  • Mould Cleaning: Cleaning of moulds used in manufacturing plastic, rubber, and other materials.
  • Paint Removal: Stripping paint from vehicle bodies and parts without damaging the underlying surface.

3. Food and Beverage Industry

  • Production Equipment: Cleaning of conveyor belts, mixers, ovens, and other production equipment without chemicals.
  • Facility Sanitation: Ensuring hygiene standards by cleaning walls, floors, and ceilings.

4. Aerospace Industry

  • Aircraft Maintenance: Cleaning of aircraft exteriors, interiors, and components to remove carbon deposits, oils, and greases.

5. Power Generation

  • Turbine Cleaning: Maintenance of turbines by removing deposits without abrasion.
  • Generator Cleaning: Cleaning of generators and other sensitive equipment without moisture or chemicals.

6. Mould Remediation

  • Surface Cleaning: Effective removal of mold, mildew, and other contaminants from building surfaces, including wood and concrete.

7. Restoration Projects

  • Fire Damage: Cleaning soot, smoke damage, and charred materials from buildings after a fire.
  • Historical Restoration: Gentle cleaning of historical artefacts and structures without damaging the original material.

8. Printing Industry

  • Press Cleaning: Removing ink, grease, and paper dust from printing presses and other equipment.

9. Marine Industry

11. Pharmaceutical and Medical

  • Sterile Environment Cleaning: Maintaining cleanliness in sterile environments without using water or chemicals.

Benefits of Dry Ice Blasting

  • Non-abrasive: Does not damage the surfaces being cleaned.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Uses non-toxic, non-hazardous CO2 pellets.
  • No Secondary Waste: The dry ice sublimates, leaving only the removed contaminants.
  • Effective: Cleans hard-to-reach areas and intricate geometries.

Dry ice blasting is chosen for these applications due to its effectiveness in removing contaminants without damaging the surfaces, as well as its minimal environmental impact.
