CO2 snow blasting is used for the cleaning and pretreating of solid surfaces. Additionally, there are applications for cutting, deburring and cooling.

Applications for this process are within production, repair, maintenance and services and can be implemented in almost all industries:

• Automotive industry,
• Synthetics,
• Rubber industry,
• Electronics,
• Chemical industry,
• Pharmaceutics,
• Food industry,
• Foundries,
• Printing,
• Aviation,
• Transport,
• Energy,
• Services.

CO2 snow blasting machines have a huge potential and maximum flexibility. In general, the machines are implemented to remove the following surface impurities: particles, dust, grease, oil, finger prints, releasing agents, black wash, manufacturing residues, glue and adhesive deposits, polishing residues, anticorrosive agents, cooling lubricants, asphalt, wax, varnishes and thin coats of paints, smoke residue, fluxing agent deposits, soot, limescale as well as germs and fungi.

Examples of application

1. Cleaning of tools and moulds

• Polyurethan (releasing agents, manufacturing residues)
• Diecasting, ingot moulds, core boxes (releasing agents, black wash, manufacturing residues)
• Electroplating (manufacturing residues)
• Tire moulds, vulcanization tools, ventilating valves (manufacturing residues)
• PET blow forms (manufacturing residues, deposits)
• Plastic injection tools (manufacturing residues, deposits)
• Manufacturing tools for composites (releasing agents, manufacturing residues)
