By using dry ice pellets that vaporize to carbon dioxide on impact, the Cryonomic system abolishes the time needed to retrieve hazardous waste that is normally associated with chemical, sand and wet-blasting systems.
This characteristic of the dry ice blasting process also eradicates the need for the costly storage of chemicals.
Cryonomic cleaning enables the removal of persistent contamination layers without generating additional waste.
Dry ice cleaning can be used for solving cleaning problems in applications where neither sand nor water/chemicals can, or should, be used.
Typical applications include the removal of paint, carbon, grease, resin and adhesives as well as the cleaning of moulds in the metal, rubber and plastic industries.
The aerospace, food and printing industries will also benefit from the Cryonomic system.
The Cryonomic VSU cleaning units are produced with a sturdy forklift accessible base, four wheels and two standard crane hooks for optimal mobility so that they can be easily transferred to the object to be cleaned.
The have been built to withstand every type of heavy-duty cleaning task in all kinds of environments.
Available in three options ranging from a simple start/stop operation to a remote controlled version that allows adjustment to all operating parameters from the gun.
An extensive range of nozzles enables the Cryonomic system to environmentally clean a variety of equipment whilst at the same time improving quality and production yield.
Available from exclusive UK agent, MSM, the Cryonomic system is built to IP55 and comes with standard European accreditations and guarantees.
It will prove the ideal tool for a wide range of maintenance applications.
