy a more powerful compressor, an investment that is in itself much higher than the cost of the dry ice cleaning unit.

    Construction of the PolarJet:

  • Small consumption of pressurized air permitting the use of standard compressors and thereby substantially reducing the total investment.
  • Purchase cost about 60% lower than industry standard.
  • Transportability due to small weight.
  • Low dry ice consumption : 5 -10 kg/h.
  • Lower noise level.
  • Specifically constructed for cleaning difficult geometric shapes as moulds, pneumatic parts, electromotors, slits.
  • Simple, reliable construction.

    Scope of application
    The advantages of dry ice cleaning plus the design features of the unit make the PolarJet the ideal solution for a broad range of cleaning applications:

  • Cleaning of injection moulding, die casting and chill casting moulds.
  • Deburrring of plastic, rubber and diecasting parts. Can be automated.
  • Cleaning of electrical parts even when under tension.
  • Removing of releasing agent, wax, glue, and may other residuals.
  • Cleaning of delicate components.
