Dry ice blasting is a powerful yet gentle cleaning method for all kind of surfaces applied in many industries.

This cleaning method has the advantage of not damaging the surfaces, being dry and environmentally friendly and causing no secondary waste.

This dry ice snow (approx. -79°C) is pressed through an extruder plate to make small pellets with a diameter of 3mm. These pellets are fed into the dry ice blasting unit and conveyed by compressed air to the blasting gun, from where they are shot at a speed of up to 300m/s onto the surface to be cleaned.
