Dry ice blast cleaning is a fast, powerful and cost effective way of removing contamination, grime or unwanted coatings on equipment, buildings and surfaces that need a clean, dry and abrasion free finish, all with no secondary waste.
Compared to the laser process, higher area outputs can generally be achieved with dry ice cleaning.
Dry ice is non-electrically conductive, chemically inert, non-toxic and non-flammable. In contrast to other abrasives, dry ice is residue free because it changes directly from a solid to a gaseous state at ambient pressure without liquefaction, it sublimates.
Another advantage of this minimally abrasive and non-corrosive process is the low damage to the material to be cleaned.
Depending on the working pressure, nozzle geometry and the type of contamination, removal rates of over one square meter per minute are possible. With this innovative process, coatings and impurities with a thickness of between 1 mm and 10 mm can be removed in a surface friendly manner.
The handling of the dry ice process is unproblematic and does not place any special demands on the environment. Due to the high working pressure when cleaning with dry ice, there is a higher noise level than with the laser process. If the dry ice process is integrated into ongoing production, for example through automation, we provide the appropriate noise insulation.

The advantages:
• No residues of the blasting material
• Low running costs
• Gentle cleaning
• Achievement of high area outputs possible
• No chemical additives necessary
• Electrically non-conductive
• chemically inert
• nontoxic
• non-flammable
How does cleaning with dry ice work?
The surface-friendly dry ice blasting process enables efficient cleaning of a wide variety of components and machines with complicated and sensitive surfaces without residues of cleaning agents. This can reduce processing times and plant downtimes.
Under certain conditions, dry ice blasting is also suitable for degreasing surfaces, as dry ice has solvent-like properties when used appropriately.
For cleaning, the dry ice particles are accelerated and hit the material to be cleaned at the speed of sound. As a result, the layer to be removed is locally supercooled and embrittled. Subsequent dry ice particles penetrate the brittle and sublimate abruptly upon impact. The carbon dioxide becomes gaseous and increases its volume by about 700 to 1.000 times. In the process, it blasts the dirt off the surface.
VeDa Dry Ice is offering in collaboration with its partners dry ice blast cleaning services, all delivered nationwide.
