What is Dry Ice Blasting?

Dry ice blasting is a revolutionary blasting method that uses small, compact dry ice pellets as the blasting material. The dry ice pellets are accelerated in a jet of compressed air similar to that used in traditional blasting methods.

WHO CAN USE DRY ICE
BLASTING?

LOWER COSTS

Reduced Downtime

A machine can often be cleaned by dry ice blasting while in operation, thus eliminating the need for dismantling and subsequent re-assembly. This is ofconsiderable economic importance as ...

TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES

Dry ice blasting systems have extremely high cleaning speeds, and even normally inaccessible parts can be rapidly cleaned using the wide range of nozzles available. Blasting material residues do not become trapped in every nook and cranny...

THE ENVIRONMENT

Dry ice is completely non-toxic. As no hazardous chemicals or solvents are used in dry ice blasting, operators avoid being exposed to hazardous fumes and other dangers during cleaning. In contrast to high-pressure hosing, polluted drain water is avoided.

HOW IS DRY ICE MADE?

It is manufactured by compressing and cooling gaseous CO2 under high pressure to initially produce liquid CO2. The liquid is then allowed to expand under a reduced pressure to produce CO2 snow, and finally the snow is compressed by a hydraulic press into convenient...
