Gases for cryogenic cleaning

Industrial cleaning with dry ice

OXIGEN salud supplies gases for industrial cryogenic cleaning. The gas used is dry ice pellets (solid CO₂).

This cleaning technology propels dry ice pellets at high speeds on the surface that needs cleaning. With the low temperature of the pellets (-78.5ºC) and the high-pressure impact, the layer of dirt contracts and easily comes off the surface to which it is adhered.

Dry ice can be used to clean different types of surfaces: walls, floors, metallic surfaces, etc. Its applications in the industrial sector include:

• Cleaning of industrial waste, paints, sealant materials, lubricants, ink, etc.
• Eliminating glues and resulting waste.
• Cleaning of industrial moulds and machinery.

Cryogenic cleaning has numerous advantages:

• It does not produce waste and does not leave moisture.
• It is a non-abrasive method that does not damage surfaces.
• No need to disassemble machinery for cleaning.
• Great degreaser power.

Dry ice pellets for cryogenic cleaning are supplied in different-sized cryogenic containers with a 5, 15, and 20 kg pellet capacity.
