COLD JET
Cold Jet: Leading Dry Ice Solutions Manufacturer Electronic manufacturing facilities face stringent cleaning requirements that directly influence product performance, yield rates, and operational costs. Conventional approaches—such as manual hand cleaning and the use of harsh chemicals—frequently lead to extended downtime, potential substrate damage, and hazardous waste streams that compromise the bottom line. Dry ice blasting eliminates these challenges by providing a non-abrasive, non-conductive solution that prevents surface damage to sensitive components. | Dry ice blasting offers numerous benefits for cleaning in the Plastics industry, making it a great choice for companies looking to improve efficiency, quality, and sustainability in their manufacturing processes. When manufacturing plastic and composite parts, molds and equipment must be kept meticulously clean to ensure product quality. Dry ice blasting can effectively remove residues, mold-release agents, and contaminants from molds, extruders, and other equipment without damaging delicate surfaces. Traditional cleaning methods like sandblasting or chemical cleaning can be abrasive and may damage plastic surfaces. Dry ice blasting provides a non-abrasive alternative, making it suitable for cleaning sensitive plastic components without causing any harm. Dry ice blasting involves propelling pellets of dry ice at a high velocity to clean surfaces. It’s non-toxic since dry ice is made of solid carbon dioxide (CO2), which sublimates (turns into gas) upon contact with the surface being cleaned, leaving no residue. | Cold Jet is the global leader in innovative dry ice technologies that put recycled CO2 to work for a cleaner, healthier planet. Cold Jet manufacturers two distinct lines of equipment. Dry ice production systems for the manufacture, metering and packaging of dry ice and dry ice blasting equipment for environmental cleaning, surface preparation and parts finishing systems. Our solutions provide value to our customers by helping them improve mold cleaning, deflash/debur parts, surface preparation parts, post process 3D printed parts, and clean screws with dry ice. Dry ice is a product of a carbon capture and utilization process and users improve quality, increase productivity, extend life of molds, reduce costs & improve environmental quality.
