Dry ice blasting cleaning can remove suitable deposits from industrial equipment where adding water would create problems. We assess the deposit and trial the surface before wider treatment. The absence of wet blasting media is useful, but it does not remove the need for equipment isolation or waste collection.
Dry Ice Blasting Cleaning
Dry ice blasting cleaning for suitable industrial deposits, with surface trials, carbon dioxide controls and collection of removed dirt.

Surface response and carbon dioxide
The pellets change from solid carbon dioxide to gas after impact.
Ventilation and separation
Carbon dioxide, noise and flying deposits are controlled for the actual workspace.
Surface response and carbon dioxide
The pellets change from solid carbon dioxide to gas after impact. This avoids spent grit, but the detached coating or dirt still needs collecting. Rapid cooling and impact can affect delicate finishes. Carbon dioxide also needs controlling in enclosed areas, so ventilation and any atmosphere monitoring are assessed for the actual workspace.

Isolation, ventilation and containment
We establish which surfaces can remain assembled and which need maintenance access. Sensitive components are protected, and the cleaning area is separated from people affected by noise or flying deposits. Equipment settings are adjusted to the trial result. Collected contamination is handled according to what has been removed.
Cleaning result and restart checks
We inspect the cleaned surface for retained deposits and any change in finish. Dry ice cleaning is not automatically suitable for every electrical assembly or production process. Restart follows the agreed maintenance or hygiene checks, with any inaccessible areas explained before the equipment is returned to use.
The trial also shows how much detached material is released, which informs containment and collection around the work area.
Dry Ice Blasting Cleaning: common questions
Does dry ice blasting leave no waste?
Detached dirt remains waste even though the dry ice itself turns to gas.
Can it be used in an enclosed room?
Only after ventilation and carbon dioxide risks have been assessed and controlled.
Is it safe on every machine component?
No. Components and coatings need checking against the method and manufacturer guidance.
Is a trial worthwhile?
Yes. It establishes how the actual deposit and surface respond before wider cleaning.
Can equipment stay powered?
The method does not remove the need for suitable isolation around electrical or mechanical hazards.
