Dry ice cleaning is widely used in industrial manufacturing. Laser cleaning is a new type of industrial cleaning method. Laser cleaning machines have been introduced a lot before. Today, Leapion Laser introduces the difference between laser cleaning and dry ice cleaning.
advantage:
1. The cleaning process does not use chemical agents. Dry ice cleaning uses dry ice as the medium. During the cleaning process, it will become gas and volatilize in the air. Carbon dioxide is a component of the air, so it will not affect the environment.
2. Compared with cleaning agents, the cleaning effect of dry ice cold spray is more thorough and cleaner. And will not cause damage to the material.
3. In the process of dry ice cleaning, there is no need to shut down the equipment or disassemble and assemble the equipment, and it can be cleaned online, which can reduce the downtime compared with chemical cleaning agents.
4. The operation is easy to use and the process is simple, which can realize automatic operation and reduce labor costs.
shortcoming:
1. Dry ice cold spraying is a treatment process that uses relative temperature difference to peel off dirty materials. When the surface temperature of the equipment is low, its cleaning effect will be relatively reduced.
2. The operating environment of dry ice cleaning is strictly required, and necessary safety protection devices need to be worn for the dangers caused by dry ice blasting cleaning.
In addition, dry ice cleaning has a suffocation hazard when used in a relatively closed environment. Generally, workers involved in blast cleaning must wear CO2 detectors and decide whether light or even heavy respirators are required according to the amount of dust or CO2 concentration generated.
3. The cleaning cost is high. Dry ice cleaning machines usually need to be equipped with a dry ice storage tank, dry ice maker, air compressor and air storage tank.
Additionally, dry ice blasting consumables are expensive.
As an emerging industrial cleaning method, laser cleaning is better than dry ice cleaning in dry ice cleaning, and it makes up for the shortcomings of dry ice cleaning and has a wider range of applications.
1. Laser cleaning does not need to use any chemicals and cleaning solutions;
2. Laser cleaning has no photochemical reaction, no noise and no environmental pollution;
3. Laser cleaning does not produce mechanical stress, and has zero loss to precision instruments;
4. Laser cleaning will not damage the health of operators, and it is easy to realize automatic control and remote remote cleaning.
5. Laser cleaning can be selectively cleaned. For different dirt on different substrate surfaces, the dirt can be selectively cleaned by setting laser parameters (such as spot size, single pulse energy, pulse width, repetition frequency, etc.). , without damaging the substrate.
6. The cleaning system of the laser cleaning machine can be used stably for a long time. The laser cleaning technology has no consumables, maintenance-free, and low operating costs.
However, the initial investment cost of the laser cleaning machine is high.
