Dry ice blasting.

Dry ice blasting is an excellent cleaning method for machines or installations that must not come into contact with water. Unlike wet cleaning, the surface to be cleaned remains dry, preventing damage from moisture or aggressive cleaning agents. Moreover, this technique minimizes operational disruptions. Peeters has the right equipment and expertise for perfect dry cleaning!

The technique uses dry ice. The dry ice blasting machine mixes this dry ice with an air stream, forcing it against the surface to be cleaned with great force. The compressed air stream accelerates the dry ice particles in the blast hose, and the operator sprays them onto the surface using a spray gun fitted with a nozzle. Dry ice does not contain water. It consists of pure carbon dioxide, also known as solid carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide pellets (-79°C) immediately transform from their solid state to an odorless and colorless gas.

Dry ice does not liquefy. Because dry ice transforms instantly from a solid to a gaseous state, no residue is left behind. This makes it ideal for use in electrical environments. You don't need to disassemble machines, and no blast residue gets into the machines. Waste is minimal, consisting only of the contamination itself.
