Dry ice blasting equipment for Public Transportation

Reduce service disruptions and extend asset life

For public transportation systems, clean equipment is crucial for reliable and high performing operations.

Dry ice blasting provides a non-conductive, environmentally sustainable cleaning process that is residue free and does not create secondary waste.

With unparalleled versatility, it is both delicate enough to clean sensitive electrical equipment without damage and aggressive enough to remove thick grease and burnt carbon from hard metal surfaces.

Asset Maintenance

Reduce cleaning time by eliminating water and secondary waste

Benefits

Dry ice blasting cleans equipment more quickly by replacing time consuming, manual cleaning methods with chemicals and water, which must be collected and disposed of.

Reduce risk of unplanned service stoppages and costly repairs
Minimize service disruptions
Reduce cleaning time and resulting downtime
Eliminate manual cleaning with harmful chemical solvents
No secondary waste
Reduce water and sanitation costs
Clean hot and online
Eliminate re-lubrication
Non-abrasive Will not damage equipment
Environmentally sustainable

Specific use cases:

Traction motors
Brake controllers
Cam controller boxes
Switch gears
Interior refurbishing
3rd rail insulators
Generators
Diesel and electric motors
Rails – Low voltage side
Degreasing
+More

Benefits of Dry Ice Blasting

Maintain a high performing public transportation system

Dry ice blasting allows public transportation operators to clean operating equipment more effectively, which reduces the risk of system failure and minimizes service disruptions.

Reduce service disruptions and downtime
Extend traction motor and cam controller life
Non-abrasive No damage to delicate equipment
No secondary waste stream
Environmentally sustainable
Reduce failures of controllers and actuators
Non-corrosive
Non-conductive

Dry ice blasting is good because it can be used around electricity, there’s no waste and it’s green. Municipalities are into green or environmentally friendly approaches; that’s another advantage. Dry ice blasting is a good match to reach every part of the length of the track. Because no water is involved, it can be used around electrical connections.
