  • Apparatus and method for high flow particle blasting without particle storage
    Patent number: 9592586
    Abstract: A particle blast apparatus transport is capable of generating granular sized particles and delivering them without substantial storage to a single hose feeder assembly. The apparatus is configured to be used with solid blocks of cryogenic material, such as carbon dioxide, and with individual pellets of such material.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and Apparatus For Forming Carbon Dioxide Pellets
    Publication number: 20120291479
    Abstract: The outer periphery of a pelletizer barrel is devoid of obstructions allowing the number, location and size of vents to be maximized, thereby improving the flow rate of gas being vented from the interior chamber, allowing increased efficiency in and of production of pellets. Screens on the vents are disposed adjacent the inner surface of the barrel sidewall, reducing the volume within which snow can accumulate, thereby avoiding reduction in the venting of gas from the interior chamber resulting from snow accumulation in the vent passageways.
