PowerSnoTM (Model
PS-6000)
Now safely and completely clean delicate shapes and complex assemblies with
tiny crystals of dry ice snow. Today you can remove thin hydrocarbon films,
and submicron particles without residues from wipe or swabs. No water, no
waste, no worries. Your parts are clean…pure and simple.

With a PowerSno™, liquid CO2
is transformed in an amazingly powerful cleaning agent. Delivered by a heated
propellant, the SnoShear™ jet impacts stubborn particles with 100 times the
force of a simple air blow-off gun. The dry ice snow particle “explodes”
back into a gas upon impact, blowing dirt away. Or, when the cleansing stream
blankets a thin film, it freezes it into a rapidly removed gel.
Patented Deflex technology allows independent adjustment of all three process
keys: snow flow, thrust and temperature. Use larger, harder “snow balls”
for heavy contaminants including flux residues or gently brush sub-micron
particles from fragile items including hard drive components with a slower,
warmer spray. Unlike crude expansion guns, you have total control of your
process and your costs with a PowerSno™.
PowerSnoTM
XP Model PS-8000
Precision Spray Cleaning System (Model PS-8000)
The PowerSno™ XP efficiently purifies and condenses liquid CO2
in the same compact unit that generates the cleaning jet of carbon dioxide
snow. PurCO2 puts high purity liquid CO2 right where
you need it, at a price that’s comfortable.

CleanStation
Model CS6000 Precision CO2 Cleaning
System
In this unique system you’ll
enjoy a perfect cleaning environment in nearly any location. Whether in a
classroom, laboratory or technical office, PurCO2’s proven
benefits are instantly available. Just plug it in to create the perfect space
for SnoShear™ cleaning where liquid CO2 is transformed into a
powerful cleansing jet.
Now you’ll
remove fingerprints, films, and submicron particles without residues from
wipes or swabs. With the CleanStation™ your parts are Clean...pure and
simple.

SNO-BOT WORKCELL SERIES
Now SnoShear™ cleaning and BlueFire™ CO2
plasma technology are combined in a large format surface prep system. The
SnoBot™ Workcell series can handle substrates or fixtures up to 24 inches
square providing cleaning and surface modification like never before.
Within the interlocked and exhausted enclosure, parts are thoroughly scrubbed
with pure snowballs to remove gross surface contamination. Momentum
transfer blasts particles away while the instantaneous solvent power of liquid
CO2 creates quickly removed gels. Then a powerful jet of
BlueFire™ plasma breaks the bonds of tough organics like a jackhammer with
a microscopic combination of UV light, ozone, oxygen radicals and heat. A
final pass with CO2 snow blows sub-micron debris away.
Test results prove parts are
hyper clean, better than dangerous solvents and without costly and
time-consuming multiple processing stations. Your parts are ready for
wire bonding, gluing, imprinting, assembly or other secondary operations
where reduced surface tension makes coatings flow rapidly and completely.

SNOW-BOT BENCHTOP RANGE
Flexible Automated Cleaning
SnoShear™ cleaning is an extremely rapid process. In a fraction of a second
it removes thin films, fluxes and particles. It leaves no residue for it uses
only clean, non-toxic carbon dioxide and no drying is required.
Its' 5mm circle of cleanliness is perfect for spot cleaning complex
components or bonding pads on stuffed circuit cards. For larger areas this
high efficiency plume can be sped at 300mm a second or even faster. Imagine
pristine optics, crisp ceramic parts or sensitive assemblies quickly adding
to your bottom line.
