Dry ice blasting, or cryogenic cleaning, is a revolutionary non-abrasive cleaning method that uses solid CO2 pellets accelerated by compressed air to clean machinery and surfaces without water, chemicals, or secondary waste. This process is exceptionally effective for complex industrial equipment like turbines, generators, and compressors in power generation and food processing plants.

The cleaning mechanism is threefold: kinetic energy from pellet impact, thermal shock from the extreme cold (-78.5°C), and sublimation where the dry ice turns directly into gas, lifting contaminants away. For food processing, this eliminates chemical residues and prevents bacterial growth, ensuring compliance with stringent hygiene standards. In power generation, it allows for online cleaning of turbines, significantly reducing downtime and avoiding the corrosion risks associated with water blasting. The process is non-conductive, making it safe for cleaning electrical components, and leaves no media residue, resulting in a completely dry, ready-to-use surface.

ICE Engineering specializes in applying this technology for heavy industry maintenance, offering a sustainable, efficient, and non-destructive cleaning solution that extends equipment life and optimizes operational performance.
