FOR ENGINEERS WHO ALREADY KNOW THE PROBLEM
Most dry ice systems lose their energy before they reach the surface. The APHELION is built around solving that.
Conventional blasting optimizes pressure and pellet rate. That's the wrong variable. Cleaning performance is determined by how the stream couples at the interface — and that's exactly where the APHELION architecture focuses.
THE PROBLEM WITH CONVENTIONAL SYSTEMS
CONVENTIONAL APPROACH
Maximize pressure. Maximize pellet rate. The stream looks aggressive in free air.
At the surface it arrives as a dilute plume — energy dispersed, coupling lost, contamination only partially removed.
APHELION APPROACH
Engineer the interface. Control how the stream couples at the surface — not just how it looks in free air.
Modular supersonic venturi nozzle architecture. Controlled kinetic energy delivery. No moisture, no abrasives, no secondary waste.

Not every application qualifies.
Before any system ships, we evaluate your specific surface, contamination type, and environment. If the APHELION isn't the right tool for your application, we'll tell you — and point you toward what is.
Performance guarantee: If the system doesn't meet the benchmarks we set for your facility, we make it right.
