Molds, tooling, robotic cells, presses, and production lines cleaned in-place — hot, dry, and without abrasive media, water, or teardown.
Manufacturing and automotive plants lose more money to downtime than to cleaning. Dry ice blasting accelerates solid CO₂ pellets onto the surface, where thermal shock and kinetic energy break the bond between the contaminant and the substrate. The pellets sublimate to gas on contact, so there is no media to vacuum out of slides, bearings, cavities, or floor drains.
That means molds can be cleaned hot and in the press, robotic weld cells can be cleaned without stripping fixtures, and painted or plated components can be de-greased without introducing moisture that leads to flash rust or electrical faults.
Yes. Dry ice is softer than tool steel and sublimates on impact, so it lifts release agent, resin, and gas residue without eroding vents, cavity texture, or critical dimensions when applied with correct pressure and nozzle selection.
No. Molds can typically be cleaned at operating temperature and in the press, which eliminates cool-down, pull, and reheat time from the changeover.
Dry ice blasting is dry and non-conductive, which makes it well suited to robotic cells, weld guns, servo motors, and enclosures when standard lockout, ventilation, and CO₂ monitoring procedures are followed.
In most cases yes. Cured overspray, e-coat, and powder buildup on carriers, hangers, racks, and fixtures respond well because the thermal shock breaks the bond between coating and substrate.
Because equipment is cleaned in-place without water or media cleanup, most plants see changeovers and PM windows shortened substantially compared with manual solvent scrubbing or teardown-and-bead-blast.
