Overview
| Automotive Industry - Dry Ice Cleaning |
The highly complex and automated systems used in the automobile industry demand a constant high level of performance. Dry Ice Blasting is considered by many in the industry to be the “best practice” cleaning method. Dry ice blasting offers the advantage of being able to clean this complex machinery in place. It quickly, safely and efficiently removes grease, oils, and dirt. It is non-toxic and non-abrasive and does not damage expensive parts. There is no secondary waste produced. Furthermore, automotive companies have cut their mold buildup cleaning costs by as much as 70%. These advantages save time and money. |

Benefits
Automotive companies have cut their mold buildup cleaning costs by as much as 70%. Snow White dry ice blasting services easily removes excess grease, sludge, sealant and weld slag during preventative maintenance.

- Weld lines can take more than two hours to clean completely by using the traditional methods of hand scraping and chemical use. With dry ice blasting, complete weld lines can be cleaned in 25 minutes.
- Slush molds require routine spot cleaning in order to remove the tiny grains and TPU burn marks that result in unusable product production. Traditional cleaning methods use aluminum oxide, causing the molds to shut down often in order to do an entire cleaning on the mold.
- E-coat, which is typically removed by hand scraping, can be difficult to remove when too thick or in hard-to-reach locations. With dry ice blasting, E-coat is easily removed from paint shop rollers, hooks, guide rails, electric motor and reduction gearboxes, perforated shielding and the concrete floor. In addition, spray booth sensors and floor gates are kept clean and clog free with regular use of the dry ice blasting system.
- Urethane foam molds have to be cleaned down to the surface in order to remove the plastic residues and release agents that can cause unsatisfactory gloss levels. The dry ice blasting system allows the molds to be cleaned with at least 70% fewer man hours and provide for a complete and thorough clean. he level of clean that dry ice blasting systems provide allows for assured part tolerance and smooth part release.
- General maintenance on items such as cooling fans, ceiling fans, walls and superstructures can be a time consuming task that takes away from worker productivity. With dry ice blasting, these tasks are performed in a matter of minutes, allowing for increased productivity.
Features

Automotive Plants
Dry ice blast cleaning is used throughout auto assembly plants to clean dirty production equipment and remove grease, dirt, and oil, prior to disassembly. Dry ice blasting does not require an expensive secondary contaminated waste disposal nor produce potentially explosive gases, so it is safe in the vicinity of electrical arcs. Unlike conventional sand blasting, dry ice blasting does not leave sand and grit behind that must be removed to prevent damage to bearings and other moving machinery.
