Industrial
In-Situ Equipment Cleaning Without Production Shutdown
Industrial dry ice blasting cleans production machinery, tooling, and electrical equipment in-situ — without disassembly, without solvents, and without halting your production line. Our process meets COSHH regulations and leaves no secondary waste, reducing downtime and compliance burden.
Surfaces we've taken
down to honest metal.
- →Unlike pressure washing, dry ice blasting creates no corrosion risk from water ingress into bearings, electrical enclosures, or precision components
- →Unlike chemical solvents, there are no COSHH compliance issues, no hazardous waste disposal costs, and no risk of chemical reaction with process materials
- →Unlike manual cleaning, the blasting process achieves a far faster turnaround — critical for minimising downtime during planned maintenance
- →Unlike abrasive blasting, dry ice leaves no secondary media contamination on precision surfaces, bearings, or food-contact areas

Industrial cleaning sessions are scheduled around your maintenance windows. We work with your engineering team to prioritise critical equipment and can clean around live panels and machinery where safe to do so under a permit to work.
Things people ask first.
- Q · 01
- Can equipment be cleaned whilst still in-situ and assembled?
In most cases, yes. Dry ice blasting cleans machinery without disassembly. For equipment near live electrical supplies, we work under your permit to work procedures and may require isolation of specific circuits. We will assess the site and advise before starting work.
- Q · 02
- How does industrial dry ice cleaning compare to pressure washing?
Pressure washing introduces water into bearings, electrical enclosures, and control panels — causing corrosion and short circuit risk. Dry ice blasting is a dry process, creates no secondary waste, and can be used on energised equipment where water-based methods cannot.
- Q · 03
- Is dry ice blasting safe for food-grade production equipment?
Yes. Dry ice blasting uses CO2 pellets, which are food-grade and leave no residue. The process is approved for use in food and pharmaceutical manufacturing environments where chemical contamination is not permitted. Surfaces are clean and ready for production immediately after treatment.
- Q · 04
- What types of industrial contamination can it remove?
Dry ice blasting effectively removes machine oils, greases, adhesives, release agents, carbon deposits, ink residue, paint overspray, rust, scale, and general production build-up. Particularly effective on contamination baked onto heated surfaces such as moulds and oven components.
