AI30 Plus Dual-Hose Dry Ice Blasting Machine for Industrial Cleaning

A: The AI30 Plus uses the same core AI30 machine but includes two blast hoses: the standard 13 ft (4 m) hose and an additional 26 ft (8 m) extended blast hose.

• The standard 13 ft hose is lightweight and suitable for close-range work, such as car detailing on a lift or bench-top parts cleaning.
• The extended 26 ft hose allows you to keep the machine in a fixed position while moving more freely around large vehicles, production equipment, elevated areas, or wider work zones.

A: The 26 ft extended hose creates additional pressure loss, so more airflow reserve is recommended compared with the standard 13 ft hose.

• Indoor / Fixed Setup: 90+ CFM minimum, with additional airflow reserve preferred.
• Outdoor / Mobile Setup: 185 CFM @ 125 PSI minimum; 185–250 CFM @ 125 PSI recommended.
• AI30 Plus Working Pressure: 87–116 PSI.

Compressor compatibility should be based on sustained CFM at the required PSI rather than horsepower or tank size alone. Use clean, dry compressed air for stable performance.

A: The extended hose is essential for the following applications:

• Automotive Restoration (Undercarriages & Trucks): Keep the machine on the floor while working under a raised vehicle lift or crawling inside large truck beds.
• Industrial Food Processing Ovens: Clean deep inside baking ovens or under massive overhead conveyor belts without dragging the machine inside tight food zones.
• Factory Ceiling & HVAC Cleaning: Leave the heavy machine on the ground floor while reaching overhead ductwork or ceiling structures.
• Continuous Production Line Detailing: Move along longer production equipment or assembly-line areas with less need to reposition the machine. Follow all required shutdown, lockout/tagout, and site safety procedures before cleaning.

A: Dry ice blasting can offer several advantages for professional cleaning applications:

1. Minimal Secondary Media: Dry ice pellets sublimate on impact, so no spent blasting media such as sand or glass beads remains. Removed contaminants still need to be collected or cleaned up.
2. Non-Abrasive Cleaning: Dry ice blasting is generally non-abrasive and can be suitable for many metal surfaces, molds, and equipment components when the pressure, nozzle, distance, and cleaning parameters are properly selected.
3. Reduced Disassembly in Suitable Applications: Because the process does not add liquid water, some equipment can be cleaned in place after proper shutdown and safety preparation, which may help reduce cleaning and maintenance downtime.

A:No.The AI30 is designed exclusively for dry ice pellets. Adding sand, walnut shells, glass beads, or other abrasive media may damage the feeding system and void the warranty.

If your application requires aggressive rust removal or abrasive blasting media, consider the AI50 Dry Ice Blasting Machine, which is better suited for heavy-duty industrial cleaning and surface preparation.

A: The AI30 and AI30 Plus are backed by a 1-year manufacturer warranty. Shipping damage, incorrect shipments, and manufacturing defects are handled according to our warranty and refund policy.

30-Day Return Request Window: Non-defective return requests may be considered within 30 days of delivery. Approved returns may involve return freight and a condition-based deduction.
