Dry Ice Blasting Kalamazoo Michigan

Kalamazoo MI Dry Ice Blasting is particularly effective at cleaning industrial and production equipment. Unlike other types of media blasting, Kalamazoo MI Dry Ice Blasting generates no additional waste or secondary contamination. Upon contact with the surface to be cleaned, the dry ice pellets transform directly from a solid to a gas (no liquid phase) in a process known as sublimation, leaving no residue behind. This also makes it ideal for situations where moisture is not an option. It is nonabrasive, nonconductive, and nonflammable. This method is especially effective at reaching hard to reach places reducing the need for disassembly of the equipment.

As a replacement of using abrasive media to grind and potentially damage a surface, ice blasting uses Kalamazoo MI dry ice accelerated at high speeds, that lifts the undesirable item off the surface. Benefits of using:

• Only thing left to clean up afterwards is what’s been removed from the surface.
• Safe For Indoors & Tight Spaces
• Non-toxic & Cost-Effective 

Decreased Downtime through Cleaning In-Place

Typical cleaning procedures require that equipment be disassembled and moved to an assigned area for proper cleaning. That is not the case with Kalamazoo MI dry ice blasting. Equipment can be cleaned in-place and hot in most situations. Because of that, many time-consuming, labor-intensive steps which were required with other methods such as sand blasting can be eliminated including Disassembly, Reassembly, Cool Down, and even transportation. 

Faster Cleaning Process

With dry ice blast cleaning Michigan, equipment runs more efficiently and potential leaks are revealed possibly preventing major system failures. Ensure the machinery within your production facility is always functioning properly by immediately removing dirt, soot, grease, or oil buildup. This will also extend the life of your machine’s electric motors and reduce the chance you’ll need to replace the machine itself. Our technicians have over 30 years of experience performing dry ice blasting services for production facilities in the Michigan area.

Equipment Damage Elimination

Kalamazoo MI Dry ice blasting typically eliminates equipment damage. Cleaning methods such as sandblasting leave an aggressive and abrasive effect on the surface. They can actually remove part of the surface, changing the surface structure considerably. Dry ice is non-abrasive to surfaces and does not change a surface’s structure. It lifts the contaminants away. 

Reduction or Elimination of Cleaner Solutions

Kalamazoo MI Dry ice blasting utilizes no solvents, but instead uses nonhazardous CO2 pellets. Making it simple to comply with environmental regulations or to improve worker safety. There are no issues pertaining to toxicity with CO2 blasting.

Waste Disposal Reduction

With most all other cleaning methods, the cleaning agent becomes a secondary contaminant and must be disposed of with the primary contaminant.  However, with dry ice blast cleaning because the CO2 pellet vaporizes, the only waste created is the contaminant itself.  

Increased Safety

Kalamazoo MI Dry ice blasting pellets are non-toxic, non-hazardous creating advantages to the environment, your employees, and production facility.

Important Benefits

• Clean in-place; no cool-down required
• Eliminate wear and tear
• Environmentally responsible
• No secondary waste
• Non-abrasive process
