Dry Ice Blasting

Professional Dry Ice Blasting Services in New Zealand

Dry ice blasting is the primary and specialized service of EcoBlast, which is aimed at those industries in need of cleaning without damaging the surface and surface moisture or residual chemicals. This is a modern form of blasting heroin where solid CO₂ and dry ice pellets are used to carry out the cleaning process efficiently and safely.

Dry ice evaporates when it comes into contact; that is, it simply becomes gas and does not leave any other garbage behind.

What Is Dry Ice Blasting?

Dry ice blasting is a cleaning process that is non-abrasive and involves the use of compressed air to shoot dry ice pellets on a surface. This cleaning action is a result of a combination of kinetic impact, thermal shock, and sublimation.

In this process, the contaminants are eliminated without grinding, scratching, or soaking the surface at the base.

Where Dry Ice Blasting Is Used

Dry ice blasting can be used in a very broad variety of industrial and commercial applications, such as

Industrial machinery and equipment cleaning
Electrical panels, motors, and switchgear
Food processing and packaging equipment
Mold remediation
Fire and smoke damage restoration
Production lines and manufacturing facilities
Sensitive mechanical and electronic components

Why Choose Dry Ice Blasting Over Other Methods?

Compared to sand or soda blasting, dry ice blasting:

Does not damage delicate surfaces
Can be used around electrical equipment
Eliminates the need for disassembly in many cases
Reduces cleanup time after blasting

This renders it a favorite cleaning and maintenance solution that is precise.
