Dry Ice Blasters

Does anyone own one and can recommend a unit and an air compressor to power it?

There are a handful of sub $7k units that might be worth the investment and I’m doing some prelim research thanks.

Cool Clean technologies. We use dry ice blasting to clean molds from injection presses.

My shop partner bought one, I’ll ask him. I know it takes a hell of an air compressor to run it.

I have a patent in this area. Can't help you on the devices.

I have a ColdJet Aero 75. Runs at a minimum ~200 CFM = 400 gallon compressor for non continuous use however there are smaller ones out there. Your hard lines from your compressor need to be bigger than what you have. If you don't have a ice supplier close to you look at other options such as steam. Ice has a short shelf life. Works well for cleaning most car/industrial stuff. It will damage wire insulation if you're not careful. My $0.02
