How does the dry ice blasting machine clean?
The dry ice pellets hit the object to be cleaned. The surface is shock-frozen in a fraction of a second. Due to the sudden thermo shock generated on the surface to be cleaned, the coating/dirt contracts, becomes brittle and cracks. Due to the cracking of the surface, the pellets can reach under the dirt and remove it.
The cleaning is virtually non-abrasive, and the surface quality is maintained.
