A US manufacturer of truck-mounted boom cranes and lifts recently trialed PowerBall® Replacement Welding Consumables on their existing MIG guns that often experienced a short contact tip life. Welders in the facility were increasingly frustrated by the excess downtime due to frequent consumable change-outs. After converting the diffusers and contact tips to the PowerBall® design, consumable life was double that of the OEM consumables on their existing MIG guns.

After a successful trial of the replacement consumables, they are now in the process of converting to PowerBall® MIG Welding Guns due to the increased consumable life, welding performance, durability and operator comfort.

Reduced Downtime for Maintenance
Dry ice blasting is a fast cleaning method that significantly reduces equipment downtime. Dry ice blasting can be performed in place, without the need for equipment disassembly, allowing for quick and efficient cleaning.

Non-abrasive Cleaning for Sensitive Components
Utilizing dry ice pellets, which are non-abrasive (when used with a fragmenter) and non-conductive, dry ice blasting is ideal for cleaning automation equipment. Check out this video of a circuit board cleaned using dry ice blasting.

Non-toxic and Eco-friendly
Dry ice is made of solid CO2 and leaves no chemical residues behind. It is non-toxic and environmentally friendly, eliminating the need for hazardous chemicals or solvents, reducing waste and minimizing the risk of contamination.

Improved Quality and Productivity
Dry ice blasting helps maintain optimal performance and efficiency by keeping weld cells clean. Clean equipment leads to better welding consistency, reduced downtime and more reliable operation of robotic equipment.
