To know more about dry ice, we need to start with the manufacturing process of dry ice. Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. To maintain the solid state of dry ice, it must be stored at minus 78.5 degrees Celsius. Once the temperature rises, the dry ice will sublime. The raw material for making dry ice is liquid carbon dioxide. The liquid carbon dioxide storage tank is connected to the dry ice maker, and the dry ice maker produces dry ice of set specifications. At present, most of the dry ice specifications for dry ice cleaning machine in the industry are 3mm dry ice particles or called special dry ice particles for dry ice cleaning.
Industrial dry ice is now used to remove resin and clean some high-equipped equipments with efficient cleaning effects. Because of this feature, industrial dry ice is gradually being used in the automotive industry, which can clean the car compartment, top, and door skin, and has strong characteristics against oil pollution. The application range of dry ice in industrial molds: including tire molds, rubber molds, polyurethane molds, polyethylene molds, PET molds, foam molds, injection molds, alloy die casting molds, casting hot core boxes, cold core boxes, which can remove resin and fail. The release layer, carbonized film agent, oil stains, and vent holes are opened, and the mold is as bright as new after cleaning. It can realize on-line cleaning without cooling and disassembling the mold, avoiding the corrosion and damage to the mold by the chemical cleaning method, the mechanical damage and scratches on the mold caused by the mechanical cleaning method, and the shortcomings of the mold accuracy reduction caused by repeated loading and unloading. The key point is that it can eliminate the two most time-consuming steps of disassembling the mold and waiting for the mold to cool down, which can reduce downtime by about 80%-95%. Benefits of dry ice cleaning: Dry ice cleaning can reduce downtime; reduce equipment damage; extremely effective cleaning of high-temperature equipment; reduce or reduce the use of solvents; improve staff safety; improve maintenance efficiency; reduce production downtime, reduce costs, and increase production effectiveness.
At present, we provide professional dry ice cleaning machines (dry ice blasters, mold washing machines), dry ice making machines (dry ice pelletizers), dry ice equipment accessories and nozzles, etc., to maximize customer cleaning costs. Now the technology of making dry ice is very mature and can be widely used in various fields. In the mold manufacturing industry, such as polyethylene molds, PET molds, tire molds, rubber molds, etc., it can be used to clean residual resin, carbonized film agent, oil stains, etc. in the mold, effectively preventing equipment damage, and reducing production downtime. Production cost, improve production efficiency. Used in petrochemical power, it is used to remove coking, carbon, polyvinyl chloride resin, oil, rust, etc. in reactors, heat exchangers and other equipment. It can effectively decompose and clean the pollutants and avoid damage to the equipment. Energy consumption reduces equipment maintenance costs. In the food and pharmaceutical industry, effectively clean up the residue and oil in ovens, mixing equipment, packaging equipment, containers, biscuit oven bars and other equipment, and use dry ice to clean food manufacturing equipment to more thoroughly disinfect and sterilize and minimize damage equipment.
In addition, dry ice can also be used in the printing industry, automobile and ship industries, electronics and nuclear industries, refrigerated transportation and other places. In addition, dry ice can also be used in the field of fire protection and even some entertainment fields.
