Dry ice blasting

How it works

A hopper feeds dry-ice pellets into a stream of compressed air. On impact the pellets fracture the film or residue and then vanish as CO₂ gas. There is no sand, soda, or water left on the floor. Adjacent equipment still needs protection from the blast and the noise; the difference is you are not shovelling spent media into bags at the end of the shift.

• Solid CO₂ pellets — non-conductive, food-adjacent when the plant spec allows
• Non-abrasive on most metals, tooling, and finished surfaces when pressure is set correctly
• No secondary waste: residue is what came off the part, not a pile of grit

Industrial applications

The list is long because the method is mobile and the waste story is short. Typical plant work from this office:

• Food processing — ovens, conveyors, and rooms that cannot take grit or pooled water
• Electrical rooms and cabinets — when the shutdown and lockout allow a dry method
• Printing presses and ink trains
• Robots, fixtures, and weld slag on cells that have to go back online
• Fire and soot after an incident — structure and equipment
• Mould and organic film on wood, masonry, and plant walls
• Preventive maintenance on lines you would rather not pull apart

Commercial vs industrial

Commercial work is often a kitchen, a print shop, or a restoration inside an occupied building — smaller footprints, more protection, tighter hours. Industrial work is a cell, a line, or a room in a plant: access, lockout, and the production calendar decide the day. The method is the same; the logistics are not. We will say which conversation you are in.

Downtime and mobility

The machine comes to the part. That is the point. We set up in a bay, blast in place, and leave the residue that came off the equipment — not a yard of spent abrasive. Shutdown windows are priced as windows, not as a hopeful Saturday. If the job is a house fire or a small commercial room, the same truck still shows up; the crew size changes.
