Dry Ice Blasters Co2 Dry Ice Blasting Dry Ice Cleaning Machines

A dry ice blaster uses solid CO2 pellets or granules accelerated with compressed air to remove contaminants from surfaces. The dry ice sublimates on impact, lifting soils, coatings, grease and residues without leaving liquid waste.

Key benefits: no liquid residue (dry ice sublimates), no chemical cleaners required, minimal secondary waste, low environmental pollution, energy efficiency, lower noise compared with some abrasive methods, and suitability for sensitive equipment or confined spaces.

Typical applications include mold and tooling cleaning (e.g., motorcycle seat molds), heavy oil and grease removal from metal, hydrogenated petroleum resin cleaning, printing press ink removal, motor winding dust cleaning, substation and boiler cleaning, oil sludge and rust stain removal, and lithium battery blue-film cleaning.

There are multiple models (for example P7, XA625 and iT6) with different power, air consumption, ice delivery rates and hopper capacities. Choose based on the surface size, soil type, required removal speed and compressor capability. Contact an engineer with your application for a recommended model and cost-effective configuration.

Typical ranges from the available models: power from <500 W up to 0.75 kW; adjustable air consumption roughly 0.8–8 m3/min (variable by model); ice delivery speeds from ~0–0.75 kg/min up to ~0–2.5 kg/min; hopper capacities about 10–15 kg. Protection ratings are IP52–IP54 and weights are in the 55–65 kg range. Contact us for exact spec sheets for each model.

Machines typically use 2.5–3 mm granular dry ice. Some models also accept small block sizes (e.g., 120×120×250 mm or 150×150×300 mm) depending on hopper configuration. Use recommended dry ice type for consistent feed and performance.

No liquid waste is produced by the CO2 itself because dry ice sublimates to gas. Removed contaminants (loosened paint, oil, residues) will still require normal disposal methods — e.g., vacuuming and proper disposal according to local regulations — but there is no secondary chemical wastewater from the blasting agent.

Essential precautions: ensure adequate ventilation to avoid CO2 buildup (asphyxiation risk), wear cryogenic gloves and eye/face protection, hearing protection as needed, respiratory protection if dust or hazardous residues are present, train operators on safe handling of dry ice and pressurized lines, and avoid use in enclosed, unventilated spaces without monitoring.

A reliable compressed air source sized to the machine's air consumption is required. Depending on model this may range roughly from 0.8 to 8 m3/min. Use a compressor that can deliver required flow at the recommended pressure, and include proper filtration, dryers and moisture separators to protect the machine.

Yes — because it is non-abrasive in many settings, dry ice blasting is often safe for sensitive surfaces and electrical equipment. However, compatibility depends on surface hardness, coatings and assembly condition. Always power down and protect electronics, and perform a small test area before full-scale cleaning.

Routine tasks include checking and replacing wear parts (nozzles, seals, valves), cleaning the hopper and feed system, maintaining compressed-air filters and dryers, inspecting hoses and fittings, and scheduled service per the operator manual to ensure reliable performance.

Dry ice blasters typically operate at lower noise levels than many abrasive methods, but noise varies with model, pressure and environment. Hearing protection is recommended during operation, especially in enclosed areas or for extended use.

Yes. All models can be customized to drawings and specific needs — e.g., different hoppers, feed systems, nozzle types or electrical configurations. Contact our engineering team to discuss custom solutions.

Main operating costs are dry ice consumables, compressed-air energy, and routine maintenance. ROI depends on cleaning frequency, downtime savings (faster cleaning, less disassembly), and reduced disposal/chemical costs. We can provide a tailored cost and ROI estimate based on your application.

Yes. We provide operator training, manuals, spare parts and technical support. Warranty terms and support packages vary by model and region — contact sales for details and to arrange training or a service plan.
