The method
Dry ice cleans through three powerful actions:
Compressed air propels dry ice pellets against the surface, physically removing unwanted buildup without scratching the underlying substrate.
At -109°F, the extreme cold of the dry ice causes warm contaminants to become brittle. Because different materials contract at different rates, this thermal differential breaks the bond between the buildup and the surface.
Upon impact, the dry ice pellets absorb heat and instantly vaporize, expanding to roughly 800 times their solid volume. This microscopic gas expansion acts like a shockwave, sweeping the loosened particles cleanly away from the surface.
Why dry ice
Dry ice turns to gas on impact—no sand, water, or spent media to clean up. Only the removed buildup is left to sweep up.
Cleans food and beverage equipment without adding water or chemical cleaning residue.
No water cleanup for delicate electronics and machines, and electrical equipment once it is de-energized and locked out.
Get your project cleaned without solvents, caustic degreasers, or chemical strippers.
Removes buildup without the surface profiling that abrasive blasting media can leave behind.
Industries we serve
In addition, we handle all types of industrial dry ice blasting projects.
Expert dry ice blasting safely eliminates the combustible overspray and residue that routinely accumulate in paint system exhaust stacks, fans, and caps—satisfying insurer, safety team, and facility maintenance requirements.
How it works
Expert dry ice blasting safely cleans heavy grease, carbon, and manufacturing residue from equipment, machinery and production lines without causing abrasive wear or requiring disassembly.

Getting started
Whether you manage a paint line, press, packaging room, or facility rehab, we use the same practical quoting process.
Step 1
Work begins by understanding your goal or problem. We discuss the need, review photos or video you provide, and often schedule an on-site walkthrough.
Step 2
Once we understand the objective, we develop a cleaning plan. It summarizes the work, timeline, access and equipment needed, and items you may be able to provide, such as plant compressed air or existing aerial lifts.
Step 3
You receive a clear written quote to review with your team before deciding to move forward.
Applications
Indigo brings dry ice blasting to paint systems, food plants, printing operations, machinery floors, and building rehab projects.
