Dry ice cleaning machines include various lineups such as CHALLENGER-ES, CHALLENGER-D, and CHALLENGER-AS models. Development of dry cleaning equipment like the CO2 SnowJet Cleaning System (SSJC-2), which sprays fine dry ice particles at high speed from liquid or supercritical carbon dioxide. This cleaning method is an eco-friendly technology that does not use secondary waste or chemical substances. It is safe for electrical components, can be used during operation without damaging equipment, and minimizes downtime.DryicecleaningmachinesincludevariouslineupssuchasCHALLENGER-ES,CHALLENGER-D,andCHALLENGER-ASmodels.DevelopmentofdrycleaningequipmentliketheCO2SnowJetCleaningSystem(SSJC-2),whichspraysfinedryiceparticlesathighspeedfromliquidorsupercriticalcarbondioxide.Thiscleaningmethodisaneco-friendlytechnologythatdoesnotusesecondarywasteorchemicalsubstances.Itissafeforelectricalcomponents,canbeusedduringoperationwithoutdamagingequipment,andminimizesdowntime.
Dry ice pellet manufacturing machines utilize proprietary production technology to automatically manufacture various sizes of dry ice pellets from liquefied carbon dioxide. Models capable of producing 50kg to 500kg per hour are available, offering pellet sizes from 3mm to 19mm. High-density dry ice production capability up to 1550kg/m³ is secured. The company also supplies dry ice block manufacturing machines.Dryicepelletmanufacturingmachinesutilizeproprietaryproductiontechnologytoautomaticallymanufacturevarioussizesofdryicepelletsfromliquefiedcarbondioxide.Modelscapableofproducing50kgto500kgperhourareavailable,offeringpelletsizesfrom3mmto19mm.High-densitydryiceproductioncapabilityupto1550kg/m³issecured.Thecompanyalsosuppliesdryiceblockmanufacturingmachines.
Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) technology involves the development of modular compact carbon capture and liquefaction facilities (MCC-300, CCL-300R) suitable for small to medium-scale carbon emitters. Development of energy-efficient technologies such as hybrid non-powered carbon capture facilities contributes to the carbon-neutral industry. The company strengthens its technological competitiveness by receiving key patents related to CO2 capture technology from Korea Electric Power Corporation. It provides CCUS solutions that enhance the cleanliness of blue hydrogen production by capturing CO2 generated during hydrogen production.CarbonCaptureandUtilization(CCU)technologyinvolvesthedevelopmentofmodularcompactcarboncaptureandliquefactionfacilities(MCC-300,CCL-300R)suitableforsmalltomedium-scalecarbonemitters.Developmentofenergy-efficienttechnologiessuchashybridnon-poweredcarboncapturefacilitiescontributestothecarbon-neutralindustry.ThecompanystrengthensitstechnologicalcompetitivenessbyreceivingkeypatentsrelatedtoCO2capturetechnologyfromKoreaElectricPowerCorporation.ItprovidesCCUSsolutionsthatenhancethecleanlinessofbluehydrogenproductionbycapturingCO2generatedduringhydrogenproduction.
Nuclear power plant decommissioning robot systems involve the expansion of business areas through the development of remote control robots and high-power laser cutting systems for nuclear power plant decommissioning.
