Overview
At Mid America Service Solutions, dry ice blasting is at the core of what we do. It’s an innovative, environmentally friendly cleaning method designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial and commercial facilities. This method uses dry ice pellets made from recaptured CO₂ emissions, making it one of the most sustainable cleaning options available today. Unlike traditional cleaning processes that involve water, solvents, or abrasive materials, dry ice blasting eliminates the need for moisture, heat, or chemicals. This ensures a cleaner, safer, and more efficient work environment.
What's the Benefit?
Our dry ice blast cleaning services are designed to clean faster, better, and more efficiently than traditional methods. Because the process doesn’t involve water, it eliminates the risk of mold or bacteria growth and avoids the time and expense of disassembly and reassembly. This makes it an ideal solution for cleaning hard-to-reach areas, delicate equipment, or surfaces that require a dry, prepared finish for recoating. From aggressive cleaning of tough surfaces to precision cleaning of sensitive equipment, cleaning with dry ice is versatile enough to meet a variety of industrial and commercial needs.
- Dry Ice Blasting is a Very Cost Effective technique to clean heavy machinery and storage facilities.
- Increase Productivity
- Environmentally Friendly
A major benefit of dry ice blasting services is that it allows equipment to be cleaned in place. Since the process is non-abrasive, non-conductive, and requires no disassembly, it can be safely used around sensitive machinery, electrical components, and control panels. This significantly reduces equipment downtime and labor costs, as production doesn’t need to be halted for deep cleaning. The dry ice pellets are strong enough to remove stubborn contaminants, such as grease, oil, adhesives, rust, ink, soot, or biological residue, while still being gentle enough to preserve the integrity of the underlying surface.
Because of its versatility and effectiveness, dry ice blasting is widely used across a broad range of industries. It’s particularly beneficial in environments where cleanliness and hygiene are non-negotiable, such as food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, power generation, aerospace, automotive, and electronics. In food-grade and GMP-compliant settings, it helps eliminate microbial growth and sanitizes surfaces without the use of water, reducing the risk of mold or bacteria. In manufacturing, it cleans production lines, molds, tools, and industrial equipment without wear and tear.

Why Choose Us
Save Time And Money With Dry Ice Blasting
Dry ice blasting is also one of the most environmentally friendly cleaning methods on the market. The dry ice used in this process is formed from recaptured CO₂ emissions, making it a sustainable choice. The process generates no secondary waste, heat, or additional media to dispose of, simplifying cleanup while reducing environmental impact.
Faster Cleaning
dry ice blasting machines have the capability to clean in all the nooks and crannies other machines can’t reach, which means you might not have to disassemble your equipment
Decreased Clean Up Time
Since the dry ice turns back into gas on impact, there’s no secondary waste to clean up with dry ice blasting
Superior Cleaning Power
Get the heavy duty elbow grease you need that’s strong enough to give you that industrial grade cleaning without damaging what’s underneath!

What makes dry ice blasting different?
One of the standout advantages of dry ice blasting is that it generates zero secondary waste. The dry ice pellets sublimate instantly upon contact with the surface. transforming directly from solid to gas, leaving only the dislodged debris to be removed. This dramatically reduces cleanup time and eliminates the need for water containment or chemical disposal. Because of this, there’s no risk of water-induced damage, no risk of chemical contamination, and no need for extra cleanup crews or costly post-process waste management.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Dry ice blasting is a cleaning method that works by leveraging non-abrasive dry ice media. A blasting machine sends a cold jet of carbon dioxide cleansing agents to deliver a sparkly-clean result no matter the surface. Dry ice is a non-conductive and non corrosive media, so you can even use it on electronic equipment without worry!
A dry ice blaster utilizes a stream of compressed air and dry ice pellets to remove dirt and grime in a non-destructive manner. Traditional blasting equipment can be abrasive to the surface of the item, but this isn’t the case with dry ice blasting technology.
The dry ice blasting method uses pressurized air and a jet of dry ice to cleanse a surface, which means it’s a dry process, not a wet one. You don’t have to wait longer to get back to work because you’re waiting for equipment to dry like you would if you used water.
A dry ice blasting machine like the Cold Jet i3 Microclean, Aero 40FP, Aero 80FP or the SDI Select 60 are a few of the blasting machines by Cold Jet that are commonly found in the field.
Dry ice blasting equipment is used to remove paint that’s failing and many other types of debris on a multitude of surfaces. Blasting systems that use dry ice pelletizers have incredible cleaning power, yet are non toxic, non-abrasive and won’t damage the surface being cleaned. Our dry ice blasting machine can remove paint and graffiti effortlessly.

Dry ice blasting uses dry ice at high-velocity to create an impact in the surface to remove unwanted materials from the substrate. This method is incredibly powerful for removing grease, oil, soot, and many other forms of unwanted build-up.
We use our dry ice blasting techniques in foundries across the United States to remove debris and build-up from permanent molds and core boxes. Dry Ice Blasting drastically reduces downtime and removes mold from the tooling of the machines; meaning they last longer and are more efficient. Our dry ice blasting services are used by numerous automotive and aluminum and steel foundries across the U.S.
Our dry ice blasting process will not damage the substrate. The size of the dry ice pellets and their velocity can be optimized to remove the contaminant while remaining non-abrasive to the substrate. Our process can clean delicate chrome or nickel plated tools, soft aluminum or brass alloys, wire insulation and even circuit boards without causing damage.
Yes, with proper ventilation. Because CO2 is 40% heavier than air, placement of exhaust vents at or near ground level is recommended when blasting in an enclosed area.
