Why choose Eco Dry Ice blasting?

environmentally friendly

Dry ice is an environmentally safe and effective alternative to current cleaning methods, approved even in the marine and food sectors.
increases productivity, reduces downtime & costs

Most applications can be easily cleaned in-situ, without the need for disassembly or concerns about trapping grit or leaving residue. This not only prevents hours of employee down-time, but also saves your business precious time and money.
prolongs lifespan of assets

Often overlooked, effective cleaning is a crucial component in the circular economy, prolonging the lifespan of plant and equipment through reliability-centred maintenance.
To ensure maximum lifespan and efficiency of an asset, it is essential to clean it in a manner that helps the asset to operate at its optimal level.

Abrasive cleaning methods weaken the surface of the asset over time, reducing its lifespan, and cleaning with chemicals or toxins not only poses potential damage to equipment and components, but also leaves undesirable moisture and residues on surfaces.

Traditional cleaning methods also increase the risk of cross-contamination of surfaces, as well as seepage into delicate electrical circuitry.

Moisture-free and non-abrasive Dry Ice cleaning helps extend the asset life and reliability of existing equipment.
non-abrasive, no damage

Dry Ice cleaning is a gentle and non-abrasive method that does not cause any scratching or roughness to materials. Blast pressure, ice rate, and nozzles are expertly adjusted ensuring the utmost care for even the most delicate applications.
moisture-free cleaning

Dry Ice cleaning is the most effective way to ensure there is no moisture created in the cleaning of your plant and equipment. This makes it an ideal, cost-effective and sustainable solution for cleaning different environments in a range of diverse industries.
faster and more efficient clean

With no need to disassemble machinery for cleaning, Dry Ice blasting saves time (and money).

The dry ice also reaches into spaces that other methods would struggle to clean.

With no residue generated, only the removed contaminant requires cleaning up, making the process much faster than traditional blasting.
no secondary waste / residue

Dry Ice sublimates completely to CO2. This means there are no residues such as waste water or abrasives, and reduces cross-contamination risk.
safe around electrical components

Dry Ice cleaning is a moisture-free solution for cleansing electrical equipment. By employing dry ice pellets as the blasting medium, they undergo sublimation upon contact with the surface, bypassing the liquid state and transitioning directly from solid to vapour.

This process effectively elevates contaminants from the targeted area. Notably, the residue-free nature of dry ice cleaning ensures less clean-up and reduced downtime.

Eco know that some industries struggle to have their equipment restored or decontaminated. Sometimes the only real way to have this done is to have the machinery taken off-site, which is time consuming and expensive – not with Dry Ice Blasting.

Dry Ice cleaning is rapidly gaining popularity due to several significant reasons that collectively contribute to the prolonged lifespan, enhanced reliability, and improved performance of existing equipment, and the gentleness of the process which leads to a damage-free free, fast clean with no residue.

How dry ice blasting works.

City skyline

Compressed air pressure blasts dry ice pellets which sublimates on impact as carbon dioxide gas (CO2). Due to expansion, the contaminants are lifted and separated from the surface.

The low temperature of the dry ice pellets (-78°C) causes the contamination to freeze, contract and crack resulting in the easy detachment of the contaminant from the surface.
