Dry Ice Cleaning Technology

The Technology: An Overview
Coventional methods for removing paint, dirt, grease and similar depositions on surfaces are time-consuming and labor-intensive. They lead to long and expensive downtimes in the working process. Dry Ice technology represents one of the major innnovations in the sector of industrial cleaning.

Benefits of Dry Ice Cleaning:

  • No disposal requirements
  • Dry ice sublimates instantly upon impact to gas Environmentally friendly
  • This process is done without any chemical additives. Only the removed deposits need to be disposed Gentle cleaning process
  • Safe for precision machine tolerances. The pellets do not cause damage to the surface Production increase due to no downtime
  • Many parts of the machine can be cleaned without the need to dismantle the machine Speed
  • Very mobile and quick to be used Multipurpose
  • Numerous nozzles ensure that the cleaning in difficult to reach areas is effective

The Main Advantage
On impact the pellets vaporize without generating any secondary waste. CO will not become water! The only thing remaining is the removed dirt. Waste is reduced considerably and time is saved. The common cleaning methods have serious disadvantages! The extensive disposal requirements as well as the lost time for dismanteling the fragile parts and last but not least the increasing damage of the processed machines emphasize the importance of modern cleaning processes.

Proven Applications
With the Dry Ice Process you can remove without damaging the substrate surface depositions such as: glue, oils, grease, bituminous materials, adhesives, layers of corosionm waxm printering, ink, silicones, PU layers, weld slag, food residue, encrustations, carbon build up, graffiti...

Fields of Application

  • Automobile Industry (paint shop, welding line)
  • Chemical Industry (couldrons)
  • Pharmaceutical Industry (cauldrons)
  • Rubber Processing Industry (moulds)
  • Plastic Processing Industry (moulds)
  • Aviation Industry (turbines)
  • Shipbuilding Industry
  • Food Industry
  • Fire Damage and Building Restoration (graffiti and soot removal)

What is Dry Ice?
Dry ice is CO2 in compressed form. CO2 is an odorless, natural and non-toxic gas. In the beverage industry for instance it is added to beer, soft drinks and mineral water.
