Boynton Beach dry ice blasting
Boynton Beach work comes to us the same way most of it does: something is coated in build-up and cannot be sanded, soaked or dissolved.
How the work runs here
Everything arrives on the van: compressor, hose, operator and containment. It is also why nothing has to be crated up and driven across town, the work happens where the machine already sits in Boynton Beach.
Solid to gas on impact. Nothing settles into a bearing, nothing runs toward a drain, and the only residue is what was already on the part.

Questions from Boynton Beach
What do we have to provide?
Just access and parking. There is no tap to find, no drain to use and nothing of yours to plug into.
Will you work during a shutdown?
Usually. Tell us the window you have, including overnight or a planned shutdown, and we will tell you honestly what fits in it.
What kinds of jobs do you take here?
It ranges from a single restoration project to a plant maintenance window. The method does not change much.
Does distance affect the price?
Sometimes, on the longer runs. Either way it is discussed before anyone commits.
How do I get started?
Describe the job and send a photo or two. Giancarlo or Kenny will call you, not a scheduler.
Do you cover Boynton Beach?
We do. The whole point of a mobile setup is that Boynton Beach is no further than any other stop on the schedule.
Conditions around Boynton Beach
The heat matters more than people expect: baked-on residue cures harder in a South Florida summer. That is why so much of the work is removing what has bonded to a surface without taking the surface with it.
Light industrial, automotive and marine make up most of what we are called out for. In every case the truck brings its own air and its own containment, so you are not adapting the site to suit the method.
With no slurry to contain and no media to recover, a confined Palm Beach County site stops being a problem.
What comes off
The deposits we see most
Most jobs start with one of these. The details differ, but the job is always to separate a deposit from what it is stuck to.
- Food residue
Carbonized product build-up in a plant where neither standing water nor a chemical film is acceptable.
- Grease and oil
Oil film is the layer everything else sticks to. Remove it and half the job is already done.
- Carbon and soot
Heat-bonded black deposit. Because heat put it there, a sudden cold front is what breaks its grip.
- Adhesive and sealant
Sound deadening, tape residue, gasket material and sealant that has cured onto a face it was never meant to stay on.
- Resin and mold release
Production residue cured onto tooling. Solvent softens it and leaves its own film; the ice lifts it and takes nothing with it.
- Paint and coatings
Taken off in a controlled way when what is underneath matters more than speed.
- Salt and corrosion product
Salt deposit and the oxidation it starts. Anything abrasive removes the protection along with the salt.
How a job runs
What happens once you call
The process is simple, and we would rather you know it before we show up than wonder about it while we work.
- We blast, then clean up
Cleanup is short because there is so little of it. With no blasting media to recover, the work at the end is gathering the contaminant and leaving the space usable.
- You look before we pack up
If something needs another pass we do it then, on site, while the rig is still running. That is a better outcome for everyone than a callback.
- You describe the job
We start with what it is and what is on it. Whether it can come offline matters as much as the contaminant, and a wrong-tool answer is one we give up front rather than after the invoice.
- We look at access and containment
In a small enclosed bay, the question is mostly where the dust and grime will settle. We protect the floor and nearby surfaces, then point everything we remove toward one spot.
- We test a small area
Settings get proven somewhere nobody looks before they get used somewhere everybody does. What is correct on cast iron will mark aluminum, so the test is not a formality.
The comparison
How this compares to the usual methods
- Hand scraping
Slow, inconsistent, and the tool marks the surface. Fine for a small area, unworkable across a machine.
- Media blasting
Effective and indiscriminate. On soft metal or a finished surface it does damage you then have to fix.
- Pressure washing
Forces water where water should not go, looms, bearings, seams, and then the job stops while it dries.
- Solvent and degreaser
It loosens the mess and leaves its own behind, along with fumes and something to dispose of.
- Dry ice
Thermal contraction cracks the bond between deposit and surface, then the pellet gasses off. Nothing abrasive, nothing wet, nothing left.
What happens in your space
Masking happens first. Whatever is adjacent and vulnerable gets covered before the hose is picked up.
The gas the ice turns into is the same carbon dioxide we breathe out, and it leaves nothing on the surface. In a closed room it can crowd out air, though, so we open things up before starting.
The process is loud. Hearing protection is standard for anyone in the working area, which is why you will see ear defenders in most of our photographs.
Nothing wet goes onto your equipment, but cold metal in warm air can still pick up condensation. It clears as the part comes back up to temperature.
Tell us what needs cleaning.
We only need the basics to get started: what it is and where. Add a photo if you have one. You will be talking to Giancarlo or Kenny.
