Build-up of ink and grease on printing machinery can cause alignment problems and high scrap rates. In addition, clogging of vent slots and material build-up on other components can result in reduced print speed. Often, traditional cleaning methods to remove this build-up, such as scraping and wiping with chemical solvents, are delayed as long as possible to avoid lengthy production downtime. Dry Ice process allows safe and effective online cleaning in a fraction of the time of traditional methods.

In a typical cleaning process, manual scraping requires 20-30 man-hours per piece of equipment. Using the dry ice, there is no longer any need to wait for the next shutdown to clean. It is now cost effective to do your cleaning between jobs, on the press, resulting in increased production.

Dry ice blasting replaces the use of dangerous solvents, scrapers, chisels and emery cloths and eliminates the need to dismantle the press, reducing many direct and indirect costs such as downtime, poor printing quality, scrap, wear of machined parts, hazardous waste and solvents.

A Few Proven Printing Applications for Dry Ice Blasting Include:

  • Grippers / Rollers
  • Drums
  • Ink Trays
  • Gears and Deck Guides
  • Side Walls
  • Feeder / Delivery Units
  • Letterpress
  • Flexography
  • Gravure Presses

DRY ICE BLASTING: ELECTRICAL

Cleaning electrical equipment has always been problematic as most cleaning methods involve liquid and moisture. When dirt begins to collect and build up over a period of time, machinery can begin to overheat and function improperly. Dry ice blast cleaning offers a moisture free alternative to cleaning electrical equipment.

DRY ICE BLASTING BENEFITS:

Examples of Dry Ice Cleaning electrical equipment:

– Non Abrasive: no damage to the substrate
– No mess: sublimes into the atmosphere
– Superior clean: Traditional cleaning methods are more costly and damaging
– Health & Safety: Safe around electrical components
– No downtime costs: Equipment & machinery can be cleaned whilst still in
operation
– Moisture Free: Safe around electrics
– Eco Friendly: Provides environmentally safe clean
– Electric motor cleaning
– Electric control cabinets
– Circuit breakers and board cleaning
– Electrical production equipment
– Housings, stators, wiring, windings
