The blasting material? the dry ice pellet? are shot with compressed air at the surface to be treated at a high velocity.
The low temperature of the blasting material (-78.9 °C) makes the layer of soiling to be removed brittle, which makes it easy to remove it from the base without any residues.
The kinetic energy of the blasting material? like sand blasting? destroys the layer of soiling to be removed.
When it impacts the surface, the dry ice pellets evaporate without any residues, thus expanding their volume by 400. This completely strips even stubborn soiling in a gentle fashion.

How does dry ice blasting work?
Scale Back Your Downtimes
The dry ice blasting technique is gentle to surfaces while allowing efficient cleaning of a wide variety of components and machines with intricate and sensitive surfaces and without leaving cleanser residues. This means cleaning times and machine downtimes can be dramatically reduced.
Under certain circumstances, the jet of dry ice can even be used to degrease surfaces since dry ice, properly used, also has properties that are similar to solvents. Our applications technicians are faced with new challenges everyday so that they are constantly developing new ideas for industry. This means that we can efficiently and effectively apply the dry ice technique in practically every industrial sector.
