4.  Can CRYONOMIC® Equipment handle channels and tubes?

Many channels and tubes can be cleaned well with CRYONOMIC® Equipment but there are some limitations:

 This is basically a line-of-sight cleaning method. The pellets have limited effect around corners.

 In cleaning deep cavities, back pressure is created that counteracts the blast effect and reduces the speed of the pellets.

 Difficult configurations for cleaning include deep, narrow channels, very small tubes, with closed ends or tubes with bends.
