DRY ICE BLASTING
Eco-friendly and safe surface cleaning with zero environmental impact.
It uses dry ice to remove dirt, grease, and contaminants without abrasion or moisture, making it ideal for delicate or complex surfaces.
Dry ice blasting
(also known as cryogenic blasting)
Cryogenic blasting is a fast and highly eco-friendly alternative to traditional industrial cleaning methods. Dry ice blasting is an innovative process that uses dry ice (solid CO₂) as the cleaning agent, eliminating dust and abrasive residue typically associated with conventional sandblasting and hydro-blasting.
The process involves the use of specific abrasives — such as olivine sand, quartz, sodium bicarbonate, glass beads, Australian garnet, corn cob grit, and other materials — which are forcefully projected onto metal, stone, concrete, wood, and other surfaces, working in a targeted and effective manner.
- Goals of cryogenic or dry ice blasting
Removal of the outermost surface layer of a material
Preparation of the surface for subsequent painting or application of a protective treatment
Complete elimination of dust and abrasive residue during the cleaning process
Reduction of traditional sandblasting time
Manufacturing industry
Aerospace sector
Food industry
When and why to use cryogenic blasting?
Cryogenic blasting is especially suitable for industrial environments, the food industry, and production facilities where effective cleaning is required without contamination, residual moisture, or surface abrasion.
This treatment is ideal for both maintenance work and routine cleaning operations, as it allows cleaning without dismantling equipment or machinery, significantly reducing production downtime.
Typical applications:
Removal of dirt and oily residues from electric motors, generators, and electrical panels
Cleaning of turbines and mechanical components without disassembly
Deep sanitisation and cleaning of food industry equipment, including:
Elimination of dust and adhesive from packaging machines
Removal of carbonised residues from baking ovens
