Dry Ice Blasting is an advanced cleaning technology increasingly used across industries for its speed, safety, and environmental benefits. Unlike traditional cleaning methods that rely on water, chemicals, or abrasive materials, dry ice blasting uses solid CO₂ pellets to remove contaminants without damaging equipment or leaving any residue.
It is one of the most effective solutions for companies seeking cleaner, safer, and more efficient maintenance processes.
Dry Ice Pellets are accelerated at high speed by compressed air. When they strike a surface:
The extreme cold temperature (-79°C) creates a micro-thermal shock that loosens dirt, grease, paint, oils, and buildup.
The dry ice immediately converts from solid to gas, leaving no liquid, no moisture, and no secondary waste.
The air stream removes the loosened contaminants, leaving equipment clean and dry.
This combination makes the process both powerful and gentle — suitable even for delicate components.
No solvents or detergents are required, and no wastewater is produced.
Non-conductive, non-abrasive, and completely dry — ideal for motors, wiring, control panels, sensors, and high-precision equipment.
Surfaces are cleaned without grinding, scratching, or damaging the underlying material.
Cleaning can be done on-site and without dismantling, making it perfect for continuous production environments.
