Dry Ice for Blasting

What the Medium Does Once It Leaves the Nozzle

A blasting machine accelerates dry ice through a nozzle using compressed air. On impact the particles create thermal shock and kinetic energy that dislodges contaminants, then sublimate into gas. The machine is yours; the medium it runs on is what we supply.

Precision Cleaning

Fed through a blasting machine, dry ice cleans in even the most challenging environments. It lifts contaminants off industrial equipment, delicate machinery and sensitive electronic components without causing damage.

What that means

No abrasive grit to recover afterwards, and no scored or eroded surface to re-finish.

Residue-Free Performance

The particles are propelled at high speed and sublimate instantly on impact, lifting away dirt, grease and contaminants without any mess. Unlike traditional cleaning methods, dry ice leaves no residue behind.

What that means

No rinse cycle and no blasting medium left behind to sweep up or dispose of.

Versatility Across Industries

From food processing plants to automotive facilities, dry ice blasting adapts seamlessly to various applications. Its non-abrasive, eco-friendly nature makes it a preferred cleaning method across industries, and it cleans equipment without water.

What that means

One medium covers delicate circuitry and heavy industrial equipment alike.

Environmentally Friendly

As the dry ice sublimates into carbon dioxide gas during the cleaning process, it leaves behind no waste. This zero-residue method reduces environmental impact and minimizes cleanup time and costs.

What that means

No wastewater and no spent blasting medium to collect after the job.

Who Buys Blasting Dry Ice

The Industries That Run Blasting Machines

Dry ice blasting is used on a wide range of surfaces and materials across industries — the jobs where water, chemicals or abrasives would cause more problems than they solve. These are the operations that keep a machine on site and buy the consumable from us, alongside the rest of our cold work, from the food-plant cold chain to airport cargo and logistics.

Food Processing Plants

Blasting effectively removes contaminants and buildup on equipment, ensuring food safety and quality. The medium is food-grade solid CO₂: it sublimates on impact and leaves no residue behind on the line. We keep the plant supplied with it.

Delicate Electronics & Circuitry

Dry ice is gentle enough for delicate electronic components and circuitry, and it fits the cleaning scenarios where water isn’t suitable. Due to its specialized nature the process requires trained personnel for effective and safe usage — yours, on your own machine.

Automotive Facilities

From food processing plants to automotive facilities, dry ice blasting adapts to the work. It lifts grease, oils and other residues from parts, jigs and tooling without causing damage, and with no drying stage before the shop goes back to work.

Industrial Equipment Maintenance

Blasting is widely employed for cleaning industrial machinery, tools and equipment: it takes off grease, oils and other residues without causing damage, and because it is waterless it adds no wastewater to the plant. Maintenance teams reorder the ice as they burn through it.

Surface Restoration & Coating Removal

Dry ice abrasive blasting is an advanced method that combines dry ice blasting with abrasives. It removes tough coatings, corrosion and debris without surface damage, which makes it a fit for industrial cleaning and restoration projects that need precision and power — and it decides which granulometry you order.

Need it at the dock, or picked up by the pound?

The same order can carry blasting dry ice alongside solid blocks, pellets, gel packs and coolers.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer dry ice blasting services?
No. Sub-Zero does not perform blasting. What we supply is the consumable: premium powdered dry ice and dry ice rice specifically designed for blasting machines, for industrial cleaning, surface restoration and other specialized applications. The machine and the labour are yours; the dry ice is ours.
Which dry ice formats work in a blasting machine?
Powdered dry ice and dry ice rice are the formats made for blasting machines: rice-sized particles for blasting, which is what the nozzle is built to accelerate. Dry ice pellets, approximately 3/4 inch in diameter and 1 to 2 inches in length, are also used in blasting machines as well as for precision cooling. Solid blocks are for long-term freezing, not for blasting.
How much dry ice will our machine consume?
That depends on the machine, the nozzle setting and the job, so we do not publish a consumption figure. Tell us the machine and the volume you expect to run and we will quote the supply.
Can we pick the dry ice up, or do you deliver it?
Both. Dry ice per pound is available for pickup at our locations in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando/Tampa, Fort Myers and Puerto Rico. For shipments, our dry ice products are available exclusively within the state of Florida or Next-Day Air for the rest of the US.
Is blasting dry ice safe around food production equipment?
Dry ice is food-grade solid carbon dioxide and it sublimates into gas, leaving no residue behind: no water, no solvents and no cleaning agents left on the equipment. That is why food processing plants run it through their machines on equipment where contaminants and buildup have to go without a rinse stage.
Which areas do you cover?
We are strategically located to serve Florida and Puerto Rico, operating from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando/Tampa and Fort Myers, plus a location in Puerto Rico. Outside those areas, contact us and we will evaluate the order.

Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide at −78.5 °C and it sublimates into gas. Handle it with insulated gloves, keep the area ventilated to prevent CO₂ buildup in enclosed spaces, and let surplus sublimate outdoors or in a well-ventilated area, away from public access, children and animals.
