Original Abstract

This paper presents an innovation of blasting machine with dry ice shaving mechanism that has not yet been published. Development phase focused on decrease of compressed air consumption which is used to power dry ice shaving mechanism. This consumption at current blasting machines may reach up to 25% of total compressed air consumption. Standard pneumatic drive of the shaving mechanism was innovatively replaced with electric drive. This new arrangement allows for significant reduction in consumption of compressed air, as proved by our measurements. Considerable increase in total performance of the blasting machine and operation productivity is the main benefit of the new innovation.
