• Commercial Cleaning: Support contract cleaning companies performing industrial equipment maintenance, facility cleaning, and specialized dry ice blasting services across multiple job sites.

MAINTENANCE: 

The COMMANDO® 40 PRO is designed to support straightforward maintenance and reliable operation in industrial and commercial environments. Its modular construction and field-repairable components can help reduce downtime when routine servicing or replacement parts are required.

Operators should regularly inspect the hopper, blasting hose, air supply hose, nozzles, blasting gun, fittings, and connections for signs of wear, blockage, or damage. Worn or damaged components should be replaced before the machine is operated.

Maintaining a clean, dry compressed air supply is also important for consistent dry ice delivery and blasting performance. Moisture or contaminants within the air supply may affect machine operation and contribute to freezing or restricted airflow.

The stainless steel hopper should be kept clean and free from remaining dry ice or debris after use. Operators should follow all cleaning, inspection, and maintenance procedures outlined in the operation manual.

For technical support, replacement parts, or service guidance, users can contact the Nu-Ice support team.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1. What is the COMMANDO® 40 PRO Dry Ice Blaster?

The COMMANDO® 40 PRO is a portable, all-pneumatic dry ice blasting machine designed for industrial, commercial, and restoration cleaning applications. It operates using compressed air and dry ice pellets.

2. What is the difference between the COMMANDO® 40 and the COMMANDO® 40 PRO?

The COMMANDO® 40 PRO includes additional controls for adjusting air pressure and dry ice pellet feed. These controls provide greater flexibility over blasting performance than the standard COMMANDO® 40 model.

3. Does the COMMANDO® 40 PRO require electricity?

No. The COMMANDO® 40 PRO is an all-pneumatic machine and operates using compressed air.

4. Can the COMMANDO® 40 PRO operate using shop air?

The machine may operate using standard shop air when connected through a 1-inch air supply line. Actual performance will depend on the available air pressure, airflow, nozzle, and cleaning application.

5. What is the BlitzFeed® Freezeless Hopper Design?

BlitzFeed® is Nu-Ice’s patented dry ice delivery system. It combines a spun stainless steel hopper with built-in vibration to help maintain a reliable pellet feed and reduce freezing during operation.

6. Can the blasting pressure be adjusted?

Yes. The COMMANDO® 40 PRO includes integrated air-pressure control, allowing operators to adjust blasting intensity according to the surface and contaminant being cleaned.

7. Can the pellet feed rate be adjusted?

Yes. The machine includes adjustable dry ice pellet-feed control, allowing operators to regulate the amount of dry ice used during blasting.

8. What industries can use the COMMANDO® 40 PRO?

The machine may be used by manufacturing facilities, automotive businesses, restoration contractors, food-processing facilities, industrial maintenance teams, and commercial cleaning professionals.

9. Does dry ice blasting leave secondary blasting media behind?

Dry ice pellets sublimate into gas after impact, so they do not leave secondary blasting media behind. Removed grease, residue, dirt, or other contaminants may still need to be collected and disposed of properly.

10. Is the COMMANDO® 40 PRO portable?

Yes. The machine is designed as a lightweight, portable dry ice blaster that can be moved between work areas and transported to different job sites.
