The Difference Between Dry Ice Block Cleaning and Dry Ice Pellet Cleaning Machine

Published on 14 October 2025 at 16:45

Dry ice cleaning machines, also known as dry ice blasting machines, is a highly efficient and environmentally friendly cleaning machine. They use high-pressure compressed air to accelerate dry ice particles and then spray them to clean objects. The high-speed -78°C dry ice pellets freezes dirt and breaks its adhesion, then instantly sublimate and expand, generating a powerful peeling force to remove dirt quickly and achieve efficient cleaning results. Dry ice cleaning is a physical cleaning method that is 100% chemical-free and requires no secondary treatment.

Dry ice pellet cleaning machines are a common type of dry ice blasting machine that uses high-density 3mm dry ice pellets as a blasting medium. 3mm dry ice particles have a high density and strong impact, can remove dirt quickly and effectively. On the other hand, Dry ice block cleaning machines use dry ice block as a blasting medium. The dry ice block is generally 250*150*150mm, 250*140*125mm, or 250*125*125mm, approximately 5kg per piece and having a lower density than 3mm dry ice pellets. Inside the dry ice block blasting machine, The dry ice block is scraped into small dry ice flakes by a scraper before being sprayed onto surfaces. These dry ice snow have a gentler impact than 3mm dry ice particles, can remove dirt effectively without damaging the surface of cleaning objects.

Compared to dry ice particle cleaning machines, dry ice snow blasting machines have a lower impact force and are more suitable for cleaning high-precision objects. For example, they can remove metal burrs from drill bits without blunting the cutting edge; remove flux residue from PCBs without damaging solder joints; and remove burrs from plastic pipes without leaving minor scratches.
