Embodiment Construction

[0040] Throughout the following description, specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding to those skilled in the art. However, well known elements may not have been shown or described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the disclosure. Accordingly, the specification and drawings are to be regarded as illustrative rather than restrictive.

[0041] In general, and by way of introduction and overview, embodiments described in this disclosure relate to an ice blasting system and method in which bulk ice is supplied from an external source rather than produced internally. By eliminating the internal ice maker, the ice blasting system is smaller, lighter, simpler and more portable. Ice blasting systems have a particle sorter (or breaker) that uses a claw-like mechanism with two sets of opposing ice-breaking teeth to crush or break up bulk ice. The sorted particles are mixed into a stream of pressurized fluidizing agent, such as compressed air...

Abstract

A blast cleaning system has a nozzle configured to deliver a pressurized blast cleaning media. The blast cleaning media includes a pressurized fluid and water ice particles as the primary blast cleaning component. The system includes an input hopper configured to accept supplied water ice in bulk form from an outside source. The system further includes a particle sizing module configured to produce the water ice particles for the pressurized blast cleaning media from the supplied water ice after the supplied water ice has been accepted into the input hopper.

Description

[0001] Cross references to related patent applications [0002] This application claims benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 294,161, filed February 11, 2016, entitled "Method and Apparatus for Pressurized Supply Ice Blasting," This application is incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to the field of ice blasting. Background technique [0004] Ice blasting involves directing a stream of ice particles at high speed and pressure onto a surface in order to clean or remove parts of the surface. US Patent 6,270,394 discloses an apparatus for ice blasting. [0005] Typically, ice blasting systems generate their own supply of ice, also as shown in US Patent 6,270,394. Onboard icemakers add to the complexity, size, weight, and cost of such systems, and reduce portability due to the need to connect to a water supply. Accordingly, there is a need for an ice blasting system that overcomes at...
