Dry Ice Blasting Cleaning for Industrial Applications

What is dry ice blasting cleaning?

Dry ice blast cleaning offers an environmental solution in the removal of surface contaminants found within a multitude of industrial applications. The system provides a rapid and non-abrasive alternative to traditional methods of surface cleaning.

The equipment operates by accelerating dry ice through a compressed air stream, impacting the particles upon the surface being cleaned.

The process provides a dry and abrasion free clean, and because the dry ice pellets sublime immediately upon impact (turn from a solid to a gas), there is no secondary waste disposal necessary.

Key advantages of dry ice blast cleaning

Reduction in operating costs: allows for online cleaning in many applications, removing the need for prior dismantling of equipment. Significantly reducing downtime and cost.

Non-abrasive cleaning: can be used on precision tooling and electrical equipment.

No secondary waste: only the surface contaminant being removed requires disposal as the dry ice sublimes immediately upon impact.

Environmentally friendly: non-toxic and non-corrosive. There is no need for hazardous solvents or chemicals, or for their controlled and costly disposal.
