Hi everyone. I am an engineering student. I read something called dry ice blasting while browsing net. Well I dont know why, but I am curious to know about it. I know about traditional labor intensive methods like scrapers, wire brushes, sand blasting and pressure washing. I know dry ice is basically solid form of CO2, but I have no clue about this dry ice blasting. <o></o> Can somebody throw some light on this or at least suggest some site where I can find some info on this.<o></o> <o></o> John<o></o>
Hey John. Must say buddy, you are quite a curious fellow. You are right dry ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide (Co2). And you must be aware that it is as hard as a plaster and under atmospheric pressure it sublimes at a temperature of -78oC. Dry ice blasting is a process of cleaning equipments. It is very much in demand nowadays, as it is very environment friendly, safe and cost effective. You would be surprised to know the number of industries it caters to; automotive, power plants, packaging, food and beverage, plastics, aerospace etc. As this cleaning technology doesnt use any chemical solvents lubricants and water; its considered ideal for electrical equipments and food and beverage industry. Dry ice blasting is superior to sand blasting, pressure washing etc. It has lots of benefits. Its not possible to list them out here. Why dont you check out www.react365.com, provides dry ice blasting services and other environmental and industrial services and you will get some information on their site. mattew
Gotta wonder if your industrial cleaning can remove the fishy smell from the question and answer posted above. I bet the IP addresses are the same for both...
Not at all. Here's where he screwed up... Both joined Nov. '07 First post from both No intro Opposite sides of the country to throw people off Question and answer 9 minutes apart Little info given in profile of person asking Full profile with links in profile of person answering Both names followed by numbers I might have been born at night, but it wasn't last night...
I thought spam was... Some Parts Are Meat I didn't know it include fish.. we should send him a PM with scientific detail and description of spamming with links to pop up websites... Jason
Not only that . . . he picks names like "John" and "Mathew" . . . except he can't frigging spell Mathew . . . "Mattew" duhhhhh Nice try loser . . .
Hey, at least you got it right. Everyone I know keeps trying to shove an extra 'T' in there. MMM....Sushi grade Spam. We don't get that much down here. Anybody wonder what this process does to the grain structure of the metal? I could see this making sheet metal kind of brittle. Kind of funny that he's an Engineering student and he doesn't know how to do an internet search. "Curious Young fellow" my arse.
Curious minds want to know huh ? I.P. addresses are not the same. But - that's not to say they don't know each other. You never know - but I can tell you the I.P. addresses are not the same. Cob Classifieds Moderator

Wow, you guys sure gave John and Mattew an ICE COLD reception I mean really, they seem like COOL guys Sorry, I have a DRY sense of humor ZING!
Well if your not too busy today, tomorrow, next week we all could call, fax, e-mail etc to find out more information on the wonderful processes they have. They have lots of contact information on the website.
The company I work for has some of these machines and they use them in ares where you cant have abrasives that could cause a spark. They say it works good.
