From Our Clients
Your process using dry ice to blast clean our extruder worked extremely well. We saved on downtime allowing us to get up and running in a fraction of the time it normally takes after cleaning. Thanks to your crew; they did a great job!
My wife and I want to send our sincere thanks for the great service. We really enjoyed meeting you and we appreciate the fact that you made it happen as quickly as you did, especially with our renovation in progress. Your team was amazing and they did a superb job. David and his crew were fantastic. They were polite, courteous, and they left the house spotless. Class “A” all the way. I would recommend Wickens to anyone that we know. Thanks again for everything.
David and Philip did an amazing job with the last cleaning work. They accomplished a lot and it was very noticeable.
I just wanted you to know how impressed I was with the service and quality of work provided by Kevin. Kevin went above and beyond. He and his partner removed the asbestos, taking pictures of the completed work that I was able to share with our customer. I was so impressed by his courteous manner, his professionalism, and his quality of work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need an air preparation unit?
The air from a general air compressor is HOT and WET – diesel compressor air will have temperatures of above 100°F, and will pull in humidity with it. These conditions would quickly destroy standard air hoses and diaphragms in dry ice blasting equipment.
An air preparation unit is designed to take the hot, wet, and oily air from a compressor and prepare it for a dry ice blasting unit. The air temperature is brought down to just above ambient and then passed through a water filter/separator. This air is then sent to the air supply hose.
A small amount of oil and moisture will remain in these conditions, but the amount is inconsequential for most blasting operations. If you need more oil or water removed, attachments are available for our air preparation units to accommodate.
Can I rent the air preparation unit before buying?
Absolutely. You’re able to rent any of our machines before you choose to purchase to see how it works for you. We’re certain that once it’s in your hands, you’ll see how much you’ll love dry ice blasting with our equipment.
