Cold Jet redesigns entry-level dry ice blaster

Sept. 5, 2024
The Ice Rocket PLT hs a revamped hopper vibrator and is easier to move around the shop floor.

Ice Rocket PLT Cold Jet’s professional-grade, entry-level dry ice blaster has the smallest footprint of the company’s entire lineup, but still delivers enough power to clean stubborn contaminants. The 3mm pellet-based system make it a popular choice for tasks such as cleaning screws and more aggressive tooling cleaning. A fragmenting nozzle, included in the standard package, allows operators to control the size of the particle being blasted. 

What’s new? A new design that includes front casters for easier navigation through tight shop-floor areas, and a revamped hopper vibrator that improves the reliability of dry ice pellet flow and reduces operating noise. The updated Ice Rocket PLT made its first public appearance at NPE2024.  

Benefits Affordability. Compared with other dry ice blasters, the Ice Rocket PLT offers a lower-priced 3mm pellet solution. It also can be used for a wide variety of tasks, with a Performance Kit that includes a 1-inch blast hose and multifunctional applicator to unleash the full power of the 3mm pellets, and a Precision Kit that works with 0.5-inch or 0.75-inch blast hoses and a compact, tight-access multifunctional applicator.
