Introducing the new COB81 dry ice cleaning machine !

Get ready for the COB81, the latest developed dry ice blasting machine ! Our engineers have made some nice improvements on the COB62plus to make your blasting experience smoother and more efficient. The COB81 is especially developed for focalised cleaning and high performance cleaning with low air consumption.

This machine is based on the patented Delfrex technology of ARTIMPEX NV. and meets the new EC machine directive 2006/42/EC (incl 2006/95/EC and 2004/108/EC).

The COB81 is pre-equipped to do more than dry ice cleaning: by adding a little bit of grit you can use it also as a dry ice grit blaster !

What's new ?

  • Better pellet flow: our new hopper design ensures dry ice pellets flow effortlessly, just like our bigger machines. The new design also holds 17 kg dry ice instead of 14 kg!
  • Less compressed air, same results: We’ve optimized airflow, so you’ll get top results with less air. It’s efficient and saves you time and money.
  • Robust illuminated buttons: buttons are super durable and easy to use, even with gloves on!
  • Programmed soft start to avoid sudden reaction force on the gun
  • Ergonomic support for 5m or 10m dry ice hose
  • Incl. forklift support
  • Fixed power cable incl. winding system
  • Rigid cable connectors selected to last, keeping you blasting without interruption

In short:

Strong cleaning power in a compact housing

For what dry ice applications can you use the COB81 ?

With dry ice that is soft you can clean without any damage:

• Removal of oil, grease, carbon residues, foodstuff, bitumen, paint, fly rust, ….from any object
• Stubborn residues from production equipment like plastic, rubber of used release agents from moulds, ….

With dry ice and abrasives that are semi-hard or hard you remove and damage slightly the top layer of metals, stone,

• Removing all rust to realise a metal-bright surface 
• Surface roughening before coating, glueing, painting,… of metals
• It can be used to clean buildings, infrastructure and other objects of different nature (wood, metal, stone etc.) that require an abrasive touch

Dry ice cleaning, ecological alternative for sandblasting!
