CO2 (Dry Ice) Blasting
-  The rising star in commercial, industrial, institutional and residential cleaning applications

Dry ice blasting is similar to sand blasting, plastic bead blasting, or soda blasting where a medium is accelerated in a pressurized air stream to impact a surface to be cleaned or prepared.  But that is where the similarity ends.

Instead of using hard abrasive media to grind a surface (and damage it), dry ice blasting uses soft dry ice, accelerated at supersonic speeds, and creates mini-explosions on the surface to lift the undesirable item off the underlying substrate.  

Dry ice blasting has many unique and superior benefits over traditional blasting media.

Dry ice blasting:

• is a non-abrasive, nonflammable and non conductivecleaning method
  
• is clean and approved for use in the food industry
• allows most items to be cleaned without time-consuming disassembly
• can be used without damaging active electrical or mechanical parts or creating fire hazards
• can be used to remove production residues, release agents, contaminants, paints, oils and biofilms
• can be as gentle as dusting smoke damage from books or as aggressive as removing weld slag from tooling
• can be used for many general cleaning applications
  
  
  
  

Dry ice blasting uses compressed air to accelerate frozen carbon dioxide (CO2) “dry ice” pellets to a high velocity.  Carbon Dioxide is a non-poisonous, liquefied gas, which is both inexpensive and easily stored at work sites.

A compressed air supply of 80 PSI-50 scfm can be used in this process.  Pellets are made from food grade carbon dioxide that has been specifically approved by the FDA, the EPA and the USDA.
