Dry Ice Blasting Systems for Faster, Cleaner Work
Remove heavy contamination without water, harsh cleaning chemicals or secondary blasting media.
Non-abrasive
Dry process
No secondary blasting media
What Is Dry Ice Blasting?
Dry Ice Blasting is a non-abrasive cleaning process that uses solid CO2 pellets accelerated by compressed air.
When the pellets contact the surface, contamination is released through a combination of kinetic impact and thermal shock.
The dry ice then sublimates, turning directly from a solid into a gas. This means there is no spent blasting media left behind—only the removed contamination to collect.
The result is a dry, controlled process suitable for sensitive components, industrial equipment and many in-situ cleaning applications.
Kinetic Impact
Accelerated pellets strike the contamination and begin breaking its bond with the surface.
Thermal Shock
The temperature difference helps contaminants release from the underlying material.
Sublimation
The dry ice converts directly into gas, leaving no secondary blasting media to clean up.

Why Professionals Choose Dry Ice Blasting
Operators adopt Dry Ice Blasting when traditional cleaning methods start creating more problems than they solve.
Protect Sensitive Surfaces
Non-abrasive cleaning helps protect components and the underlying material.
Faster Turnaround
Reduce time spent on labour-intensive manual and wet cleaning methods.
Reduced Downtime
Clean many components in situ and reduce unnecessary dismantling.
Minimal Secondary Waste
The dry ice disappears on contact, leaving no spent blasting media behind.
No Water or Harsh Chemicals
A dry process that avoids water saturation and harsh cleaning chemicals.

What Dry Ice Blasting Replaces
Dry Ice Blasting is often adopted when conventional cleaning methods create too much mess, risk or operational downtime.
Traditional Chemical Cleaning
Labour-Intensive Methods
- × Pressure washing
- × Chemical cleaning
- × Manual scraping and brushing
- × Abrasive blasting methods
These approaches can increase surface risk, create additional mess and extend operational downtime.
Clean the Contamination Without Adding Another Cleanup Job
Dry Ice Blasting provides a controlled alternative when the trade-offs associated with traditional methods are no longer acceptable.
Request System PricingHow Dry Ice Blasting Works
Four stages combine to remove contamination without leaving spent blasting media behind.
-
01Acceleration
Pellets Enter the Airflow
Solid dry ice pellets are accelerated towards the surface using compressed air.
-
02Impact
Pellets Contact the Surface
The accelerated pellets strike the contaminated surface with controlled kinetic energy.
-
03Release
Contamination Breaks Away
Thermal shock helps weaken the bond between the contamination and the underlying material.
-
04Sublimation
Dry Ice Turns to Gas
The dry ice sublimates, leaving only the removed contamination to be collected.
The result is effective, controlled cleaning with minimal secondary disruption.
