What is dry ice blasting?

Dry ice blasting is a relatively new cleaning process using solid CO2 pellets to clean and remove coatings, residue, and buildups from a variety of surfaces. Pellets are propelled against a substrate at high speed and convert from a solid to a vapor leaving no residue. The elimination of additional secondary waste is why many industries are choosing dry ice blasting as a superior alternative to sandblasting, glass bead blasting, hydro-blasting, solvents, and other cleaning methods.

Dry ice blasting is:

• Non-abrasive, nonflammable and nonconductive

• Environmentally-friendly and contains no secondary contaminants such as solvents or grit media

• Clean and approved for use in the food industry

• Can be used without damaging active electrical or mechanical parts or creating fire hazards

• Can be used to remove production residues, grease, release agents, contaminants, graffiti, tar, asphalt, paints and oils

• Can be as gentle as dusting smoke damage from books or as aggressive as removing weld slag from tooling

• Can be used for many general cleaning applications

Benefits

• Dry ice blasting will clean up to 80% faster than other cleaning methods saving time and money

• Reduces downtime of equipment and production personnel

• Eliminates cleaning downtime as most equipment can be cleaned in place

• No additional secondary waste clean up as dry ice does not contribute to secondary waste. We clean up what we remove from the substrate.

• Gets into tight spaces and cleans out crevices that other methods cannot

• Environmentally SAFE and responsible
