Dry Ice Blasting
Industrial Ventilation and Industrial Exhaust Systems
The dry ice blasting method helps clean contamination from industrial ventilation and industrial exhaust systems without the need to dismantle the duct system, at minimum production downtime.
Dry ice is non-toxic, non-flammable, sublimes after contact with contamination and leaves no residue in your system. Dry ice is a non-abrasive cleaning method, so the cleaned surface suffers no harm due to lack of use of chemicals or abrasives.
Pipeline Maintenance
The dry ice blasting method is used to remove a wide range of residues, release agents, contaminants, paints, oil, rubber or films. It is a safe and non-abrasive cleaning method ideal for pipeline maintenance where the pipeline’s inner surface damage could cause an environmental disaster, e.g. in the chemical or petroleum industry.
How It Works
Dry ice blasting uses compressed air to accelerate frozen carbon dioxide (CO2) pellets to a high velocity. A compressed air supply of up to 16 Bar (80 PSI/50 scfm) can be used in this process.
Dry ice pellets can be made on-site or supplied.
Carbon dioxide in all its states is non-poisonous. Dry ice is recycled carbon dioxide, which is both inexpensive and can be easily stored at work sites.
Instead of using hard abrasive media to impact and damage a surface, the dry ice blasting method uses dry ice pellets, accelerated to a high velocity, which then collide with the target surface.
Harnessing the power of the kinetic energy and rapid change of state causes a so called “thermal shock”, propelling the undesirable contamination off the underlying target surface.

Benefits of Dry Ice Blasting
A non-abrasive, non-flammable non-conductive and non-toxic cleaning method.
Can clean most items in place without time-consuming dis-assembly.
May be used to remove non-resistant residues and contaminants without oily or sticky films.
Can be used for a multitude of general and specialized applications throughout domestic and commercial cleaning sectors.
Is environmentally friendly with no secondary contaminants such as solvents or grit media.
Can be used without damaging active electrical or mechanical parts or creating fire hazards.
May be used gently (lifting smoke damage from the book pages), or aggressively (removing weld slag from tooling).

Compressed Air Blasting
Industrial ventilation and industrial exhaust systems
The compressed air cleaning method helps clean contamination from industrial ventilation and industrial exhaust systems without the need to dismantle the duct system and at minimum production downtime.
This method is practically identical to dry ice blasting, but without the dry ice. The efficiency of this method depends on the extent of contamination in ducts.
How It Works
Compressed Air uses nozzles to concentrate a directed flow of moisture-free air to effectively remove dust or other fine debris from the surfaces.
Compressed Air reduces the danger of damaging the surface during cleaning by preventing the need for physical contact and because it is a non-abrasive cleaning method.
