The ATD Cardox®
pressure GAS system
in action.


How the system works
The ATD-Pressure Gas Tube is been used directly where the build-up occurs. As the entry to the obstruction, ATD-Base sockets are
installed i.e. on the steel shell of the plant. Through the insertion hole, the ATD-Pressure Gas Tube will be inserted into the build-up
with the Discharge Head in safe distance behind the refractory.
Locked with the ATD·Grip Case to the ATD·Basesocket, the DG-Tube is set to break up the deposits by the strong release of the C02-charge.
Inside the ATD-Pressure Gas Tube, the pressure of the C02 charge gets consequent increased by activating the ATD·Pressure Gas
Generator. At a very pre-determined level, the Shear Disc blows and the released C02-gas is directed by the Discharge Head exactly
where required.
With application 150 – 600 litres C02 volume with blasting pressures between 1500 and 2700 bar are set free, depending upon used
ATD-Pressure Gas Tube. The response time amounts to approx. 40 ms.
Your staff will be trained and certified by ATD-Technicians in the ATD-Pressure Gas System CARDOX .

The advantages
The ATD CARDOX® CO₂ pressure-release system removes build-ups in your equipment. A major advantage for your operation – your production keeps running. But our ATD CARDOX® CO₂ pressure-release system delivers much more.
- Safety standards developed
Our system has been continuously improved for for more than 70 years. Every step engineered. Every material perfected. That’s how we ensure maximum safety. Our ATD-System also uses cold, inert carbon dioxide. No blasting license required.
- High breaking power
With our ATD-system, break up material that’s tougher than Monday morning without coffee. Whether industrial build-ups or solid rock: Our system makes short work of both.
- Gentle on your equipment
The ATD tube is positioned precisely and discharged. Our system also limits dust and keeps fragments contained. Your equipment will appreciate it.
- Ready whenever you are
Our ATD tubes are ready immediately – insert, activate, done. Activate today, tomorrow, or a year from now. Our tubes are built for storage.
- Innovation for more than 70 years
We’ve steadily evolved since the 1950s. For a system that’s not only state of the art – but also safe and efficient for the future.
