Free Lunch & Learn: Specialized Blasting Services for Your Cleaning Challenges
Industrial and commercial cleaning needs are rarely routine. From the stubborn nature of the adherents to the often delicate equipment and surroundings in the way, these clean-ups require careful planning and a customized approach.
That’s why we provide a diverse array of blasting and cleaning methods. As a division of Premium Plant Services, we tackle the “impossible” jobs that other companies can’t manage. From dry ice blasting to sponge blasting to industrial vacuuming, we specialize in innovative and powerful cleaning methods that enable us to ensure the right match between cleaning method and cleaning needs.
Join us for a FREE Lunch & Learn session to learn more about our options, including dry ice blasting — a water-free, chemical-free blasting method that can remove clean surfaces and equipment as delicate as an electrical panel while also removing adherents as stubborn as hardened glue.
What You’ll Learn
During this personalized 1-hour session, our experts will walk you through everything you need to know about our array of blasting options, including:
- How dry ice blasting and sponge-blasting work — the science behind these high-performance water-free cleaning options
- Best practices for various types of adherents and delicate substrates
- Real-world applications for food processing, manufacturing, restoration, refineries, petrochemical and power plants and more
- When dry ice blasting is the right solution — and when a more abrasive blasting method is a better fit, including sponge blasting, abrasive blasting and hydroblasting — among other solutions.
Whether you host us in-person over lunch at your facility or join via Microsoft Teams, this session is designed to answer your specific questions and show you the possibilities for your cleaning challenges.
Dry Ice Blasting vs. Abrasive Blasting
Dry ice blasting uses solid CO₂ particles propelled at high speed to lift contaminants off surfaces without damaging underlying equipment or leaving behind secondary waste. Unlike traditional blasting or chemical sanitation methods, dry ice blasting is non-abrasive, water-free, and highly effective — especially in environments like food processing where hygiene standards are critical.
Dry ice sublimates on impact, meaning it goes from a solid straight to gas — leaving no collateral debris to clean up. This helps reduce downtime, eliminate moisture issues, and improve operational efficiency.
Dry ice blasting can be calibrated to a gentle dusting for cleaning delicate surfaces. Some applications, however, require more abrasive blasting methods using media that includes crushed glass, walnut shells, corncobs, baking soda and aluminum oxide.
Common Blasting FAQs
To help you get started, here are some of the most frequently asked questions:
Q: What is dry ice blasting?
Dry ice blasting is a non-abrasive cleaning method that uses frozen CO₂ pellets accelerated with air to remove contaminants without water, chemicals, or secondary waste.
Q: How does it work?
The process combines thermal shock, kinetic energy from impact, and sublimation — where dry ice pellets expand and remove stuck-on materials without surface damage.
Q: Will it damage my equipment?
No — when properly executed, dry ice blasting can clean even delicate surfaces like electrical components without harm because it’s non-abrasive and non-conductive.
Q: What is the best blasting method for paint removal?
Dry ice blasting is often a good choice for removing flaking paint, especially on delicate surfaces like old brick. Well-adhered layers of paint may require more abrasive force, like sponge blasting, which has the added advantage of dust suppression.
