Dry ice cleaning is particularly advantageous in mechanical engineering, where precision and cleanliness are of the utmost importance. Many machines and system components are made of steel or other metal alloys that react sensitively to aggressive chemical cleaning agents or abrasive processes. However, as dry ice cleaning is based on physical principles – namely the sublimation of CO2 – the metallic surface is not damaged. When the dry ice particles are shot onto the surface to be cleaned, they evaporate abruptly and leave no residue.
As the cleaning process can be used precisely, even hard-to-reach areas and delicate components can be reached effortlessly. This is particularly important when maintaining machines where deposits of oil, grease, dust or other residues can impair functionality.
Especially in the steel production and processing sector, where high temperatures and abrasive processes prevail, dry ice cleaning can significantly extend the service life of machines.

One of the most outstanding advantages of dry ice cleaning is the gentle treatment of surfaces. As the dry ice pellets sublimate directly, i.e. change from a solid to a gaseous state, they leave no residue and do not damage the material. This is particularly important in metal and steel construction, where surface integrity is crucial for the durability and functionality of components.
In addition to protecting surfaces, dry ice cleaning also significantly reduces the amount of work involved. Traditional methods often require extensive preparation and follow-up work, for example by covering adjacent surfaces or removing attachments. With dry ice, work can be carried out directly in many cases without the need for major adjustments. This not only saves time, but also minimizes disruption to the production process.
Another advantage is the environmental friendliness of the process. Unlike chemical cleaning agents, which release harmful vapors and often require special disposal measures, dry ice cleaning uses a naturally occurring gas that leaves no harmful residue. In addition, no special disposal is required after cleaning, which further reduces the environmental impact.
Dry ice cleaning is suitable for a wide range of applications in metal and steel construction. It is often used to remove dirt, grease, oil, rust and other contaminants. Whether for the maintenance of machines, the preparation of surfaces for coatings or the cleaning of tools – the possibilities are endless. Applications for this effective cleaning technology are also becoming increasingly common in the automotive industry, mechanical engineering and other technical areas.
An important area of application for dry ice cleaning in mechanical engineering is the maintenance and servicing of machines and systems. As contamination containing oil and grease often accumulates during operation, dry ice cleaning enables thorough and gentle cleaning without the use of aggressive chemicals. This is particularly advantageous for sensitive components where damage caused by conventional cleaning methods must be avoided.
Another area of application is the cleanliness of production facilities. Hygiene is of the utmost importance in the manufacturing industry, especially in the automotive and food sectors. Dry ice cleaning removes contaminants efficiently and without leaving any residue, making it easier to comply with strict hygiene regulations. This method also minimizes downtime as it can be carried out quickly and easily.
Dry ice cleaning is also used in machine and system production itself. For example, it is used to remove deposits from molds and tools that form during the production process. This not only improves the quality of the manufactured products, but also extends the service life of the machines.
Dry ice cleaning is a powerful technique that not only enables metallic components such as steel to be cleaned effectively, but also significantly increases their functionality and service life. In mechanical engineering, dry ice cleaning ensures the quality and durability of critical components.
