APPENDIX B:
PELLET & NUGGET SHAVING
Experience Cold Jet’s patented shaved MicroParticle technology. The i
3
MicroClean
with optional DX upgrade can now shave both pellets and nuggets. MicroParticles
allow you to clean and prepare surfaces with more precision, more delicacy, less
air and less noise than traditional dry ice pellet blasters. With DX add-on (available
as an installed or stand-alone option) operating the i
3
MicroClean with pellets or
nuggets is simple.
The information below is for the i
3
MicroClean systems that have been
modified to operate with pellet and nugget media. Using pellets and
nuggets in non-modified systems will cause significant performance
limitations.
Once the i
3
MicroClean Deluxe (DX) is installed, dry ice blocks smaller than
5x5 in (125x125 mm) will not feed effectively in the i
3
MicroClean.
To ensure consistent, maximum performance from the system, read all
information below.
