Product description
The Pelletizer PE45 can produce up to 45 kilograms of dry ice C02 pellets per hour. It measures 680m (length) x 600mm (width) x 1100mm (height). The PE45 consists of the following: pellitizer, 1 x 5m of 16 mm hose for liquid CO2 supply with 3/8” connectors at both ends, filter for liquid C02, noise damper for gas outlet and an adaptor for C02 hose/C02 vessel (optional). The Pellitizer changes liquid carbon dioxide into a gas without going through a liquid phase. Pellets can be made in a variety of sizes. 3 mm pellets are used for blast cleaning and are standard for the PE45. Larger pellets are used for cooling. The Recovery Unit RE45 recovers up to 90% excess gas (CO2) from the PE45. It compresses the C02 gas and chills it back to a liquid state. The RE45 consists of the following items: Recovery unit (appears to consist of a compressor and a condenser), one set of hoses for connection between the RE45 and PE45 and control cable. It measures 1040mm (length) x 670mm (width) x 1410mm (height). The Dry Ice Blaster Triblast-2 is used for cleaning purposes. It measures 700mm (length) x 530mm (width) x 990mm (height). The T-2 consists of the following items: dry ice blaster unit, 7 meter silicone hose with built-in earthing cable, gun+1 round nozzle 80/11 mm, control cable connecting gun to Blaster (running inside the hose cover). As the T-2 blasts solid dry ice pellets at the object being cleaned, it causes a micro-explosion. The solid expands in volume 800 times, which is the prime means of causing contaminates to be removed from the substrate. The blast media disappears as gas without any awkward liquid or solid residue.
