Dry Ice Blasting

Dry-Ice Blasting, a form of media blasting, involves propelling pellets of dry ice at extremely high-level speeds to surfaces in order to remove coatings. Instead of using hard abrasive media to grind on a surface (and damage it), dry ice blasting uses soft dry ice, accelerated at supersonic speeds, and creates mini-explosions on the surface to lift the undesirable item off the underlying substrate.

An alternative to sand blasting, Dry-Ice Blasting can be used to remove oil, grease, adhesives, ink, dirt, dust, rust, carbon, soot, pulp, paint, food particles, water lines, mold, and cellulose insulation. The use of Dry-Ice blasting has been cited as a service that has revolutionized the way companies are reclaiming equipment and structures in many industries.

Dry ice blasting has many unique and superior benefits over traditional blasting media.

• is a non-abrasive, nonflammable and nonconductive cleaning method
• is environmentally responsible and contains no secondary contaminants such as solvents or grit media
• is clean and approved for use in the food industry
• allows most items to be cleaned in place without time-consuming disassembly
• can be used without damaging active electrical or mechanical parts or creating fire hazards
• can be used to remove production residue, release agents, contaminants, paints, oils and biofilms
• 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 of Dry Ice Blasting:

• Ideal for Resurfacing and Recoating
• Clean And Environmentally-Friendly
• Nonflammable
• Non-Abrasive
• Nonconductive
• Removes lite coatings and rust
• Safe And Non-Toxic
• Reduced Downtime and Disassembly
