Precision Cleaning

Cool Clean Technologies provides precision cleaning that utilizes recycled CO₂. Recycled CO₂ is an excellent cleaning media for the removal of contaminants (solvents, oils, particulates, moisture, and more) from the surfaces of precision devices.

Cool Clean Technologies is the global leader of CO₂ based precision cleaning systems in Medical, Aerospace, Semi-Conductor, Dental, Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM), Industrial Micro-Electronics, Fiber Optics, Solar Energy, Jewelry and Garment Industries.

CO₂ cleaning (a.k.a. dry ice blasting, dry ice cleaning, or carbon dioxide cleaning) is environmentally friendly, eliminating the use of deionized water, chemicals, and waste agents.

As technology has advanced, performance requirements and complexity of precision instruments has increased. Cool Clean has stayed ahead of this curve by continually providing state-of-the-art precision cleaning products used in conjunction with applications such as ultrasonic cleaning and aerospace cleaning.

Our precision cleaning equipment is typically placed directly into the manufacturing lines of precision substrates such as semiconductor wafers, sensitive media, fiber optic components, optoelectronic components, medical devices, and sensor devices.

Cool Clean has precision cleaning systems operating in over 20 countries in some of the most challenging applications in the world. In several industries, our CO₂cleaning technology is processing nearly the entire global demand of certain high volume products.

Precision Cleaning Applications

Precision Cleaning: Particle Removal

Our particle removal processes are currently being performed in the following industries: Hard Disk Drives (HDD) and Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM)

Benefits: Can clean partially assembled components – makes rework drives possible; less floor space than traditional aqueous based systems.

Successful applications of particle removal include (but not limited to):

Removal of particles from HDD drive component surfaces before / during assembly of hard disk drive
Particles can damage the read-write head & media. CO₂ provides particle removal with no damage
CO₂cleaning eliminates the need for spoConductor, Electronics, Lasers, Automotive, Optics (Fiber / Lenses), and Jewelry Benefits: It is a clean, dry process capable of spot cleaning, adaptable to manual or automated use, short cycle without drying (energy saving), less cleaning variability, improves bond strength, and is environmentally friendly. Removes particles and biological type organics from surfaces.Successful applications of particle and thin film removal include (but not limited to):
t cleaning, as all areas are cleaned simultaneously including areas that are normally avoided such as motor hubs and filters
Our technology allows us to remove particles as small as 0.2 to 0.3 microns and this is done in a dry CO₂ process
