Applications

Sublima Ultra is perfect for industrial cleaning, surface preparation, and material treatment using dry ice blasting, offering high-quality and reliable results in every situation.

Dry ice allows for residue-free cleaning, without water and chemicals: the application is environmentally friendly, bactericidal and significantly faster than conventional cleaning methods.

Dry ice cleaning is already used successfully in numerous industrial applications. Cleaning is much faster and easier than conventional methods and works without abrasives, without water and without chemicals.

However, the cryogenic cleaning machines available so far are generally very heavy, very noisy and have high purchase and operating costs that limit the use of this process.

Thanks to its compact design, easy handling and low consumption of compressed air and dry ice, Sublima Top finally makes cryogenic cleaning economically accessible, with high cleaning performance and without complications!

SUBLIMA ULTRA combines the best features of cryogenic cleaners and sets new standards in terms of flexibility, cleaning performance and efficiency.

Compact design, high flexibility and low weight of only 25 kg allow universal use for countless cleaning needs .

The system operates purely pneumatically - no electrical power connection is required

PROCESS ELEMENTS

The essential elements of the process are compressed air, generated by a common compressor, and dry ice in pellets .

PROCESS SUMMARY
Freezes > Crushes > Removes > Sanitizes

• 

  1. FREEZES

• 

  2. CRUSHES

• 

  3. REMOVES

• 

  4. SANITIZES

• 

  1. FREEZES

  Dry ice is CO2 in the solid state and has a temperature of about - 80 ° C it is absolutely harmless to the environment, non-toxic and does not release water. For cleaning, dry ice is pressed into pellets and "projected" onto the surface to be cleaned
• 

  2. CRUSHES

  Due to the low temperature and high speed of the pellets, the dirt is frozen and shatters. The surface to be cleaned is not stressed and altered because dry ice is not abrasive.
• 

  3. REMOVES

  Upon impact, the dry ice pellets increase their volume by 760 times by expanding and "sweep away" the dirt particles from the surface.
• 

  4. SANITIZES

  Cryogenic cleaning has an effective bactericidal function: dry ice pellets exert a fungistatic and bacteriostatic function on the surface, breaking down and hindering bacteriological proliferation.

EFFECTS OF THE PROCESS

Mechanical/ Thermal/ Kinetic / Fungistatic/ Sublimation

* The CO2 pellets are non-toxic, sublimate on impact (they return to their natural gaseous state in the atmosphere), and do not require disposal. The cleaning action takes place by “impact waste removal”; with the impact, the pellets penetrate the surface below the slag to be removed, shatter and create a high-speed flow of dry ice particles which, exploding at the point of impact, create a flow that lifts the contaminant from the piece removing it from the inside towards outside.

Mechanical dry ice pellets with a diameter of 1.5 - 5 mm are thrown at high speed on the surface to be cleaned.
There is no damage to the substrate, as there is no cutting or abrasion action. Since CO2 (dry ice) sublimates, the only residue is the removed debris.

Thermal the impact of the pellets on the surface causes thermal shock at -78° makes the encrustation friable and separates it from the surface to be cleaned so that it is easily removable.

Kinetic When dry ice hits the surface to be cleaned, it changes from a solid to a gaseous state: this causes an expansion of the volume of carbon dioxide by about 700 times and consequently an explosion of encrustations from the surface to be cleaned.

Fungistatic In the transition from solid to gaseous state, carbon dioxide exerts a bacteriostatic and fungistatic action, slowing down the proliferation of microbiological flora and ensuring optimal conditions also from an hygienic point of view.

Sublimation A further and important feature of dry ice is its ability to leave no residual moisture on the products it has been in contact with. In fact, by sublimating, it produces an atmosphere saturated with carbon dioxide which, being a dry gas, tends to reduce the moisture content in the environment without leaving any trace of water on the treated surfaces. For this reason cryogenic cleaning is recommended both in the food sector and in the cleaning of electrical systems.

THE ADVANTAGES of cryogenic dry ice cleaning

• Dry process
  This cleaning method is a completely dry process as dry ice is made up of CO2 and therefore evaporates upon contact with the surface. Cleaning without water and steam

• No residue
  The process leaves no residue. It is only necessary to suck up or collect the removed deposits.

• Ecological
  Dry cleaning uses no chemicals and is absolutely non-toxic. There are no costs for the disposal of detergents or solvents and the amount of debris to be purified decreases.

• Non abrasive
  Dry ice cleaning has no abrasive effects and is therefore extremely delicate towards the surface of the materials, avoiding the wear typical of sandblasting or cleaning systems with chemical agents, detergents, spatulas, and metal brushes.

• Increase in productivity
  Maintenance breaks are reduced as disassembly and reassembly are no longer required. Machines can often be cleaned while in operation, thereby increasing actual production time.

• Effective
  Thanks to the jet nozzles and the different cleaning speeds, it is possible to clean even in places that are difficult to access without leaving any residue of detergent in the chains and on the mechanical parts.

• Safe
  Cryogenic sandblasting performed with the use of individual protection means replaces traditional cleaning procedures such as sandblasting or cleaning with chlorinated or fluorinated solvents: it can therefore be said that cryogenic sandblasting introduces a significant improvement for the working conditions of the operator.

• Bactericidal action
  Bactericidal and fungistatic cleaning
