Dry Ice Blasting

Hydro-Klean has a sterling and well-earned reputation for consistently providing innovative solutions that meet our customers’ specific cleaning needs. A recent request by a local manufacturing client to clean grease and debris from paint booth processes without using water helped motivate HK to begin offering yet one more creative service: dry ice blasting.

Dry ice blasting is a cleaning process that uses solid CO₂ pellets, better known as dry ice. Compressed air accelerates the pellet particles to supersonic speeds at which point they can impact and clean a surface. The pellets sublimate, or convert directly from a solid blast pellet to a CO₂ vapor, leaving no residue or waste for cleanup or disposal.

Cost and Time Effective Benefits
The benefits of dry ice cleaning include:  

• decreased downtime through cleaning in place
• elimination of equipment damage
• elimination of solvents
• elimination of secondary waste

Applications
Dry ice blasting effectively fulfills cleaning needs for a wide variety of equipment and environments, such as: 

• man fans
• paint and spray booths

As our company name indicates, Hydro-Klean is proud of its water-based technologies. However, HK takes the most pride in its ability to identify the best cleaning processes for our clientele.
