-
No secondary waste
Dry ice sublimates (turns from solid back to gas) upon contact with a surface, leaving no secondary waste stream that must be contained, collected, and disposed. This minimizes containment setup and eliminates the timely and costly task of waste collection and disposal.
-
Dry process without chemicals
Dry ice blasting is a dry process that does not use water, detergents, or solvents, as the cleaning medium is dry ice only.
-
Shorter and more effective cleaning
Traditional cleaning methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive. Dry ice cleaning is fast and efficient, minimizing downtime while maximizing machine usage and employee time.
-
Safe for equipment
Dry ice cleaning is non-abrasive. It does not damage the surfaces being cleaned.
-
Environmentally friendly
Dry ice is non-toxic and safe for operators and the environment. Dry ice cleaning eliminates the need for water and chemicals from the cleaning process and does not generate a secondary waste stream.
-
Versatility of applications
Dry ice cleaning is used in a wide range of industries, from the food industry to the automotive industry to historic restoration. This makes it a versatile method that contract cleaners can adapt to the needs of different sectors.
Food-Safe Cleaning for Contract Cleaners: Dry Ice Blasting for Superior Hygiene
Cleaning without water or chemicals with minimal disassembly and masking
Contract cleaners in the food industry must remove difficult contaminants, such as grease, protein deposits, carbonized residue, and adhesives and labels, while meeting strict hygiene standards. Traditional cleaning methods are time-consuming, require the use of water or chemicals, and require disassembly and masking of equipment.
Dry ice blasters offer an effective, dry, environmentally friendly, and non-destructive cleaning method that can be performed in-place, which eliminates or reduces costly shutdown time for cleaning. Hard to reach corners and crevices, electrical equipment, and delicate surfaces that cannot tolerate moisture are easily cleaned with a dry ice cleaning machine.

What do contract cleaners need for dry ice blasting?
If you are planning to start a dry ice cleaning service business, you will need to invest in several items in addition to a dry ice blaster. Below is a list of the key items you will need to effectively start or expand your business.
-
Industrial dry ice blasting equipment for cleaning contractors
The foundation of effective dry ice cleaning services is an efficient and easy-to-use machine. Cold Jet has a variety of dry ice blasting cleaning machine models to choose from – from compact mobile units to more advanced machines for industrial use. The systems will come complete with a blast and air hose, an applicator, and a nozzle that is best suited for your application.
-
Air compressor
Compressed air can be supplied from an existing stationary installation or from a separate mobile compressor. The mobile compressor provides the constant and sufficient air flow required for the effective operation of the dry ice blaster. Dry ice cleaning machines using pellets typically consume 100 cfm (2.8 m3/min) at 80 psi (5.5 bar).
-
Access to dry ice
A supply of dry ice is essential to ensure continuous service and adequate cleaning performance. On average, machines use about 88 lbs. of dry ice per hour.
-
After cooler
An after cooler may be useful if you are using a portable diesel compressor as your air source. An after cooler removes most of the moisture from the system and can cool the air within 15°F (-9.4°C) of the surrounding air. This is primarily dependent on humidity levels.
-
Machine and operator training
Cold Jet offers a training course that will prepare you to work with the machine. It covers the basics of how to operate the machine, effective cleaning techniques, and safety guidelines.
-
Personal protective equipment (PPE)
When providing dry ice blasting services, make sure you are properly equipped with personal protective equipment (PPE), which includes gloves, safety glasses or visor, and hearing protection.

Dry ice blasting has made a significant impact on our entire robot refurbishing process. Cold Jet’s dry ice blast cleaning process allows us to clean effectively without damaging any of the robots’ components. It is much faster than the tedious and time-consuming solvent alternative and saves us time on the initial cleaning of the robots.
While the architect had first asked for soda blasting, we knew it would cost twice as much. With dry ice cleaning, there is no secondary waste and no extra setup to contain any contaminants. In addition, with the historic details on this monument, we felt that dry ice cleaning would be the right answer.
The project was on schedule and incredibly fast. We saved at least three to four days when compared with sand or corn blasting and two days of sanding time. The log home looks brand new – it came out 110%.
A huge advantage with dry ice cleaning is that it doesn’t add moisture to the wood components, which is what is facilitating the mold growth in the first place. Plus, the dry ice blasting better prepares the surface for later application of the mold resistant coating.
I like the dry ice cleaning process and the Cold Jet machine couldn’t be any more user-friendly. It’s fast and effective and saves a lot of time on the cleanup. I would absolutely use it again.
