Ford Approves Milestone Event With Introduction of First Ice Blast Gear Cleaning System Into Cincinnati Plant KIRKLAND, Wash., Jan. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Universal Ice Blast Inc (OTC Bulletin Board: UIBI) is pleased to announce that Ford has installed the company's new Ice Blast Gear Cleaning System at the Ford Sharonville plant in Ohio. The new Gear Cleaning station will undergo tests to replace the existing water-blast system. "This is a significant shift into a new (sunrise) technology by a major industrial corporation," says company Chairman and CEO Rory Clarke. "This endeavor is a FIRST for the automotive industry. Never have any of the three big automakers introduced crystalline ice blast equipment for insertion into their production lines." The ice blast technology provides Ford with a new way to clean, de-chip and deburr transmission and engine components. "Our blasting process will provide a cleaner, safer product than the more traditional forms of water blasting," says Clarke. "We feel that the unique properties of ice blasting, with its scrub and flush action, make ice blast superior to water-blasting," states company president and COO, Sam Visaisouk PhD. "Water blast requires a chemical or soap additive in order to clean oil and other lubricants, ice blast needs no such additives." Universal Ice Blast is proud to present a cost effective, reliable, worker safe system not only to Ford but also to the entire automotive industry. "We firmly believe that our ice blast technology and suite of products will meet or exceed most existing cleaning requirements for our targeted markets," states Clarke. The new Gear Cleaning System will be added to UIBI's growing family of cleaning, de-chipping and deburring products directed towards transmissions and engines. "With the announcement of our Gear Cleaning system to the automotive industry we have had several inquiries from leading manufacturer's in the United States, Europe and Japan," adds Visaisouk. "We have just scratched the surface, the potential for our ice blast technology is very exciting. Our innovative technology is being recognized in several commercial markets worldwide."
