Cleaning

MARINETECH INDUSTRIAL CLEANING

 

Dry ice blasting is a relatively new cleaning process using solid CO2 pellets, also known as dry ice. To date, it has primarily used in industrial applications, though with less expensive and easier to use units, the variety of uses has expanded. The pellets sublimate (convert directly from a solid to a vapor, in this case carbon dioxide gas), leaving no residue. The process is superior to sand blasting, glass bead blasting and other types of cleaning methods in many cases for numerous reasons.

                                                                                                                                   

Dry ice cleaning is quickly becoming favored for environmental as well as production results. In part because of increasing environmental regulations, but also because of disposal efficiency, industry always wants to minimize wastes. There is also a growing consciousness of the global environmental impact of production practices. Environmental considerations are only a part of the advantage, however.  There are tremendous performance gains through dry ice blasting, such as little to no production downtime, the quality of finished cleaned components and lack of damage to equipment.

Apart from the dry ice pellet blasting, Marinetech has adopted new method of liquid carbon dioxide cleaning known as Snowblast cleaning. Snowblast is an effective way to remove particle and light hydrocarbon contamination from hybrid circuits, fiber optics, mirrors, silicon wafers, disk drive assemblies, flat panel display substrates, metal and plastic parts, medical instruments, and many other components that require precision cleaning. The Snowblast cleans light hydrocarbons and removes particles as small as 0.1 micron! Anideal solution for yacht equipment such as telecom, navigation and observation instruments and installations.

Marinetech has developed the entire range of dry ice cleaning aplications in partnership with ICEsonic, leading developer and manufacturer of the dry ice blasting equipment since 2000.
