Dry ice blasting technology has gained popularity in many industrial sectors in recent years. As a manufacturer, we develop and build dry ice blasting machines that use dry ice – solid carbon dioxide (CO₂) – for cleaning and surface treatment processes. This technology utilizes the benefits of solid CO2 to clean efficiently, environmentally friendly and without water or chemicals.
Dry ice blasting is used in particular in the field of industrial cleaning. Dry ice is blasted onto the surface to be cleaned using compressed air. When the pellets hit the surface, they sublimate immediately – i.e. they change directly from a solid to a gaseous state – and effectively remove dirt, oil, grease and other deposits without damaging the surface or the component to be cleaned itself. This process is particularly advantageous as it is dry and does not produce any additional waste, which is superior to other cleaning methods.

Using pellets of solid CO2 as a blasting medium is advantageous for several reasons. Dry ice is non-toxic, non-conductive and leaves no residue as it sublimates. This makes it ideal for delicate or difficult cleaning tasks. In addition, dry ice pellets can help reduce machine downtime as in many cases cleaning can be done without disassembly. This efficiency can have a positive impact on productivity and ultimately on a company’s cost structure.
Another advantage of dry ice cleaning is that it is an environmentally friendly cleaning method. As no harmful chemicals are used and no waste water is produced, the method is a “green” alternative to more traditional cleaning methods. Dry ice is made from recycled carbon dioxide, a by-product of industrial processes, and therefore contributes to the recycling of CO₂.
The choice of an ice blasting machine should be made carefully. White Lion is on hand to advise you and ensure you get a machine that meets your requirements. As dry ice blasting can be used in a variety of applications, from the food industry to the automotive sector, it is invaluable to choose a system that is flexible and adaptable.
Dry ice cleaning is an innovative solution for many cleaning problems. It is effective, environmentally friendly and can achieve a high level of cleanliness. A compact, mobile ice blasting machine offers the flexibility to be used in different locations, making the cleaning technology accessible to a wider range of applications. With the right choice and handling, an ice blasting machine is a valuable tool for any cleaning task where dryness, cleanliness and precision are required.
Choosing the right dry ice blasting machine depends on various factors that need to be taken into account to ensure effective and efficient cleaning. Different applications require different machine sizes and outputs, so you need to consider what exactly you want to clean with the machine, as well as the material to be cleaned. Some surfaces require gentler cleaning to avoid damage.
Is the device intended for mobile use or a fixed location? Mobile devices should be lighter and therefore more transportable. An ice blasting machine designed for mobile use has the significant advantage that it can be taken directly to the place of use. This allows users to work in different locations and environments without the need for stationary equipment. Such a machine is usually compact in design so that it can be easily transported and quickly set up on site.
The power of the blasting device should be adapted to the soiling and the surfaces to be cleaned. Too much power can damage sensitive surfaces. The performance and capacity of the air supply are crucial. A compressor that supplies the necessary compressed air is required to operate a dry ice blasting machine. The choice of compressor should be matched to the machine to ensure that the pressure and air volume are adequate to effectively accelerate the dry ice pellets. The compressor is an essential part of the overall system and its function and must be reliable and powerful to ensure effective cleaning. Check whether the performance capacity of your existing compressor is sufficient or whether an additional compressor is required.
The right choice of accessories is also crucial for successful dry ice blasting. The example of a simple nozzle extension alone can make floor cleaning work significantly more ergonomic, effective and therefore more economical. We will be happy to advise you on modern nozzle technology, compressed air ratios, occupational safety and much more on the subject of dry ice blasting.
