Dry ice blasting removes contaminants and coatings such as surface rust, dirt, and paint with a high-velocity stream of dry ice pellets. Dry ice cleaning, as this process is also known, is effectively media-less because dry ice, the solid form of carbon dioxide (CO2), sublimates. During dry ice sublimation, solid carbon dioxide turns directly into […]
Dry ice blasting, sand blasting, and abrasive ice blasting can all clean industrial facilities and equipment. Dry ice blasting uses compressed air to propel a high-velocity stream of dry ice pellets at a surface such as a wall, floor, or machine. Dry ice cleaning, as this process is also known, is effectively media-less because its […]
Peeling paint on the walls or floors of facilities is unsightly and can be dangerous. In facilities that process food, pharmaceuticals, or medical devices, peeling or flaking paint in production areas can lead to product contamination and recalls. A good example is from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which recently shut-down a Baltimore, […]
Dry ice blasting is a safe, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly way to clean machinery and equipment. A form of industrial cleaning, it removes sludge, paint, surface rust, oil, mold growth, soot, and other contaminants from machines. CO2 blasting, as dry ice blasting is also known, uses compressed air to accelerate a stream of frozen carbon dioxide […]
