Does using pellets have an advantage over using block dry ice?
Yes! Using only 1.5 to 2.5 pounds (0.68 to 1.14 kg) of pellets per minute, Cold Jet’s single-hose pellet blasting systems can clean two to five times faster than a two-hose block dry ice shaver system. The single-hose system has superior cleaning capability and can significantly reduce production downtime and correspondingly yield thousands of dollars in production savings beyond what is attainable with a two-hose block dry ice system. Below is a comparison study of Cold Jet’s single-hose dry ice pellet based system versus a competitor’s two-hose shaved dry ice block system. The test was done on both sides of a single two-tire press. Both tests were done by the same operator.
