Co2 Blasting - Applications
Cleaning Printing Presses
The combined experiences of the staff of GreeneServices have cleaned over 1000 printing units. This includes a widespread learning curve, especially in the early years when Co2 blasting was relatively new. Through the years, GreeneServices understands the importance of a clean, properly functioning printing press. Through both informal and formal feedback systems, they have been able to identify vulnerabilities and key necessities in the Co2 blasting of printing machinery. First and foremost, just putting a Co2 blasting machine in any ones hands and let them go to town can be disastrous. Printing machinery is very complex, compared to most industrial machinery, and there are many parts that can be compromised through careless and negligent blasting. Therefore, a properly trained crew of CO2 blast cleaners will make the world of difference in the overall integrity of printing production. Because of the precision nature of printing, it is important to |
| keep certain parts and components of the machine continually free of foreign material for efficient operation. A periodic blast cleaning regime will therefore cut maintenance costs. In a recent case, a printing facility was charged with an astronomical troubleshooting bill only to find out that the cause of the 'doubling' was due to clogged gripper pads. There have also been other maintenance cases where it literally took hours to get a single form roller free of it's journal. In order to keep its press assets properly operating and of highest value, owners must establish periodic cleaning and maintenance schedules of all printing machines.
Co2 Blasting - Adhesives
Adhesives are easily removed in comparison to alternative methods as the lowered temperature serves to weaken the adhesive bond. Many companies are blast cleaning old labels off containers that are being re-used. Abrasive methods often generate heat and can therefore fail with some adhesive removal.

Tool Die's Manufacturing
Dry Ice Blast Cleaning is the best method for cleaning dies. The softness of the dry ice will maintain the critical tolerances maintain the critical tolerances of the dies better than any other cleaning method.
Food and Hospital Use
Dry Ice cleaning of the surface of products and instruments is not toxic and will stop the growth of mold, mildew and other fungi as well as stopping odors at the source by elimination of the bacterial host environment, not as a masking agent or cover-up. Dry Ice cleaning is 100% ecologically safe, USDA rated, biodegradable and harmless to humans, animals and marine life.
Co2 Blasting - Fire RemediationDry Ice cleaning is extremely effective in removing toxic residues, soot, and associated smells after a fire. We can work with insurance companies to quickly clean fire and smoke damaged locations.
