Applied Surface Technologies - a premier manufacturer of Carbon Dioxide Snow Cleaning equipment. The CO2 Snow Cleaning process removes micron and submicron particulates and hydrocarbon-based contamination. Carbon dioxide snow cleaning is nondestructive, nonabrasive, residue-free, and environmentally friendly - there is no chemical waste. The cleaning process is based upon the expansion of either liquid or gaseous carbon dioxide through an orifice. This expansion leads to the nucleation of small dry ice particles and a high velocity gas carrier stream. Upon impact with a dirty surface, the dry ice media removes particles by momentum transfer, even micron and submicron particulates, and hydrocarbons via a transient solvent or a freeze fracture mechanism. The high-velocity gas blows the contaminants away.

Carbon Dioxide Snow Cleaning can be used for either initial or final cleaning, and for numerous critical and non-critical cleaning applications in the semiconductor, disk drive, research, vacuum technologies, surface science, surface analysis, optical, medical, automotive, analytical instrument, and manufacturing communities.

BellowsTech, LLC, - specializes in the design and manufacture of precision edge welded metal bellows and assemblies, in a wide array of alloys and dimensional configurations; serving the high vacuum and related industries. Materials include Titanium, 316LSS, AM350SS, Inconel/Hastelly and Aluminum. Our production capabilities include a full range of diameters and thicknesses ranging from .394” (10mm) to 26” (660mm) in diameter, in materials .002” (.05mm) to .036” (.91mm) thick, and lengths up to 96” (244cm).

Edge welded bellows are very durable and offer a function unobtainable with any other technology known today. Bellows can flex considerably while maintaining true all-metal, hermetic sealing. The secret of a welded bellows flexibility is its construction of many very thin, washer-leaflets microwelded together in series to create an accordion-like tube. Thus the general envelope shape of edge welded bellows is a hollow round cylinder where the axis of the cylinder is the direction of most flex travel (axial stroke). However, due to its extreme flexibility a bellows can also flex in an angular way (bending) as well as allowing for parallel end-face to end-face shift (lateral motion).

For applications that require high quality, state-of-the-art Micro Fusion Joined edge welded bellows are more cost effective and functional than either Electron Beam or Laser Welded.

Each BellowsTech product can be custom designed to meet your exact requirements while exceeding your performance expectations.
