Dry Ice Blasting
What is Dry Ice Blasting?
Dry ice blasting is similar to sand blasting, plastic bead blasting, or soda blasting where a medium is accelerated in a pressurized air stream to impact a surface to be cleaned or prepared. But that's where the similarity ends. Instead of using hard abrasive media to grind on a surface (& damage it), dry ice blasting uses soft dry ice, accelerated at supersonic speeds, & creates mini-explosions on the surface to lift the undesirable item off the underlying substrate.
• Non-abrasive, nonflammable and nonconductive cleaning method
• Environmentally-friendly and contains no secondary contaminants such as solvents or grit media
• Clean and approved for use in the food industry
• Allows most items to be cleaned in place without time-consuming disassembly
Cold Jet dry ice blasting uses compressed air to accelerate frozen carbon dioxide (CO2) "dry ice" pellets to a high velocity. 
A compressed air supply of 80 PSI/50 scfm can be used in this process. Dry ice pellets can be made on-site or supplied. Pellets are made from food grade carbon dioxide that has been specifically approved by the FDA, the EPA and the USDA.
Carbon dioxide is a non-poisonous, liquefied gas, which is both inexpensive and easily stored at work sites.

Top 10 Reasons Dry Ice Blasting is Superior:
1. Superior clean: fewer cleaning cycles = less downtime.
2. Machines can be cleaned in place: dry ice blasting is a dry process & requires no disassemble/reassemlby = much less downtime.
3. Quicker clean: less resource = more runtime = more profits.
4. Non-abrasive, nonflammable & nonconductive: dry ice blasting won't damage most substrates & can be used safely on active electrical or mechanical parts without damage.
5. No secondary waste clean up: saves additional cleanup labor & expense & also means temporary containment areas can possibly be reused = cost savings.
6. Can get into tight spaces that many other methods can not.
7. Environmentally friendly: meets USDA, FDA & EPA guidelines.
8. Operator safety: no exposure to chemicals or grit media.
9. Operator efficiency: not as labor intensive as traditional cleaning methods.
10. Clean enough for the food industry, strong enough for everything else!
