Dry Ice Blasting, also known as CO2 Blasting, is a non-invasive method of cleaning. Dry Ice Blasting is an efficient and cost-effective way for industries to maximise production capability and quality.

Much similar to sand blasting, plastic bead blasting, or soda blasting, in Dry Ice Blasting, a solid media is accelerated under high-pressure air stream and made to hit the surface with a velocity causing the extra layer of dirt to fall off with the extra force.

Dry Ice Blasting is a shortened precision based cleaning procedure which leaves no residue except for the material to be disposed of. Upon hitting the surface, due to the heat present on the surface of the body, the ice evaporates, leaving no residue to be separately cleaned. CO2 is a non-poisonous gas which is both, inexpensive and easy to store in the worksite. Paint, oil, grease, asphalt, tar, decals, soot, dirt, ink, resins, and adhesives are some of the materials removed by this procedure.

Dry Ice Blasting has several benefits over other cleaning methods:

• Pellets are FDA, EPA, and USDA approved. 
• It is a non-flammable, non-abrasive and non-conductive cleaning method. 
• No secondary contaminants/solvents/grit media. 
• Environmentally friendly & safe as the ice sublimes into the atmosphere. 
• No harmful solvents – increases employee safety and longevity of equipment. 
• Faster & more productive than manual cleaning. 
• Allows cleaning in place without disassembly. 
• Reduced labour & other extra costs. 
• Can be as gentle as dusting smoke damage from books or as aggressive as removing weld slag from tooling.

Dry ice is a CO2 gas by-product. It is non-toxic and eco-friendly. It is a recycled material and has wide application. Dry ice cleaning has numerous benefits, some of which are listed below.

Less after cleaning

When it comes to dry ice cleaning, there's very less after cleaning to do, unlike most other methods. It leaves no residue or waste behind as dry ice gets quickly converted into a gaseous form.

A thorough and quick cleaning method

Dry ice blasting is not only an effective technique but also efficient as it does a thorough cleaning in a short duration. It helps to save time as well as reduce labour cost. This method also helps to clean areas that are not easily reachable.

Multi area usage

Dry ice is used as a disinfectant when it comes to getting rid of fungus and bacteria. It can also be used in food processing areas to decontaminate equipment from food poisoning bacteria.

Cleaning delicate surfaces

In cases of fragile surfaces where using harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbing can do substantial damage, dry ice cleaning is an excellent choice.

Avoids fire hazards

Dry ice is non-flammable and non-conductive in nature. Hence, it is safe to use for cleaning electronics and electricals without the worry of causing a hazard.

Eliminates equipment damage

Dry ice blasting does not reduce the life of your machinery as it is non-abrasive to surfaces. It also reduces the risks associated with moving or disassembling equipment while cleaning.

Reduces downtime

With this process, equipment can be cleaned in place without the hassle of transporting it to a separate cleaning facility.

Ensures a high safety level

The non-toxic pellets used are approved by the relevant authorities and are safe to the environment, your employees, and production facility.

Insight into Dry Ice blasting

Cleanliness is next to Godliness, but maintaining cleanliness in any industry can be difficult to manage since maintenance of equipment is important to avoid accidents from happening. Dry ice blasting is one such process that helps you to remove various materials like ink, dirt, oil, paint, etc. The removed material must be dealt with in a right and systematic manner.

Dry ice blasting is also referred to as CO₂ blasting. It is done by shooting small rice size pellets of dry ice out of a jet nozzle with compressed air, against the material to be removed, causing it to shrink and fade away from the surface.

It’s generally preferred procedure when it comes to industrial clean-up, as there are multiple benefits by using dry ice blasting in the industry equipment clean up. Some of the benefits are as follows:

Consumes less time – as mentioned, dry ice blasting is no layman task but done by professionals, it is time efficient when it comes to downtime cleaning and labor intensity.

No secondary waste – while cleaning, no secondary waste gets released, which may be toxic to human health. In comparison to traditional procedures, dry ice blasting is a cleaner and safer way as a cleaning solution.

Reduced cost – dry ice blasting is a process that reduces labor, waste disposal and equipment clean-up cost, which ultimately results in eliminating all the negative elements associated with it.
