Dry ice blasting of electrical equipment

January 11th, 2008

Dry ice blasting is used in cleaning on and around electrical equipment, this technology excels because it is a dry process. There is no liquid state of the blasting media; the dry ice goes from a solid to a gaseous state upon impact, thus helping ensure no "wet" cleaning on electrical components. This benefit seems obvious.  It reduces the likelihood of a motor or other wet electrical equipment from being put back in to service before proper drying times have past, which could cause costly damage to the motor itself and even more costly downtime.  Dry ice blasting also easily cleans motor windings and other sensitive electrical equipment without damage.
