Dry ice cleaning is similar to sand blasting, plastic bead blasting or soda blasting where a medium
is accelerated in a pressurized air stream to impact a surface to be cleaned or prepared.
However, instead of using hard abrasive media to grind on a surface (and damage it), dry ice
cleaning uses soft dry ice accelerated at supersonic speeds to impact the surface and lift the
undesirable item off the underlying substrate.
DRY ICE CLEANING:
 •isanon-abrasive,nonammableandnon-conductivecleaningmethod

• can be as gentle as dusting smoke damage from books or as aggressive as removing weld
slag from tooling
• can be used for many general cleaning applications
Cold Jet dry ice cleaning uses compressed air to accelerate frozen carbon dioxide (CO2) “dry ice”
pellets to a high velocity. Dry ice pellets can be made on-site or supplied. Pellets are made from
food grade carbon dioxide that has been specically approved by the FDA, the EPA and the USDA.
Carbon dioxide is a non-poisonous, liquefied gas, which is both inexpensive and easily stored at
work sites.

GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
• Always follow the guidelines of the governing codes of your local/national body as a minimum
standard for ensuring safety.
• Always wear thermal gloves, eye and ear protection (safety glasses and ear plugs).
• Never expose bare skin to CO2ice.
• Never point the nozzle at self or anyone else and always exercise extreme caution when people are in
the blast area.
• Never use a wire tie to hold the applicator trigger in the on position. This will cause damage that will
void the warranty.
• Never use the blasting unit or hoses for anything other than the intended use.
• Never operate in a conned space without an approved ventilation system.
• Never operate the unit with guards removed.
• Never mask the machine’s ventilation holes.
• Never operate a damaged blasting unit.
• Never exceed recommended hose or blasting unit pressure levels.
• Do not kink the blast hose before, during or after operation.
• Never disconnect the air supply hose without rst shutting o the source air and removing the line
pressure.
• Only Cold Jet trained service technicians are certied to work on electrical components.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
• Do not operate equipment with electrical parts exposed, jumpered or rendered inoperable.
• Only use dry ice pellets as the cleaning media.
• Always engage applicator safety switch before laying it down or passing it to someone.
• Always turn the main power o and remove the applicator control cable before removing the blast
hose.
• Always ensure that hoses are securely attached.
• Keep hoses and power cord out of forklift trac areas.
• Check hoses and cables for nicks and gouge.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
• Static discharge may ignite ammables.
• Electrostatic discharge can be hazardous to the operator and the equipment.
• The static charge of CO2varies with the amount of dry ice and humidity present.
Ground the Material Being Cleaned
Always ground the material being cleaned to assure safe operation while blasting.
1. Know your environment.
• Electrostatic buildup changes as humidity levels change and will vary by location. Electrostatic
discharge is higher at low humidity levels and occurs most often during winter.
2. Attach static bond cable.
• To minimize electrostatic buildup between the part being cleaned and the applicator, attach the static
bond cable between the target surface and the blast hose connection or to an electrically conductive
supporting structure. Use a conductivity tester for conrmation.
3. Plug into a grounded power outlet.
• This step is critical for electrostatic dissipation. If the ground is not connected, a charge may build up
on the unit or the applicator.

PLANT AIR (CENTRAL COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM)
Manufacturing plants with central compressed air systems should have an after cooler and a 2-stage
coalescing lter assembly downstream of the receiver tank. Hot metal pipes are an indication this is
needed. To verify that the plant air system is adequate for the Aero 40FP, the air compressor needs
to produce an air volume 10% greater than the Aero 40FP maximum air volume in addition to the air
volume consumed by normal plant operation. To determine adequate air volume, watch the pressure
gauge while blasting.
• If the gauge drops slowly, the compressor is insucient.
• If the gauge drops quickly, there is a restriction or the pipe is too small.
• If the gauge stays steady, then the compressor and piping are adequate.
To maintain adequate pressure to the Aero 40FP:
• For distances less than 100 ft (30 m) between the air compressor and the Aero 40FP, Cold Jet recommends
a exible 1 in (25 mm) air hose, preferably the hose supplied with the Aero 40FP.
• For distances greater than 100 ft (30 m) between the air compressor and the Aero 40FP, Cold Jet
recommends a larger hose/pipe to maintain adequate blast pressure.
If an air drop is seldom used or is being used with the Aero 40FP for the rst time, water and
rust may have collected in the line. Before connecting to the air supply, purge the line to
prevent contamination of the Aero 40FP.
APPENDIX A:
BLAST AIR QUALITY
PORTABLE AIR
Portable air compressors are mainly used for shop tools, not dry ice blasting units; therefore, they
may not be equipped to cool or remove air moisture.
An after cooler and moisture trap/lter MUST be used. An after cooler with a 15 °F (-9 °C)
approach is required to reduce the discharge air temperature 180 °F (82 °C) to within 15 °F
(-9°C) of ambient air temperature.
If an air cooler is not used:
• Incoming air moisture will rapidly cool and freeze at the Aero 40FP feeder.
• Ice will accumulate in the feeder, distorting the air ow and seal.
• Ice will break o inside the hose and lodge in the nozzle, causing a jam.
• Ice may exit the nozzle and damage the target surface.
If blasting continuously, use an air dryer to further reduce the air moisture (dew point). Desiccant
dryers produce a dew point of -40 °F (-40 °C), resulting in a dew point low enough for continuous
blasting.
To verify the compressor is of adequate size for the Aero 40FP, the air compressor needs to produce
an air volume 10% greater than the Aero 40FP’s maximum permissible air volume. To determine
adequate air volume, watch the pressure gauge while blasting.
• If the gauge drops slowly, the compressor is insucient.
• If the gauge drops quickly, there is a restriction or the pipe is too small.
• If the gauge stays steady, then the compressor and piping are adequate.
To maintain adequate pressure, the hose size from the compressor to the Aero 40FP needs to be a
minimum 1 in (25 mm) in diameter for lengths up to 100 ft (30 m). Longer runs may require larger
hose sizes.

OM.A40FP.20150807
APPENDIX B:
RESIDUAL RISKS
When safety instructions are followed, most of the risks associated with the Aero 40FP are mitigated.
However, the operator should be aware that a few residual risks remain.
1. Carbon Dioxide
CO2is an asphyxiant gas, which displaces the oxygen in the air. When the carbon dioxide levels
are not monitored, there is a risk of exposure to high concentrations of CO2. Exposure to high
concentrations of carbon dioxide can result in shortness of breath, headaches, dizziness, increased
heart rate, impaired hearing, nausea, loss of consciousness or, in extreme cases, death. Always use a
CO2 monitoring device when using the Aero 40FP in a conned space.
Solid CO2is extremely cold (-109 °F/-78 °C). This presents a risk to the operator, as direct contact with
skin or eyes quickly causes tissue damage. Always protect skin from direct contact with CO2pellets,
nuggets or slices.
2. Noise Emissions
When the proper safety precautions are not followed, prolonged exposure to the noise emitted by
the Aero 40FP can cause damage. Long-term exposure to loud noises can result in loss of hearing or
tinnitus. Always wear ear protection.
3. Pressurized Air
Operating the Aero 40FP requires the use of pressurized air, resulting in the risk of hoses bursting or
ttings failing. Always be alert when operating the machinery. If a failure does occur, be sure to turn
o the air at the source.
Never hold the air stream directly against skin. This could result in an air embolism, which is often fatal.
4. Static Electricity
Static electricity can interfere with the proper functioning of a pacemaker.
Even when grounding or bonding procedures are followed, static electricity can present a danger to
the operator. To reduce this risk, always follow grounding or bonding instructions.
