Foundry & Forging Overview

How does it clean?Dry ice cleaning uses solid CO2, a non-abrasive media that won’t damage surfaces or equipment. The super cooled dry ice pellets or particles are accelerated at supersonic speeds and sublimate on impact, resulting in the surface being cleaned, lifting dirt and contaminants off the underlying substrate.

How it works...Instead of abrasive media to grind surfaces (and damage them), Cold Jet uses dry ice (Solid CO2) accelerated at supersonic speeds that sublimate upon impact and lift contaminants from substrates.

What is Dry Ice Cleaning?Environmentally responsible cleaning and surface preparation.

Cold Jet nozzles feature MERN Technology used by NASA

While pellets are most suitable when removing heavy, thick contaminants, shaved ice is ideal for cleaning delicate substrates, intricate geometries or tiny openings.

The versatile i3 Series features our patented dry ice block shaving and feeder technology, providing a powerfully gentle and precise clean.

The revolutionary Aero Series features our SureFlow System, ensuring a reliable flow of dry ice pellets for a superior and efficient clean.

Dry ice cleaning is effective and safe• Dry ice is an approved medium

by the EPA, FDA and USDA as an acceptable material in cleaning methods.

• For food processors, dry ice

cleaning has been documentedby the Food Standards Agencyto effectively decontaminatesurfaces of Salmonella, E. coliand Listeria.

• Dry ice cleaning does not release harmful gases into the atmosphere.

• Dry ice cleaning does not generate secondary waste.

• Dry ice cleaning is safe and non-toxic (once pellets impact the surface, they dissipate).

• Dry ice cleaning reduces or eliminates employee exposure to (and corporate liability from) the use of dangerous chemical cleaning agents.

Other cleaning methods can be toxic• When using solid grit media or

water for cleaning hazardousmaterials, the cleaning mediaalso becomes hazardous,requiring special handling,disposal and regulatoryreporting. Dry ice creates noneof these waste stream additions.

• Sand, soda or water blasting can create downstream contamination that affects surrounding installations.

• Soda blasting can kill surrounding vegetation.

• Chemical and solvent cleaning methods are toxic, which creates toxic waste and requires disposal.

• Workers are exposed to potentially harmful substances through the use of chemicals and solvents.

Dry Ice: The Green CleanA safe alternative for you and the environment

Dry ice does not produce CO2 or add CO2 to the atmosphere and therefore does not contribute to the greenhouse effect.

Environmentally ResponsibleIn addition to being clean andsafe, it is also important toremember that dry ice is obtainedas a byproduct of other industrialprocesses - i.e. it is made fromreclaimed CO2. It does not produce CO2 or add CO2 to the atmosphere and therefore does not contribute to the greenhouse effect. Dry ice cleaning is truly and completely environmentally responsible.

“Using dry ice cleaning reduces harmful air emissions and generally creates no addition to the volume of the cleaning process waste stream…in-process machinery can be cleaned on-line, resulting in decreased labor costs and less down-time.”

EPA technical fact sheet for TCA hazards and alternatives. EPA 905-F-00-026

“ We’ve been able to cut back on our use of chemical solvents. We use about 25% of what we used to, which makes us a much more environmentally responsible company.”

Matt Schrift, EngineerRobotworx

“It’s better for the people and for the environment. This technology has shaved time and allowed us to reduce our use of chemicals.”

Cold Jet’s patented, shaved dry ice MicroParticle technology provides the deepest clean for many applications. By shaving dry ice media into the finest MicroParticles, more particles enter the air stream and strike the surface per second than traditional methods, quickly eroding the contaminant away and providing the fastest clean. The sugar-sized, shaved MicroParticles will enter the hardest-to-reach places and are small and delicate enough to pass through sensitive materials (like vents) for a deep clean without worry of damaging the surface.

Managing consumables is important when incorporating dry ice cleaning and shaved MicroParticles will save you time and money. Due to the particle size, less compressed air is needed to propel the shaved MicroParticles to peak velocities, resulting in a much quieter clean. In addition, the improved particle coverage and particle strikes per square inch when shaving reduces the amount of dry ice required for cleaning.

Industry Overview: Foundry and ForgingReduced cleaning time = less downtime

A Faster, MoreProductive Clean.A major issue for the foundry and

forging industries is the downtime caused when cleaning permanent aluminum molds, core box vents, semi-solid castings and die casting machines. Typical manual cleaning methods require cooldown, disassembly, unproductive hours of messy hand cleaning or bead blast cleaning and then reassembly. In addition, most traditional cleaning methods are not fully effective and often result in damage to the part or

equipment.

Dry ice cleaning offers significant improvement in cleaning times (up to 60%) as well as reduction of damage to equipment and resulting scrap product. As dry ice blast cleaning allows a non-conductive, in-place method to clean parts, even touch-up cleanings are safe and easy.

• Permanent Aluminum Molds• Refractory Coatings• Core Boxes and Vents• Die Cast Tooling• Shell Core Molds• Semi-solid Castings / Forging• Remove Resins & Release Agents• General Equipment & Facility• Conveyors• General part cleaning

• Reduce production downtime

• Eliminate disassembly of molds

• Clean better, hot and in-place

• Eliminate waste disposal cost

Case Study: Progress Casting GroupFoundry cleans core boxes and molds with Cold Jet dry ice MicroParticles faster & quieter

The SituationThe Progress Casting Groupin Plymouth, Minnesota / USA,was founded out of ContinentalCastings in 1962 and the ProgressFoundries in 1982. The foundryspecializes in precision diecasting and sand castings forthe automotive, aerospace anddefense industries.

The refractory coating (releasingagent), the resin spray buildup,sand casting components andcore residues on the core boxesand low-pressure casting moldsare currently being removedby sand blasting and manualbrushes. Both cleaning processesare slow and ineffective - causingdamage to machines and putting workers’ safety at risk. Sandblasting destroys the urethaneon the molds and both methodsroutinely destroy the vents on thecore boxes.

The ChallengeThe Progress Casting Group was looking for a cleaning method that removes the refractory coatings and other residual material without

damaging mold vents. In addition,uneven refactory coating shouldbe avoided as this can affectthe quality of the final productand the speed of production.Release agents and residualmaterials should also be removedfrom the surface as “smooth as afeather” without rounding thecorners, an important prerequisite for product quality. The area around the tool should be clean and safe for the employees. The tools need to be cleaned as after every use to minimize the downtime and the molds should still be hot to reapply the refractory coating.

The problem with steel shot,glass bead and sandblasting is the possibility of mold vent damage and urethane damage on molds. Rounding of mold edges leads to flash on the parts, shortens the mold life, creates secondary wasteand potential eye injuries fromatmospheric contaminants.

Manual cleaning with chemicalsand brushes is extremely laborintensive and potentially harmful to the workers, causing long downtime and inefficient and ineffective clean in some places.

The ResultThe Progress Casting Group tested a Cold JetMicroParticle dry ice cleaningsystem and used it to the clean their most delicate screen vents at full blast. Even at maximum blast aggression, there was no damage to the parts and the molds looked brand new.

“The system was shown to the president of the company and after the test, he turned around and said: Buy it immediately! Within two days, the Cold Jet dry ice blasting system was in our company and at work,“ said Daryl Hesch, Tooling Supervisor at Progress Casting.

Today, it takes one worker 10minutes to clean a mold while itremains hot and online, whereasit took two to three workers, 3-4 hrs to clean one or two molds previously. The tooling supervisor estimates that they are saving $400 - $500 per mold with a Cold Jet dry ice blasting system.

“We estimated that it would payfor itself in six months, but it took only a month. This machine is incredible,” said Hesch. “Every foundry needs to own a Cold Jet dry ice MicroParticle cleaning system.”

The Cold Jet SolutionCold Jet is the only supplier that offers the patented shaved dry ice technology for dry ice MicroParticles on the market.Many small dry ice MicroParticlesclean the surface faster,smoother and much quieter thanconventional 3 mm pellets.

The dry ice blast cleaningprocess is similar in concept tosand or soda blasting, where therespective media is acceleratedthrough a pressurized airstream.The main difference is that, ratherthan sand or soda, Cold Jet’ssystem use recycled CO2 in theform of dry ice MicroParticlesto clean surfaces. The CO2

MicroParticles are acceleratedat supersonic speeds througha specialized hose and nozzle.Once the MicroParticles hit themold surface, the combinationof kinetic energy and thermalgradient effects of the dry iceblast breaks the bond betweenthe surface and the residue. Uponimpact with the tool surface, theCO2 sublimates, returning to itsnatural gas form, leaving no secondary waste to clean up.

Case Study: KS Aluminium-Technologie GmbH Installation of a Cold Jet P325 Pelletizer for onsite dry ice production in the foundry industry

The SituationKSPG AG is the parent company of Rheinmetall’s Automotive sector. As a global first-tier supplier to the automotive industry, KSPG commands foremost positions in the product and component segments air supply, emission control and pumps as well as in the development, manufacturing and aftermarket supply of pistons, engine blocks, and plain bearings. The products are developed in cooperation with leading automotive manufacturers.

According to its strategic focus, the company is divided into divisions: Hardparts (including KS Aluminium-Technologie GmbH), Mechatronics and Motor Service.

BENEFITSProduction efficiency

The engineering and casting of innovative aluminum cylinder crankcases has evolved into a widely demanded core capability of KS Aluminium-Technologie GmbH in its role as direct development partner in the auto industry.

Nowadays, the company is among the leading producers of such cylinder blocks and a market leader in the premium segment for these products. From its plant in Neckarsulm, KS Aluminium-Technologie supplies many leading German and international carmakers with aluminum engine blocks for use in gasoline and diesel engines. Among the series-production casting techniques employed are low-pressure permanent mold casting, pressure die-casting, and squeeze casting.

the workfloor and gladly takes control over the pelletizer.They started another production area in 1995 for dry ice cleaning because it is a gentle cleaning method. Sand-blasting was too abrasive and difficult to handle. Due to the cleaning application, it was clear for KS that they also want to produce dry ice themselves, as it was difficult to purchase dry ice at the time and they wanted to have fresh dry ice on hand to make cleaning more effective.

The ProblemIn the beginning , KS used a pelletizer from a Cold Jet competitor that was an outdated technology and the cost of CO2 consumption was too high. An additional problem was the cost of repair as the pelletizer was very susceptible to interference.

The machine could no longer be operated reliably and KS often had to order dry ice from outside the company.

and is still very compact. Less scrap ice, a longer shelf life and a higher density means higher cost savings for KS.”

The ResultThe entire project was implemented within 3 months. The most important factor in the purchase decision was the efficiency of the P325.

KS had complete confidence in Cold Jet and their service. Another important point was the ease of use.

“We work in different shifts,” said Fiedler. “That means that the pelletizer will be operated by several employees. The old pelletizer was not user-friendly and an error by the operator or possible damage was inevitable. We no longer have this problem with the new pelletizer. This is a very important point in practice.”

KS expects the new pelletizer to reduce maintenance time, increase product lifetime and to improve both product and ice quality. They also hope to reduce ice consumption during cleaning by using high-quality

The Cold Jet SolutionAs KS always wants to be on the cutting edge of technology, they decided to buy a new Cold Jet pelletizer.

“If there is a weak link in the production process, the whole production suffers,” said Werner Fiedler.

The company already had experience with Cold Jet through the dry ice cleaning equipment and they know Cold Jet as a competent company that offers excellent service and support. The service team is regularly on site and kept them always well informed about the latest developments. Therefore, it was obvious to contact Cold Jet about the purchase of a new pelletizer.

“After a very convincing onsite presentation from the European General Manager to our production department, we decided to go for the Cold Jet P325 with a production capacity of 136 kg / hour,” said Fiedler. “The pelletizer is the only one on the market that can produce high-density premium dry ice
