Dry ice cleaning is similar to sand blasting, plastic bead blasting or soda blasting where a medium is accelerated in a pressurized air stream to impact a surface to be cleaned or prepared. However, instead of using hard abrasive media to grind on a surface (and damage it), dry ice cleaning uses soft dry ice accelerated at supersonic speeds to impact the surface and lift the undesirable item off the underlying substrate. DRY ICE CLEANING: • is a non-abrasive, nonflammable and non-conductive cleaning method • is environmentally-responsible and contains no secondary contaminants such as solvents or grit media • is clean and approved for use in the food industry • allows most items to be cleaned in place without time-consuming disassembly • can be used without damaging active electrical or mechanical parts or creating fire hazards • can be used to remove production residues, release agents, contaminants, paints, oils and biofilms • can be as gentle as dusting smoke damage from books or as aggressive as removing weld slag from tooling • can be used for many general cleaning applications Cold Jet dry ice cleaning uses compressed air to accelerate frozen carbon dioxide (CO ) “dry ice” 2 pellets to a high velocity. Dry ice pellets can be made on-site or supplied. Pellets are made from food grade carbon dioxide that has been specifically approved by the FDA, the EPA and the USDA. Carbon dioxide is a non-poisonous, liquefied gas, which is both inexpensive and easily stored at work sites. O M .A 8 0 F P .2 0 1 5 0 7 0 1 Aero 80FP SAFETY GUIDELINES 1 0 7 0 5 1 0 2 P. F 0 8 A M. O 1 SAFETY GUIDELINES The Aero 80FP is safe and easy to operate; however, certain precautions must be followed during its use. To understand all the necessary precautions, you must read the entire Aero 80FP manual before operating the unit. The Aero 80FP should only be operated by authorized and trained personnel.

This will cause damage that will void the warranty. • Never use the blasting unit or hoses for anything other than the intended use. • Never operate in a confined space without an approved ventilation system. • Never operate the unit with guards removed. • Never mask the machine’s ventilation holes. • Never operate a damaged blasting unit. O M .A • Never exceed recommended hose or blasting unit pressure levels. 80 F P • Do not kink the blast hose before, during or after operation. .2 0 1 5 • Never disconnect the air supply hose without first shutting off the source air and removing the line 07 0 pressure. 1 • Only Cold Jet trained service technicians are certified to work on electrical components. 2 SAFETY GUIDELINES • Do not operate equipment with electrical parts exposed, jumpered or rendered inoperable. • Only use dry ice pellets as the cleaning media. • Always engage applicator safety switch before laying it down or passing it to someone. • Always turn the main power off and remove the applicator control cable before removing the blast hose. • Always ensure that hoses are securely attached. • Keep hoses and power cord out of forklift traffic areas. • Check hoses and cables for nicks and gouge. ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE • Static discharge may ignite flammables. • Electrostatic discharge can be hazardous to the operator and the equipment. • The static charge of CO varies with the amount of dry ice and humidity present. 2 Ground the Material Being Cleaned Always ground the material being cleaned to assure safe operation while blasting. 1. Know your environment. • Electrostatic buildup changes as humidity levels change and will vary by location. Electrostatic discharge is higher at low humidity levels and occurs most often during winter. 2. Attach static bond cable. • To minimize electrostatic buildup between the part being cleaned and the applicator, attach the static bond cable between the target surface and the blast hose connection or to an electrically conductive supporting structure. Use a conductivity tester for confirmation. 1 0 7 3. Plug into a grounded power outlet. 0 5 1 20 • This step is critical for electrostatic dissipation. If the ground is not connected, a charge may build up FP. on the unit or the applicator. 0 8 A M. O 3 SAFETY GUIDELINES CO SAFETY 2 • The Aero 80FP uses solid state carbon dioxide (CO ). CO is nontoxic, noncorrosive and non-conductive. 2 2 It is approved by the FDA and USDA. • Solid CO is extremely cold (-109 °F/-78 °C). Always protect skin from direct contact with CO pellets. 2 2 Direct contact with skin or eyes quickly causes tissue damage. • Vapor CO can displace the oxygen from any breathing environment rapidly. 2 • Only operate the 80FP with a proper ventilation system that maintains the concentration levels of the governing codes of your local/national body. • Always review and observe all safety guidelines when using materials that displace oxygen. • All operators and supervisors should familiarize themselves with the literature on the physiological characteristics of CO before using the 80FP. The information can be obtained from the governing 2 codes of your local/national body. • Always use a CO monitoring device when using the 80FP in a confined space. 2 O M .A 8 0 F P .2 0 1 5 0 7 0 1 4 Aero 80FP COMPONENT GUIDE 1 0 7 0 5 1 0 2 P.
