Industrial Dry Ice Blasting for Equipment, Machinery & Facility Cleaning Across the GTA
Dry ice blasting uses dry ice pellets to remove selected surface contamination without adding water. The dry ice dissipates, but removed dirt and debris still require containment and cleanup. We assess the surface, equipment and work area before recommending this method.
Dry ice blasting can be suitable for selected machinery and industrial surfaces. Suitability depends on the material, contamination and equipment requirements. We assess each application and coordinate isolation, ventilation, containment and cleanup with the facility team.
Dry ice blasting may reduce dismantling and cleaning time for suitable equipment. Shutdowns, isolation and cleaning schedules depend on the machinery and site requirements. We agree on a work plan with your facility team before starting.
For a dry ice blasting assessment, tell LAC WASH which equipment or surfaces need cleaning, what residue is present, the approximate area, access restrictions and available work times. This helps us assess whether dry ice blasting or another cleaning method fits the job.
We serve facilities across the GTA and Cambridge. View our industrial cleaning and facility maintenance project photos to see examples of our wider services.
Each project requires a site-specific work plan, appropriate ventilation, protective equipment and containment. For food-processing areas, cleaning must follow the facility’s hygiene procedures and verification requirements. Dry ice blasting does not replace any required sanitizing or disinfection step.
Dry ice blasting is a cleaning method that uses compressed air to propel dry ice pellets at high speeds. When these pellets hit a surface, they sublimate (turn directly into gas), lifting selected dirt, grease and contaminants. The dry ice dissipates; removed contamination still requires containment and cleanup.
Suitability depends on the material, finish, contamination and equipment. We review the application and test an appropriate area before selecting cleaning settings.
Dry ice blasting can be considered for suitable equipment and surfaces in manufacturing, food processing and restoration. We assess access, contamination, ventilation and production requirements before recommending it.
Yes. Although the dry ice itself dissipates, removed dirt and debris must still be contained, collected and disposed of appropriately.
Dry ice blasting may be suitable for selected cleaning tasks in food-processing facilities. The facility must approve the method, equipment isolation and hygiene procedures. Any required sanitizing and verification remain part of the cleaning plan.
