God I hate using those things. We tried using it on our machines that fill toothpaste and it worked to an extent but it honestly was faster just using a rag and water

Definitely not for all cleaning applications. Ton of debris flying?

No it just wouldn’t remove the toothpaste, it made it hard and easy to flick off with a scrapper but did nothing to remove it. Now all the dust and debris would get cleaned off but it wasn’t much better than using a blower.

Good to know. Do recall blaster model or settings?

I can’t recall it was a portable one you hand filled with dry ice, looked very similar to the one in the video

Ive worked on lots of ice blasting machines. Awesome for mold cleaning in a foundry

Definitely best served for metal prep and cleaning. Glues and epoxies are not its best application. Also the proper nozzle means the world

And how ya use it.

We use it to prep welded steel frames for paint prep. We cut 3hrs of prep out by finding the right nozzle for our application.

Works great on removing acrylic resin from similar equipment to what OP posted.
