Anyone here involved in this ?

or know anything about it and its market, and capabilities, through a friend i have an opportunity to get involved promoting it for a firm that are supposedly leading its use in the UK but i have yet to speak to them as my friend is busy pulling strings at the minute but just thought id do my own research to see if its as big as ive been told it is potentially??

I have done this on fire jobs very successfully, I cleaned a warehouse full of electric motors, pumps and the like.  The oily black soot  cleaned up well , and everything was like new.

BUT ,,,, The clue is in the name of the process  ,,,,BLASTING!    This is a noisy process, we had a large compressor which was bad enough with the noise of the engine, but the noise of the air and dry ice media coming out of the nozzle , you needed ear defenders to be withing 20 metres of the process.

Also  the dry ice  was delivered in a box on a pallet , it was only usable for up to about 30 hours so work had to be planned well and we had to hope deliveries were reliable to keep the process going.
With dry ice  , compressor hire, dry ice gun, extra ppe , forklifts , barriers and time involved , it cost us over £150 an hour to run the job , but like I said , it is effective and you  can get through a lot of cleaning in a day.

Search previous posts but they use it for removing flashing from tooling in the injection molding game. I have a soda blaster which is a similar process but the media is delivered in bags and can be stored in a dry place. I bought it with the intention of removing antifoul from boats during the off season except they wait until May and want it done there and then - just as the drives and patios kick off. I advertised in PBO and they still ring up now and the ad run for 3 months - four years ago
