Why EcoBlast

About Our Technology

Advanced European technology takes the cleaning industry to new levels with dry ice blast cleaning. This development in environmentally friendly cleaning is quickly advancing as the leader in cleaning methods.

Dry ice blast cleaning is a system that uses small rice size pellets of dry ice (CO2) and accelerates them using compressed air towards a surface to be cleaned.

The freezing temperature of the dry ice (-78.5°C or -109.3°F) being blasted against the material to be removed, causes it to decrease and releases adhesion from its sub surface. Additionally when the dry ice penetrates the material to be removed, it comes in contact with the underlying surface. The sub surface being warmer causes the dry ice to convert back into CO2 (carbon dioxide gas)

CO2 gas has 800 times greater volume and expands behind the material upon impact quickening its removal. Mold, paint, oil, grease, asphalt, tar, decals, soot, dirt, ink, resins, and adhesives are some of the many materials removed by this procedure. Only the material that has been removed must be disposed of, the dry ice evaporates into the atmosphere.


Mould Remediation & Mould Safety

Dry ice blast cleaning has quickly established itself as the preferred method for mould removal otherwise known as ‘mould remediation’.

Found on the inside of buildings and homes; mould can result in dangerous health concerns to inhabitants and visitors. Over 270 varieties of mould have been identified living in Canadian homes.

Spores and chemicals released from mould can cause serious illnesses, allergic reactions and a weakened immune system. People who are more susceptible to these dangers would be pregnant women, infants and the elderly. Although the presence of mould can affect anyone.


Protect Your Loved Ones

Optimal protection from the dangers of mould is the removal of mould;

Dry ice blasting is proven to clean more thoroughly than traditional labour-intensive mould removal techniques.

Soda blasting, sanders, scrapers and wire brushes are time consuming, inadequate and messy. Mould will grow in damp areas and will continue to flourish unless properly cleaned, sanitized and repaired.


Dry Ice vs Mould

  • Dry ice eliminates 100 percent of mould, spores and organic contaminants
  • Dry ice leaves no secondary waste
  • Dry ice cleans tight hard to reach places
  • Dry ice is non abrasive and won’t damage electrical or plumbing
  • Dry ice will reduce the need for biocides and encapsulation
  • Dry ice reduces remediation time up to 80% per project



Before & After
Environment
Lower Mainland, BC chooses a new and environmentally safe cleaning alternative:

CO2 used in blast cleaning is a recycled by-product recovered from other industrial processes. It means that dry ice blasting does not produce or add any CO2 into the atmosphere.

Safe Dry Ice Alternative:

  • Approved as safe cleaning method
  • Safe with food processing equipment
  • Non toxic (dissipate on contact)
  • No harmful gas emissions
  • No secondary waste
  • No contribution to greenhouse effect
Technology
The advanced AeRO 75-DX has high-pressure capabilities, various enhanced nozzles and other benefits to provide the results for any application.

Features:

  • Single hose high pressure, electric system
  • Aerodynamic rotor insuring high reliability
  • Smooth pulse free blast flow
  • Dry ice pellet feed rate of 0-7 lbs/min
  • Patented 75 lb isolated slide-out hopper
  • Easy open for filling with dry ice
  • Safety switch disables machine when open
  • Hose and nozzle management devices
  • Hour meter tracks intervals & job costing
Dry Ice Power
Eco Blast uses compressed air to accelerate frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice) pellets at a high velocity.

Dry ice pellets are made from food grade carbon dioxide that has been specifically approved by the FDA, the EPA and the USDA. Carbon dioxide is a non-poisonous, liquefied gas, which is inexpensive and easily stored.

Advantages:

  • Non-abrasive, nonflammable & nonconductive
  • Environmentally friendly
  • Approved for use in the food industry
