Dry ice cleaning is often used in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries to efficiently remove residues such as grease, oil and other contaminants from tanks. The advantages of this method include thorough cleaning without aggressive chemicals, minimised system downtime and reduced waste and environmental pollution thanks to the residue-free process.
Dry ice is produced by liquefying carbon dioxide (CO2) and then freezing it. The CO2 gas is liquefied under high pressure in a special container and then frozen into dry ice pellets, nuggets, or blocks. The rapid freezing process creates a very low temperature, which transforms the liquid CO2 into a solidified form.
Dry ice can be an efficient and environmentally friendly solution for cleaning tanks. Dry ice blasting is an innovative process that uses special equipment to remove impurities such as paint, grease, paint residue, or dirt from surfaces. This method is particularly suitable for tank maintenance, as it can gently and effectively remove even stubborn deposits. Dry ice blasting is also the ideal choice for rust removal. The pressure and cold of the dry ice loosen the rust from the object and can be easily removed.
By using dry ice cleaning machines, tanks can be quickly and thoroughly derusted and purified without the need for chemical cleaning agents. On contact with the surface to be treated, the pellets immediately change into a gaseous state and dissolve the contaminants. This enables fast and residue-free cleansing. Dry ice cleaning has proven to be extremely effective for thoroughly treating tanks and removing impurities.
CO2 blasting does not produce any abrasive particles, which protects the treated surface. Frozen CO2 can also be used in hard-to-reach areas to remove even the smallest particles. This leads to a good result and enables fast and efficient tank maintenance.
Another advantage of dry ice purification is that the blasting agent sublimates when it hits the area to be treated. This means that frozen CO2 leaves no residue, which is particularly important for tank maintenance to ensure clean and flawless use. Frozen CO2 is also non-toxic, which makes the process environmentally friendly overall.
Treating a tank with dry ice is an effective and environmentally friendly method of removing contamination and ensuring the component remains functional. At the same time, treating with CO2 blasting is gentle on the substrate, which enables quick and efficient maintenance.

Removing rust from tanks is an important step in preventing corrosion and extending the service life of the tank. Dry ice cleaning is an innovative process for purifying rusted tanks.Pellets of frozen CO2 are shot onto the surface to be cleaned using compressed air at high speed. The thermal shock on impact with the area loosens the rust, dirt, and impurities and rust removal takes place without damaging the substrate material.
Effective rust removal with CO2 blasting means that tanks can then be sealed to protect them from rust forming again. Special sealing agents are applied to the area to form a protective layer and protect the tanks from corrosion in the long term. This method is particularly useful for tanks in the pharmaceutical or food industry, where cleanliness and hygiene are a top priority. Dry ice cleaning is therefore not only an optimal application for removing rust from tanks, but also a sustainable solution for protecting them from further damage and extending their service life.
The use of frozen CO2 is also an efficient solution for thoroughly purifying a fuel tank. The maintenance process begins by emptying the tank and removing any fuel residue. The material to be cleaned is then treated with a dry ice blasting machine. The extremely low temperature of the dry ice dissolves the dirt, making it easy to remove. The use of dry ice pellets is effective and leaves no harmful residue that could affect the engine. After purification, the tank is thoroughly rinsed to ensure that no dry ice residue remains. The tank can then be refilled with fresh fuel and put back into operation.
