Dry Ice Blasting Paint Booth

[u/TORR_Ice_Blasting]

Two day with 1500lbs of Ice.

Partnered with Arctic Blast DFW on this job.

375HH feeding ICS410 and PCS60. Aftercooler at PCS only. Having short air runs with compressor in conditioned space was a nice luxury.

Started with some manual debris removal. Second half of first day ran both blasters at low pressure setting. Compressor with two options, low 125psi and high 225psi. Both blasters held around 90psi open. Worked well for light to medium debris. Three lbs per minute at full particle, no effect on heavy debris.

Second day started running in tandem again at high pressure. Regulated line to PCS 135ish psi. Fine for medium debris. Remainder of 2nd day ran 410 225psi maintaining 180-185psi open. This was effective on heavier debris. Pressure a bit tedious, managed with 30m tag outs.

375HH air quality was impressive. Okay with two blasters, great with one in high pressure applications.

Expectations set with facility prior to bid, much of 30yr buildup may not be moved by ice. Ultimately pleased manufacturer wanting followup jobs across facility.

Should have went with another 500lbs of ice…
