25- How Much Maintenance is Necessary?

IceTech dry ice blasting machines are engineered from high-quality components that require a minimum of
maintenance. The machines were designed to enable service and maintenance work to be performed by end-users
without the need for specialists. All service and maintenance routines are illustrated in video clips
on a CD-ROM that accompanies the machine. The estimated maintenance requirement for IceBlast machines
under normal industrial conditions is 1 hour per 100 hours' operation.

27- How do One-hose and Two-hose Systems Differ?

In a one-hose system, dry ice is mixed with compressed air in the machine itself. This allows the dry ice pellets
to attain a higher velocity (kinetic energy) and thus provides greater cleaning effectiveness. In a two-hose system,
dry ice pellets are sucked into the blasting gun through a venturi system. As the pellets are first mixed with
compressed-air in the blasting gun, their velocity is lower than in a one-hose system, and their cleaning effectiveness
is thus lower.

28- How Should Dry Ice be Stored?

Dry ice pellets are supplied in insulated containers that typically hold 880 lbs. These containers can be
moved to various application sites on fork-lift trucks or pallet lifters. Dry ice pellets can be kept in
these containers for about 4–8 days depending on ambient temperature and container quality. Due to sublimation,
a loss of about 4% of container content should be expected every 24 hours.
