Improve Cleaning Speed and Impact with Dry Ice Blasting
Dry ice blasting is a cleaning process that uses dry ice pellets, the solid form of carbon dioxide (CO2), accelerated at supersonic speeds, sublimating upon impact and lifting surface contaminants from substrates. The temperature difference of the dry ice and substrate create a mini thermal explosion, the extreme cold causes shrinkage breaking the adhesion to the substrate and the rapid gas expansion of the dry ice all work in tandem to provide a superior clean. This unique combination of forces powerfully lift surface contaminants without causing damage or creating harmful secondary waste. For example, in the food and beverage industry, dry ice blasting can be used as an effective method for killing salmonella, E. coli, listeria and other types of bacteria.
Some of the benefits of using dry ice blasting as a method for cleaning equipment and surfaces include:
- Non-abrasive cleaning properties
- Dry clean with no water and no moisture
- Precision cleaning capabilities
- No secondary waste from the media
- No chemical residues
- Environmentally sustainable
