Dry Ice Blast Cleaning Services
PARK Dry Ice Blast Services offers specialised cleaning solutions utilising advanced dry ice blasting technology for a variety of industrial and commercial applications. Experience the difference of non-abrasive, chemical-free cleaning that ensures the integrity of your equipment and surfaces.
Industries where Dry Ice Blasting Excels
Most industries now either use or would benefit from the advantages of using a Dry Ice Blast cleaning process. The technology has moved on immensely since the first commercial machines were developed in the late 1980's
Aerospace and Automotive
Dry ice blasting meets the stringent industries demands to remove contaminants, prepare surfaces for secondary processes and clean for maintenance and safety inspections. The non-abrasive nature means it is ideally suited to restoration. It can clean inaccessible areas without the need for disassembly.
Oil, Gas and Power Generation
Safe removal of heavy flammable residue and contaminants. Dry ice is non-corrosive for instrumentation, electrical control systems. There is no secondary waste, solvents or toxic chemicals used, so it is environmentally sensitive in restrictive conditions. Critical path equipment and systems can be cleaned to maximise efficiency and productivity without cooldown time or disassembly.
Medical and Pharmaceutical
Dry ice provides a safe, sterile and efficient cleaning solution. Particularly effective where precision equipment and precise tolerance molds are manufactured and used. Its ability to deburr and deflash products safely in a sterile manner meets the exacting regulatory standards and quality required.
Construction and Mining
Dry ice blasting offers a non-conductive, eco-friendly cleaning solution that produces no secondary waste. It safely removes contaminants from production equipment, enhances operational efficiency. The non-abrasive process of cleaning excels in removing paint, carbon deposits and residue from stone, wood, and metals for the Restoration and preservation of structures and buildings.
Plastics, Composites and textiles
Unlike abrasive methods such as sandblasting or harsh chemical cleaning, dry ice cleaning is non-abrasive and safe for delicate plastics and composite materials. It effectively cleans molds and composite parts without surface damage, ensuring optimal product quality. In the textile industry, moisture-sensitive machinery and looms can be cleaned without disassembly, preserving precision, preventing contamination, and significantly reducing downtime.
Food and Beverage Production
Food and drink production and processing equipment often build up grease, carbonised residue, biofilms, and other contaminants, even harmful mould and bacteria. They are also particularly time-consuming and difficult to remove using traditional methods. Dry ice blasting offers a unique solution as the only cleaning method in the food industry that is non-destructive, environmentally sustainable, chemical-free, waterless, and produces no secondary waste.
Applications
The applications of Dry Ice Blasting are vast. It is used in most industries and sectors across the globe.
Adhesive or Excess Material Removal
Dry ice blasting is a fast and efficient method for removing adhesive buildup from production equipment. The extreme cold of the dry ice weakens the adhesive bond, making removal more effective. More frequent cleaning and prolonged life of expensive equipment are also possible, as it is non-abrasive and creates no secondary waste.
Coating and Corrosion Removal
To remove surface rust and form part of an effective means of corrosion prevention dry ice blasting is ideal. No disassembly is required unlike other media types of blast cleaning.
When used at the correct high volume and flow rates dry-ice is an effective way to remove surface coatings safely and effectively.
Surface Preparation
Dry ice blasting does not introduce water and removes the need for harsh chemical cleaners. It can tackle delicate and intricate surfaces on composites and plastics but equally remove heavy layers of contaminants on steel surfaces.
No secondary media eliminates the risks of trapped particles of grit. Dry ice blasting ensures higher quality surfaces are produced where precision and contamination are critical.
Casting, Tooling and Die Cleaning
Cleanliness and precision are key for molds and boxes to be consistent. Build of solids like resins and sand causes poor flow, leading to blockages and ultimately poor quality products with higher rates of scrap produced. Traditional cleaning is very slow, ineffective and can cause damage. Dry ice blasting quickly and safely removes buildup while equipment is still online without creating secondary waste.
Fire Smoke and Water remediation
Mould and microbial growth in damp buildings pose health risks, requiring swift, expert remediation. Dry ice blasting provides a fast, non-toxic solution, removing mould, soot, char, and odours without chemicals or secondary waste. It inhibits bacterial and fungal growth, making it safe for all hard surfaces and ideal for fire and water damage restoration.
Automotive and Historical Restoration
Dry ice blasting offers a fast, non-abrasive solution for historical restoration, safely removing paint, soot, mould, and contaminants without damaging delicate surfaces on artefacts, structures and monuments. It eliminates harsh chemicals, abrasive hand tools, and water. Reducing costs, project time, and environmental impact. As no dismantling is required originality of a vehicle or structure is preserved.
