Page 6: General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION The Evolution Line manual is for the Xcel 6 dry ice blasting machines produced by IceTech. IceTech machines and accessories have been developed to supply cleaning equipment which minimizes consequential cleaning costs and combines the best characteristics of sand blasting and steam cleaning. Dry And Thermal Cleaning Process Dry ice blasting provides a dry cleaning process (similar to sand blasting), AND a ther- mal cleaning process (familiar in steam cleaning). -
Page 7: Cleaning Effect
the nozzle of the blasting gun at very high velocity. Cleaning Effect The cleaning effect of dry ice blasting is based on three principles: Thermal Effect The dry ice pellets have a temperature of -79°C/-109°F, and impurities are therefore cooled down drastically. The impurities shrink and loosen due to different thermal expansion coefficients. -
Page 8: Precautions During Blasting
Precautions during Blasting Air, CO gas and dry ice pellets leave the gun nozzle at a very high velocity (up to 300 m/s – 984 ft/s). Therefore: • do not aim the nozzle at a person(s) or in the direction of a place(s) where other people work, •... -
Page 9: Danger Of Thrown Loose Objects
Danger of Congelation At atmospheric pressure, CO in a solid form has a temperature of -79°C/-109°F or lower and can give rise to congelation when the dry ice comes in contact with unprotected skin. Danger of Thrown Loose Objects There is a risk of dry ice pellets and small objects being deflected back during blasting. -
Page 10: Co 2 Detector
Read the safety data sheet provided by the dry ice supplier and follow the instructions given. Detector The presence of a CO detector is recommended in areas of lim- ited ventilation such as rooms, closed tanks, etc. The CO detector can be installed to interrupt the blasting process before the CO concentration exceeds a prescribed limit. -

Page 19: Starting The Dry Ice Blasting Machine
STARTING THE DRY ICE BLASTING MACHINE Setting Up 1. Make sure the machine is on a level, horizontal surface, and that the wheel brakes are applied. 2. Plug the blasting hose couplings into the socket on the front of the machine and the blasting gun, respectively. -
Page 20: Starting
4. Connect the main power supply. 5. Connect the compressed air supply. Starting When the machine has been set up as described above (points 1-5), the following pro- cedure shall be followed before the cleaning process has begun: 6. Check carefully to ensure that the dosing unit is dry and clean at the hopper outlet. - Page 21 7. Open the external compressed air supply (slowly). 8. Fasten the earth connection wire in the butterfly nut on the back of the machine in order to prevent static electricity. Connect the terminal to some place already adequately earthed. 9. Check to make sure that the machine is in the normal operating position (the emergency stop button is pulled out).
- Page 22 11. Lift the lock pin on the gun and activate the trigger on the blasting gun for a few seconds to allow air to flow through the system. This checks for moisture in the airstream and proper operation of the dosing disc, vibrator and regulator.
- Page 23 13. Adjust the dry ice consumption (kg/hr / lbs/min) and the blasting pressure (bar/psi) – the value is shown on the pressure gauge. 14. Start dry ice blasting.

Page 24: Shutting Down The Dry Ice Blasting Machine
SHUTTING DOWN THE DRY ICE BLASTING MACHINE When the cleaning task has been completed, the following procedure must be carried out before the machine is dismantled or stored: • Empty the hopper. • Activate the trigger on the blasting gun for a few seconds in order to empty the system of possible dry ice residue. -
Page 25: Precautions - Blasting Hose
PRECAUTIONS – BLASTING HOSE Connection and Disconnection Never disconnect the blasting hose from the machine or blasting gun when the main power supply and/or compressed air supply are connected. Otherwise, activation of the trigger on the blasting gun will result in a discharge of blasting air through an open outlet instead of through the blasting gun nozzle. -
Page 26: Blasting Hose Repair
Blasting Hose Repair Blasting hoses must only be repaired either by an IceTech technician or by the owner’s qualified personnel having been trained by IceTech in the repair and maintenance of IceTech dry ice blasting machines and accessories. Beyond the necessary knowledge, the person concerned must have appropriate tools and equipment, as well as the auxiliary materials required, at his disposal. -
Page 27: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE Daily before Starting the Machine 1. Pay special attention to places on the blasting hose where kinks may have occurred during operation. 2. If any kind of damage to the blasting hose or the machine itself is noted, such dam- age must be repaired either by an IceTech technician or by the owner’s qualified per- sonnel who has been trained by IceTech in the repair and maintenance of IceTech dry ice blasting machines and accessories. -

NOZZLE SELECTION AND AIR CONSUMPTION Nozzle Diameter and Blast Pattern The nozzle selection should be based on finding the best combination of air consumption, dry ice consumption and cleaning efficiency. The selection of the nozzle spread angle should depend on how strong or weak a cleaning effect is desired for a given dry ice consumption. - Page 30 necessary to do some test blasts and observe the results until the optimum combination of nozzle size and blasting pressure for a certain application is found.
