  • Page 6: General Information

    GENERAL INFORMATION The Evolution Line manual is for the Elite 20 and the Xtreme 40 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.

  • Page 7: Cleaning Effect

    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/-110°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 Congelation

    DANGER OF CONGELATION At atmospheric pressure, CO in a solid form has a temperature of -79°C/-110°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 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 limited 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 16: Starting The Dry Ice Machine

    STARTING THE DRY ICE MACHINE SETTING UP Make sure the machine is on a level, horizontal surface, and that the wheel brakes are applied. Plug the blasting hose couplings into the socket on the front of the machine and the blasting gun, respectively. Check to make sure the hose couplings are correctly connected.

  • Page 17: Starting

    Connect the compressed air supply. STARTING When the machine has been set up as described above (points 1-5), the following procedure shall be followed before the cleaning process has begun: Check carefully to ensure that the dosing unit is dry and clean at the hopper outlet.
  • Page 18 Check to make sure that the machine is in the normal operating position (the emergency stop button is pulled out). 10. Turn the machine ON (press the ON/OFF button). Lift the lock pin and activate the trigger on the blasting gun for a few seconds to allow air to flow through the system.
  • Page 19 13. Adjust the dry ice consumption (kg/h / lb/min.) and the blasting pressure (bar/psi) – the value is shown on the pressure gauge. Start dry ice blasting. NB Please note: Before activating the blasting gun switch, the operator must be in a safe and stable working position.

  • Page 20: 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 21: 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 22: 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 23: Maintenance

    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 personnel who has been trained by IceTech in the repair and maintenance of IceTech dry ice blasting machines and accessories.

  • Page 24: Repair And Warranty

    In order to comply with the terms of the warranty, and for safety reasons, repairs other than those stated above require relevant tools and equipment and therefore must always be made either by an IceTech technician or by the owner’s qualified personnel who have been trained by IceTech in the repair and maintenance of IceTech dry ice blasting machines and accessories.

  • Page 25: Nozzle Selection And Air Consumption

    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.
