Frequently asked questions

What is dry ice blasting?

Dry ice blasting, also known as dry ice cleaning, is an environmentally sustainable cleaning and surface preparation technology. Dry ice blasting uses recycled solid carbon dioxide (CO2) pellets or microparticles that are blasted at supersonic speeds and sublimate on impact, lifting dirt and contaminants from the substrate. Dry ice blasting is non-abrasive, non-conductive, non-toxic and non-flammable. It also contains no chemicals, no water and creates no secondary waste streams.

How do dry ice blasting machines work?

Dry ice blasters spray carbon dioxide pellets or microparticles at supersonic speeds using compressed air. These pellets/particles then sublime on impact and lift dirt and contaminants from the substrate.

What is dry ice blasting used for?

Dry ice blasting is a non-destructive solution for cleaning, surface preparation and finishing of parts. Dry ice blasting does not require water or cleaning chemicals and produces no secondary waste. Dry ice blasting (cleaning) can be used in industries such as aerospace and aviation, automotive, contract cleaning, food and beverage, plastics and composites, restoration, textile and more. Common applications in these industries include adhesive, coating and corrosion removal, composite tool cleaning, refurbishment, parts finishing and surface preparation. As you can see, dry ice blasting can be used for a wide range of applications.

What dry ice blasting equipment options do I have?

Irbisteh offers our top-notch dry ice blasting equipment, both new and used. As an OEM, you can rest assured that you are getting the best equipment and the customer service/support you deserve. Click here to learn more about our purchasing options.

Why should I choose dry ice blasting over another surface cleaning and preparation method?

Dry ice cleaning offers a non-toxic, environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional cleaning methods that does not create secondary waste during the cleaning process, does not require chemicals, and does not use valuable and expensive water during the cleaning process. It can also reduce time and labor costs compared to other methods.

Is dry ice blasting dangerous?

Since dry ice blasting involves the use of dry ice, there are certain safety precautions that should be taken to ensure the safety of all personnel. Some key safety precautions include: - Ensuring proper ventilation - Limiting exposure - Identifying and marking areas where CO2 may accumulate - Wearing and using proper PPE, such as gloves, goggles, and tongs. Dry ice blasting itself is not dangerous, but there are safety precautions that should always be taken. To learn more about CO2 and dry ice safety, click here.

How much does dry ice cleaning cost?

Dry ice blasting machine prices range from 650,000 rub to 2,000,000 rub. Talk to a sales representative today for a more customized quote.
