Liquid CO2 is stored under high pressure and directed to our pelletizer, which converts it to solid dry ice. We do this at your foundry.
Foundry Dry Ice Blasting Services
EAI Industrial Services offers turnkey foundry dry ice blasting services to ensure minimum downtime and maximum efficiency. With decades of industrial cleaning experience since 1989, we offer fast, professional and environmentally friendly solutions you can trust.
EAI’s Dry Ice Blasting Services for Foundries
EAI offers foundry dry ice blasting services to clean molds effectively and in a nonabrasive manner.
Our team uses specialized machines to convert liquid CO2 into dry ice pellets. These pellets can blast-clean your foundry floors, hydraulic presses, electrical components, die-casting machinery, mixers, core boxes, tools, slot and screen vents and other surfaces:
EAI compacts the snow to form micro pellets, then combines them with compressed air in a blasting valve. The pressurized stream pelts the intended surface at 75-1,000 feet per second to effectively clean your foundry machinery and floor.
The dry ice pellets penetrate grease, oil, metal residues and other contaminants. The blasting material lifts them off as it sublimates to a gas.
Once EAI lifts the contaminant layers, we channel them into our negative air system. This equipment purifies and releases the air, leaving your foundry clean and without secondary waste.
Importance of Foundry Industrial Cleaning
Dry ice blasting your foundry is crucial to clean your casting units, hydraulic press units, vents, conveyors and other equipment, ensuring your operations run smoothly and safely:
- Routine blasting: Your factory is less at risk of downtime with scheduled cleaning. We can perform CO2 blast cleaning quickly, meaning you can continue operations right away.
- Removing residue: Dry ice blasting safely clears casting units of carbon deposits, strips debris, grease and oil from hydraulic press units and rids heat exchangers and coils from contaminants. It significantly improves your foundry’s efficiency and removes flammable substances, making your factory safer.
Benefits of Foundry CO2 Blasting
Our CO2 blasting services have several benefits for your foundry:
Downtime in the foundry industry means reduced productivity and lost revenue in a highly competitive space. We clean your foundry quickly and efficiently with dry ice blasting, allowing for almost no downtime.
Foundry applications involve forgings, molds, castings and refractory coatings. Routine cleaning is essential when residue, grease, oil and resins land on your tools, core boxes, vents and equipment.
EAI’s innovative cleaning processes efficiently remove residues from your foundry, ensuring high production levels and optimal production quality.
Dry ice blasting uses pellets to deliver high-pressure penetration. This intense but nonabrasive cleaning method is suitable for your permanent molds, vents, conveyors, die-casting tools and the foundry facility itself.
EAI’s ice blasting is a safe and environmentally friendly cleaning method, using no water or corrosive cleaning solutions. It deep cleans carbon, dust, ink, lubricants and grease buildup without damaging machinery, electrical components, tooling or bearings.
CO2 blast cleaning won’t disrupt your productivity and doesn’t require the machinery’s disassembly, meaning you save on costs compared to other industrial cleaning methods.
Our cleaning services generate no secondary waste, requiring no additional cleanup.
EAI can make dry ice on-site, offering your foundry a superior cleaning experience with efficient technology.
Core Box Cleaning
Your foundry’s system relies on seamless operation, from the smallest vents to the largest machines. When any piece of your equipment has residue buildup, you may pay for it in downtime or damages. By maintaining a pristine core box, you can ensure more uptime on your production floor. At EAI Industrial Services, we provide core box cleaning services through dry ice blasting methods.
Because core boxes run at high temperatures and involve delicate machinery, we only clean them using automated processes and safe, nontoxic dry ice. Our team brings our own dry ice on-site, setting us apart from cleaning companies that use pre-made materials.
Dry ice blasting is a nonabrasive cleaning technique we’ve provided companies in the power industry since 1993. Where traditional cleaning methods may damage the mold or require long periods of downtime, dry ice blasting eliminates resin and sand residue throughout the core box’s injection mold without causing harm. What’s more, we can use dry ice blasting to disinfect all surfaces while the core box and injection mold run at capacity.
Create Unmatched System Results
An appropriately cleaned core box allows your team to increase overall efficiency through simplified methods. Dry ice blasting is quick, easy and noninvasive. Our cleaners are familiar with a wide range of foundry systems and core boxes across the industry. We’ll help you take your operation to the next level with simple yet effective dry ice blasting. Our approach allows foundry owners to:
Because you can keep your core box on while we clean, dry ice blasting reduces downtime and simplifies the process.
Clogged vents can create scrap material, which costs more money and time to fix. A clean core box improves your system performance for long-lasting results.
A clean system ensures better results and operational efficiency throughout your plant.
Our air recovery system absorbs all contaminants while we clean, so the process creates no secondary waste.
