Smart dry ice blaster With a total weight of about 60 pounds, ICEsonic's newest dry ice blaster is a compact cleaner with enough power to handle small jobs, such as cleaning screws. It combines a high-pressure air stream from a compressor with dry ice to remove debris from solid surfaces, such as metal or rubber. The technique is useful in cleaning items such as molds, mixing equipment and metal sleeves.
