Dry ice blaster for the pharmaceutical industry YGP7X

for the food industryfor cleaningautomotive

Overview
A dry ice blasting cleaning machine uses high-pressure air to accelerate -78.5°C dry ice pellets that remove surface contaminants by thermal shock and rapid sublimation. Pellets expand on impact to break adhesion without damaging substrates. Compared with water or solvents, dry ice cleaning eliminates dismantling and secondary wastewater during plant maintenance.

Applications

• Automotive maintenance: removes carbon deposits from intake valves, combustion chambers and chassis components.
• Industrial molds: strips residual resin, release agents and clears vents on injection and die-casting molds.
• Food & pharmaceutical lines: cleans baking trays and conveyor belts without toxic chemicals.
• Electronics & power: provides waterless cleaning for cabinets, PCB residues and robotic cells.

Field case (downtime example)

• The problem: 12 injection lines required 8 hours per line for manual chemical washing during teardown.
• The solution: deployed a dry ice cleaner with dual-particle feeding and cutter to switch between 3 mm pellets and 0.2 mm micro-particles.
• The result: cleaning time reduced to 2.5 hours per line without mold cooling or dismantling, saving significant operating cost.

Pro tips & operational notes

• For delicate electronics or fine 3C molds, crush dry ice into 0.1–0.2 mm micro-particles and reduce blast pressure to ~0.2–0.4 MPa.
• Keep compressed air dry, preheat inlet filters to avoid blockages and always use high-purity dry ice pellets.
• Operators must wear thermal gloves, face shields and hearing protection when working with cold, high-pressure equipment.

Key technical parameters to check before buying

• Air pressure: 0.1–1.6 MPa depending on duty and model.
• Air flow rate: 0.8–12.0 m³/min depending on model.
• Ice feed rate: 0–3.6 kg/min adjustable.
• Ice output: standard 2.5–3 mm pellets; micro 0.1–0.2 mm for delicate work.
• Best uses: engine carbon removal, heavy mold and plant maintenance, 3C deburring and fine mold cleaning.

FAQ (selected)

• How to avoid blockages? Keep compressed air dry, preheat inlet filters and use high-purity pellets.
• Is it safe for delicate surfaces? Yes when using micro-particles and reduced pressure to avoid substrate damage.
• Can I produce dry ice on site? Yes; on-site pelletizers (30–300 kg/h) are commonly used where supply is unreliable.
