Dry ice (CO2) cleaning is an efficient and cost-effective way for industries to maximise production capability and quality. Dry ice cleaning uses recycled CO2 in the form of solid dry ice particles that are transported by high-velocity airflow to remove contaminates from surfaces.
When accelerated at supersonic speeds through high velocity nozzles, dry ice creates mini-explosions on the surface to lift the undesirable item off the underlying substrate. The combination of the kinetic and thermal shock effects breaks the bond between the residue and the surface.
The dry ice particles sublimate – or transform from a solid back into a gas – upon impact, leaving no other cleaning by-product behind and eliminating the added cost and inconvenience of secondary waste treatment and disposal.
