CO2 Dry Ice Cleaning
CO2 Dry Ice Cleaning
CO2 Dry Ice blast cleaning has rapidly become the preferred method of cleaning among the industrial, municipal, and environmental sectors.
Dry ice particles are propelled by compressed air at a high impact to clean contaminants from surfaces that are delicate, porous, and difficult to clean.
Contaminants such as: paint, graffiti, oil, grease, soot, and wax are easily and safely removed by the CO2 blast cleaning process.
CO2 Dry Ice cleaning is:
- Environmentally friendly
- Non-Toxic
- Cost-effective
- Food grade
- 100% free of water (for electrical or electronic applications)
- Has no secondary waste

Additional Information:
Online cleaning of production equipment by means of CO2 Dry Ice Cleaning eliminates the need for masking, cool down and disassembly. This allows for production downtime to be minimized while maximizing efficiency.
Production equipment in foundries, rubber and plastic molders, food manufactures, printers, automotive, nuclear and so many other industries can be cleaned with results and cost savings not available through other conventional cleaning methods.
BDI CO2 Dual Action Cleaning Units are designed to provide years of trouble free service with a minimum of maintenance and operating costs. These units are available from our inventory upon request .
What is it?
Dry Ice pellets, blocks or nuggets are ground into fine or rough sugar crystal like format by means of controlled mechanical stress. Specially developed Dry Ice Management Systems build into our dry ice cleaning machines supply that function continuously and evenly, optimizing particle size and desired dry ice flow. This new dry ice particle flow is fed into the work air stream by our classic 2-hose (venture) delivery method.
What are the Advantages?
Economy
Slow motion video shows that approximately 60% of a dry ice pellet sublimes to CO2 vapor on surface impact, when being blasted via a high velocity air stream onto a targeted substrate. Only 40% of that pellet actually does the job of removing coatings and contaminates. When particles of a defined small granular size are being used for cleaning (Dry Ice Crystals), solid CO2 pellets, blocks or nuggets are ground into fine or rough sugar like crystal particles, increasing the impact points per cm3 dry ice onto the substrate thousand fold and thereby drastically reducing impact sublimation. This new format utilizes the dry ice media more efficiently than any other method. .......30-50% less Dry Ice consumption!
Substrate Safety
BDI CO2 Crystal Particle Cleaning systems create particles of substantially reduced individual mass, compared to standard Dry Ice pellets without any loss of cleaning power. It is the distribution of equal dry ice mass over a much larger amount of impact points, which gives CO2 Crystal Particle Cleaning the ability to clean very sensitive surfaces. For example your generator and motor windings, electronics, circuit boards, semi conductor tools, even wood or soft sand stone substrates are protected. ...Sensitive surfaces are safe!
