What Is a Dry Ice Blasting Machine?
A dry ice blasting machine is a specialized cleaning device that uses dry ice pellets to remove dirt, rust, paint, and other contaminants from surfaces.
Dry ice, solidified at a frigid -78.5°C, sublimates rapidly upon contact with surfaces, enabling effective cleaning without abrasion. The machine primarily consists of three components: a dry ice generator to produce dry ice, a compressed air compressor to supply the necessary air pressure, and a blast gun to eject the dry ice onto the target surface.
Common applications for dry ice blasting machines include surface preparation before painting, cleaning molds and parts in manufacturing, maintaining equipment and machinery, washing automotive bodies, and cleaning building exteriors. This technology offers an efficient, non-abrasive method of cleaning across various industries.
