Cardox System

The Cardox System is a non-explosive CO₂ discharge technology used for clearing blockages, removing build-up and improving material flow in demanding industrial environments.

Core Uses

  • Silo & hopper blockage removal
  • Kiln and preheater cleaning
  • Bulk material flow restoration
  • Industrial maintenance support
Why Cardox

Controlled, Non-Explosive Material Clearing

Non-Explosive

No required license needed to be used.

Reduced Downtime

Supports fast blockage clearing and maintenance operations.

Industrial Use

Suitable for cement, mining, energy and bulk handling facilities.

Controlled Force

Designed for targeted discharge in confined or difficult areas.

Applications

Where the Cardox System is Used

Cement Plants

Preheaters, cyclones, rotary kilns, coolers, precalciners, silos and hoppers.

Power Plants & EfW

Boilers, economisers, ash systems, silos and material build-up areas.

Bulk Materials

Silos, bins, hoppers and storage vessels affected by compacted material.

Mining & Quarrying

Rock breaking, ore handling, boulder breaking and flow restoration.

Civils & Demolition

Rock excavation, tunnelling, trenching and controlled concrete breaking.

Industrial Maintenance

Shutdown support, emergency clearing and recurring blockage problems.

How It Works

Liquid CO₂ Expansion Technology

The system uses liquid CO₂ contained within a specialised tube. When activated, the liquid CO₂ rapidly expands into gas, creating a powerful controlled discharge that can clear compacted or blocked material.
