Dry Ice Blasting

Phantom robot can use dry ice for cleaning in a process known as dry ice blasting.

The Science Behind It

Compressed air is used to accelerate pellets of solid carbon dioxide, AKA dry ice, in order to clean different surfaces. Upon reaching the surface, the dry ice causes thermal shock which freezes the contaminates on the surface making them brittle. The high speed of bombardment causes the brittle debris, stains, and contaminants to break while the sublimation of the dry ice blows them away.

Pallets are
produced inhouse

We produce our own dry ice pellets with the help of ColdJet superior systems that are highly reliable. They allow us to consistently produce, meter and package dry ice of high quality.

Why Dry Ice Blasting

This process is considered a superior cleaning method when compared to traditional ones because it is

Highly Efficient

Not only does it remove tough stain but also it get rids of odors without damaging surfaces or leaving byproducts or waste. Furthermore, it has disinfection capabilities due to the low temperature of dry ice (-80 oC).

Cost Effective

This method is known to be less labor Intensive because no dismantling or disassembly is required. Besides being less time consuming, it is also less energy intensive all of which decreases labor costs.

Safer Cleaning Method

Besides dry ice being a nontoxic material, the process reduces employee’s exposure to dangerous chemical agents and therefore is considered a safe method.

Environmentally Friendly

The process produces zero waste and uses no chemicals or solvents. Moreover, The CO2 used is recycled which means no extra CO2 is released into the environment.

Versatility of Applications in
Different Sectors

The dry ice blasting technology can be used in many sectors including the HVAC, industrial exhaust, energy, petrochemical industry, civil and public infrastructure, and industrial infrastructure sectors. Here are some of the ways the technology is currently being used by various industries:
