Commando 80 Dry Ice Blaster

IDEAL APPLICATIONS:

The COMMANDO® 80 Dry Ice Blaster is designed for demanding commercial and industrial cleaning applications where extended blasting time and reliable performance are essential. Its large hopper capacity and high-airflow design make it well suited for facilities that perform routine equipment maintenance or require efficient cleaning with minimal disruption to operations.

Common applications include:

• Food Processing: Remove grease, baked-on residue, and production buildup from food processing equipment without introducing water or additional blasting media.
• Automotive Manufacturing: Clean molds, tooling, production equipment, robotic weld cells, and assembly line components during scheduled maintenance.
• Heavy Equipment: Remove grease, oil, dirt, and accumulated contaminants from industrial machinery and mechanical components.
• Foundries: Clean casting molds, dies, and production equipment to help maintain efficient manufacturing processes.
• Tire and Rubber Manufacturing: Remove rubber residue, release agents, and production buildup from molds and manufacturing equipment.
• Marine: Clean engines, mechanical components, and industrial equipment while reducing secondary cleanup requirements.
• Aerospace: Maintain manufacturing equipment, tooling, and production machinery used in aerospace facilities.
• Power Generation: Clean turbines, generators, electrical equipment, and other industrial assets during maintenance shutdowns.
• Restoration: Assist with the removal of soot, smoke residue, mold, and other contaminants during restoration and remediation projects.

MAINTENANCE:

The COMMANDO® 80 is designed to simplify routine maintenance and minimize downtime. Its modular electrical box and field-serviceable blasting gun allow many repairs to be completed quickly, helping operators return the machine to service with minimal interruption.

For reliable performance, regularly inspect the hopper, blasting hose, nozzles, and air connections for signs of wear or damage. Keeping the dry ice delivery system clean and ensuring a clean, dry compressed air supply can also help maintain consistent blasting performance.

The removable 80 lb (36 kg) stainless steel hopper makes cleaning and routine inspection more convenient, while following the recommended maintenance procedures in the operation manual helps maximize equipment reliability and service life. If replacement parts or technical assistance are needed, the Nu-Ice support team can provide guidance and genuine replacement components.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. What is the COMMANDO® 80 Dry Ice Blaster designed for?

The COMMANDO® 80 is designed for demanding commercial and industrial cleaning applications that require extended blasting time, reliable dry ice delivery, and strong blasting performance.

BlitzFeed® is Nu-Ice’s patented dry ice delivery system. It uses a heavy-duty stainless steel hopper and built-in vibration to help maintain a reliable ice feed and reduce freezing during operation.

4. Can the COMMANDO® 80 be used for extended cleaning projects?

Yes. The COMMANDO® 80 is specifically designed for commercial cleaning applications that require extended operation time.

5. Does the COMMANDO® 80 have adjustable blasting pressure?

Yes. The machine includes integrated blast pressure adjustment, allowing operators to control blasting performance based on the cleaning application.

6. What type of compressed air supply is required?

Air supply requirements can vary depending on the nozzle, blasting pressure, and application. Contact Nu-Ice for guidance on the recommended compressor configuration for the COMMANDO® 80.

7. Is the COMMANDO® 80 field serviceable?

Yes. The modular electrical box and blasting gun are designed to be repaired quickly in the field, helping simplify maintenance and reduce downtime.

8. What industries can use the COMMANDO® 80?

The COMMANDO® 80 may be used in industries such as food processing, automotive manufacturing, heavy equipment, foundries, tire and rubber manufacturing, marine, aerospace, power generation, and restoration.

9. Does dry ice blasting leave secondary blasting media behind?

Dry ice pellets sublimate into gas after impact, so the process does not leave behind secondary blasting media. Removed contaminants may still need to be collected and disposed of appropriately.

10. What is included with the COMMANDO® 80?

The package includes the COMMANDO® 80 unit, blasting and air supply hoses, blasting gun, round and fan nozzles, nozzle extension, twist-grip handle, ice scoop, operation manual, and case.
