Equipment Guide · Safety-Critical
Dry-ice blasting cleans surfaces by firing dry-ice pellets at high speed — non-abrasive and residue-free, ideal for mold, soot and industrial cleaning. It involves compressed air, very cold material and CO2 gas, so safety is essential. This is an overview; operation requires proper PPE and training.
Safety first: This equipment can be hazardous if operated incorrectly. This guide is a general overview — always follow the unit's manual, use proper PPE, and contact Allied Rental Company's team for hands-on guidance. It does not replace professional training.
Ensure strong ventilation and put on insulated gloves, eye/face protection, hearing protection and appropriate respiratory protection.
Connect the blaster to a compressed-air supply that meets the unit's pressure and volume requirements.
Load pellets into the hopper following the unit's instructions.
Start at lower pressure and test on an inconspicuous area to dial in settings for the surface.
Hold the nozzle at the recommended distance and angle, keeping it moving across the surface. Let the sublimation do the work.
Relieve air pressure and let remaining pellets sublimate in a ventilated space.
