WHAT IS DRY ICE BLASTING?

Dry ice blasting is used across the globe as a solution for surface cleaning, surface preparation and parts finishing in a wide range of industries. It is a preferred method because it is non-abrasive, non-conductive, non-toxic and does not create secondary waste.

Dry ice blasting, or dry ice cleaning, is similar to sand, bead and soda blasting in that it prepares and cleans surfaces using a medium accelerated in a pressurized air stream.  It differs in that dry ice cleaning uses solid carbon dioxide (CO2) pellets or MicroParticles, accelerated at high velocities to impinge on the surface and clean it.  The particles sublimate upon impact, lifting dirt and contaminants off the underlying substrate without damage. The dry ice blasting process has unique characteristics that differentiate it from other cleaning methods and other media blasting methods. The dry ice cleaning method is:

• Non-abrasive

• Non-conductive

• Non-flammable

• Non-toxic

• Environmentally responsible

The dry ice blasting process does not create secondary waste.  The dry ice sublimates, or phase transitions from solid CO2 to gaseous CO2, when it impacts the surface being cleaned.  This eliminates the secondary waste stream that is created with other media blasting techniques.  The only remaining waste products are the dislodged contaminants, which can be vacuumed or swept away.

 

Dry ice blasting was originally developed to remove paint and coating from airplanes in the 1970’s.

HOW DOES DRY ICE BLASTING WORK?

Dry ice blasting is an innovative cleaning technology that uses solid CO2 (carbon dioxide) pellets. These pellets are propelled at high speeds to clean surfaces. Unlike traditional cleaning methods, this process does not involve water or abrasive materials, making it incredibly safe and effective for delicate areas like engine bays, undercarriages, and even interiors.

How dry ice blasting works

WHAT CAN DRY ICE BLASTING BE USED ON?

It is used to clean many types of surfaces in a multitude of commercial and manufacturing settings. Surfaces of tooling, machinery and finished parts can all be cleaned with dry ice.

 

Dry ice cleaning has a wide range on the aggression spectrum (from very aggressive to delicate cleaning). The compressed air pressure, dry ice particle size and dry ice feed rate can be adjusted and dialed down to clean very delicate and sensitive surfaces, such as soft alloys, electrical wires and sensors. It can also be dialed up to clean heavy and stubborn contaminants, such as asphalt, corrosion and weld slag.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF DRY ICE BLASTING?

1) Reduced costs Dry ice cleaning reduces labor costs because it can be done quickly by one person and in significantly less time than conventional manual labor. This enables a cleaner clean, even in situations that are difficult or unpopular to clean by hand or with other conventional methods. In some instances, cleaning time will be measured in minutes instead of hours.

 

2) Improved productivity Dry ice blasting does not require water or create secondary waste, which allows equipment to be cleaned while hot and online. This eliminates the need to perform timely equipment disassembly and helps to reduce shut down times. By cleaning equipment in less time, facilities are able to get more production cycles from existing equipment. Preventive maintenance or spot cleaning can also be done more frequently without impacting production. This increases tool uptime, which extends production runs and reduces downtime associated with cleaning.

3) Prolonged equipment life Dry ice cleaning is a dry process that is non-abrasive and non-conductive; meaning it won't damage equipment and is safe for most surfaces, including electrical components. Other cleaning methods, such as manual scraping or scrubbing with chemical solvents, are abrasive and corrosive and can damage the equipment or wear it down. By extending the life of key assets, dry ice blasting can save significant amounts of money.

 

4) Improved worker safety Dry ice cleaning eliminates exposure to toxic cleaning materials. The process also eliminates repetitive motions of hand cleaning, scrubbing, chiseling or activities that require pounding, sanding or scraping.

 

5) Enhanced sustainability efforts When using solid grit media or water for cleaning hazardous materials, the cleaning media also becomes hazardous, requiring special handling, disposal and regulatory reporting. The resulting waste can also create downstream contamination that affects surrounding installations. Dry ice does not create waste stream additions.
