ABSTRACT:
An ice blasting cleaning system including an ice maker that creates ice particles, at least one separator that separates snow from the ice particles, a hopper into which the ice particles enter, and a blasting gun that receives the ice particles and propels them toward the surface to be cleaned. The separator may be for example, an air blower, an ice breaker plate set at a steep angle, a heated or a cooled ice breaker plate, or a rotating brush. The present invention also includes an ice blasting cleaning method for cleaning a surface using ice particles as the cleaning agent. The method includes creating ice particles and snow, separating the ice particles from the snow, the ice particles entering a hopper, and propelling the ice particles toward the surface to be cleaned.
