What You Need To Know About Dry Ice Cleaning

Are you interested in learning more about dry ice blasting and how it can be used in the automotive industry? If so, you're in luck! In this video, I will be interviewing experts in the field of dry ice blasting to answer any questions you may have about this new and innovative cleaning method.
Dry ice blasting is a unique way of cleaning that uses compressed air to shoot small pellets of dry ice at a surface. The dry ice then sublimates on impact, creating tiny explosions that help to remove dirt, grime, and other substances from the surface being cleaned. This method of cleaning is becoming increasingly popular in the automotive industry due to its effectiveness and efficiency.
During the interview, we will cover a range of topics related to dry ice blasting, including its benefits, how it works, and its applications in the automotive industry. We will also discuss any potential limitations or drawbacks of this method of cleaning.
Whether you're a professional in the automotive industry or simply curious about this innovative cleaning method, this interview is sure to provide valuable insights and information. So, sit back, relax, and let's learn more about dry ice blasting!

@13:55 - RIP seat cover. Very fascinating tool, though. Seems like a great option for more durable materials. I wonder - I didn't see a vacuum to collect all the liberated crud. Is that a normal part of the process? It may not matter for undercarriage cleaning, where you can sweep up the bay afterward. But on an interior, isn't there a noticeable amount of dust collecting below the work area?

Jason, about 30 years ago, my boss asked me to investigate dry ice for cleaning wheel loader frames after machining at Caterpillar in Aurora. I didn't go any farther with it because the removal speed wasn't fast enough for our operation at the time. We needed to be able to clean 17 rear frames, front frames, and lift arms per shift.

[@sferg9582]

Running a large volume compressor, do you also need a refrigerated dryer? I can imagine that inducing the compressed air condensation into the dry ice stream and onto the surface being cleaned could be bad without a dryer, even with a holding tank.

[@ScottAles]

A refrigerated dryer won't cut it in most parts of the world. In the desert or arid locations, yes. Everywhere else you must run a desiccant dryer.

Question: From a customers perspective once one has invested in having the undercarriage ‘dry iced’ and have everything looking brand new from this process - is there a clear protective long lasting coating that can be applied to the to the undercarriage (once dry iced) to save the investment of probably a couple thousand dollars that was spent to clean up this area of the vehicle? Or is this something that has yet to be considered. I’d like to hear your thoughts on this for those of us who would appreciate protection on the undercarriage once dry iced.

[@nashslife4044]

There's a lot of permanent solutions like anti rust coatings or rubber coatings but in all honesty, it just gives you an extra layer between grime and body part. Doesn't save you the trouble of going through cleaning and all again just prevents any damage that may come over prolonged exposure to said grime and stuff. Not super detailed but hope it helps

Can anyone comment on whether dry ice can "brighten" aluminum parts- that is restore that new finish like when it was originally cast? I've heard different opinions- some say it cleans, yes, but doesn't really do much else...

It will NOT brighten aluminum. When properly used, it is non-abraisive. So there is no chance of brightening the surface.

Good question! We have a full explanation video coming out soon. The pellets of dry ice sublimate upon hitting the surface, and will actually lift the dirt off of the surface when the CO2 converts from the solid to gaseous state.

How many minutes does a pound last?

It depends on how fast your flow rate is, and how big your pellets are.

[@rawrestorationblastingllc3749]

You mention lack of water with dry ice cleaning. A consideration that was not brought up. Condensation, High humidity levels exacerbate. Also, on the note of oxygen deprivation 5lbs of dry ice is the same amount of co2 as 1000 people breathing.

Where does the dirt and grime go?

[@digitalparadigms]

You know, where all your missing socks are, the dark side of the moon.

[@ScottAles]

All forms of cleaning are the same. You're just moving dirt from one place to another. In this process, the dirt falls to the ground or any horizontal surface. Initially, most of it is atomized. But eventually it succumbs to gravity which is why we perform the work in a container space like a paint booth but the opposite. A paint booth is meant to keep dirt out. Our booth is specifically and specially designed to keep the dirt in!

[@viperjet7655]

Yes but you can move the dirt through the air from the drivers seat to the passenger seat with this machine. Your car is ready bro. Ya we vaporized that pile of dog shit in he back seat. We froze dat bitch then blew it up.
