How does Ice Blast work?
Within 70 seconds from pushing the start button the ice blast machine is ready for work. Crystalline ice particles are produced continuously at a rate of 200 pounds per hour. Using a two hose system, ice particles are transported through a low pressure hose to the blasting nozzle where a second higher pressure hose delivers up to 200 psi to accelerate the ice particles towards the target surface. The solid ice particles displace surface contaminants by imparting the energy from the impact and from the lateral deformation of the ice particles. Melting after impact, the ice then flushes away the debris. This “Scrub and Flush” process is what makes ice blasting effective.
