Dry Ice Blasting

Dry Ice Blasting

Dry ice blasting, otherwise known as dry ice cleaning offers a non-toxic, non-abrasive, and moisture-free solution to cleaning challenges, making it suitable for everything from delicate electronic components to heavy industrial machinery. Unlike traditional cleaning methods that often rely on water, chemicals, or abrasive media, our dry ice cleaning service preserves the integrity of the cleaned surfaces, extends the lifespan of equipment, and eliminates the need for disassembly and reassembly, reducing downtime significantly.

How does it work?

 1. KINETIC ENERGY – The impact of Dry Ice particles removes contamination from the surface

2.THERMAL SHOCK-There is a rapid freeze and thaw of the both the particle and the surface which pops the contamination off.

3.RAPID EXPANSION -Dry Ice expands over 800 times when it hits the surface and sublimates removing contaminants on contact

We utilize the Cold Jet PCS60 and it’s one of the best dry ice cleaning machines in the world.  PCS stands for particle control system which allows us to remove the harshest under carriage grime to the ability to change settings and clean delicate interior alcantara.

FAQ Section

What is dry ice blasting, and how safe is it?

Dry ice blasting, also known as dry ice cleaning, is an environmentally friendly cleaning method that uses solid carbon dioxide (CO2) pellets. It is extremely safe for both the environment and the surfaces being cleaned. The process is non-toxic, non-abrasive, and does not produce secondary waste, making it safer than traditional cleaning methods that involve harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

What types of contaminants can dry ice blasting remove?

Dry ice blasting is highly effective at removing a wide range of contaminants, including grease, oil, dirt, soot, adhesive residues, and paint. It can also be used to clean away mold, mildew, and food residues. Due to its versatility, it is suitable for various applications across industries, from automotive restoration to food processing equipment maintenance.

How long does the dry ice blasting process take?

The duration of the cleaning process can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the area being cleaned, the type and level of contamination, and the complexity of the equipment or machinery. However, dry ice cleaning is generally faster than traditional cleaning methods because it requires no disassembly of parts and has a quicker cleanup time. For specific estimates, we recommend contacting us with details about your cleaning project.

Is dry ice blasting suitable for all types of surfaces?

Dry ice blasting is safe for use on most surfaces, including metal, plastic, rubber, and wood. Its non-abrasive nature ensures that delicate surfaces are not damaged during the cleaning process. However, it is always best to consult with our experts to determine if dry ice cleaning is the right solution for your specific application, especially for extremely delicate or sensitive materials.

Can dry ice blasting be used on electronic equipment?

Yes, dry ice cleaning can be safely used on electronic equipment. Since the process is moisture-free, it does not pose a risk of water damage to electrical components. This makes it an ideal cleaning solution for sensitive electronics and machinery.

What environmental regulations does dry ice cleaning comply with?

Dry ice cleaning complies with various environmental regulations due to its eco-friendly nature. It does not involve harmful chemicals or solvents, produces no secondary waste, and utilizes CO2 that is recycled from other industrial processes, thereby reducing the overall carbon footprint.

Do I need to prepare my facility or equipment before the cleaning process?

Minimal preparation is needed before the dry ice cleaning process. Our team will assess the site and provide specific instructions if any preparatory work is required, such as removing loose items or sensitive materials from the cleaning area. Our goal is to ensure a smooth and efficient cleaning process with minimal disruption to your operations.
