Golden Lakes dry ice blasting
Golden Lakes work comes to us the same way most of it does: something is coated in build-up and cannot be sanded, soaked or dissolved.
What a job looks like locally
We work on driveways, in yards and inside shops that cannot take water on the floor. That is the practical reason a mobile rig beats hauling equipment somewhere: the machine never leaves Golden Lakes.
Dry ice sublimates on contact, so there is no grit, no slurry and no secondary media to sweep up afterward. What is left on the floor is the grease or carbon that came off, and collecting that is part of the job.

Questions from Golden Lakes
Do you actually come out to Golden Lakes?
Yes. Golden Lakes is inside our regular working area, and the rig travels to the job rather than the other way round.
What do you need from us on site?
Just access and parking. There is no tap to find, no drain to use and nothing of yours to plug into.
How flexible are the hours?
Often yes, a lot of industrial work happens overnight or during a planned outage. Give us the window and we will say straight away whether it is realistic.
What sort of work do you get called for?
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.
What is the first step?
Describe the job and send a photo or two. Giancarlo or Kenny will call you, not a scheduler.
What the climate does here
Afternoon storms mean equipment that lives outside is wet, then hot, then wet again. It is also why an abrasive method costs you twice: once in the cleaning, again in the finish you removed.
Residential garages and small shops sit alongside the commercial work on any given week. Whatever the setting, the rig arrives with its own compressor and containment, so nothing about the site has to change to accommodate us.
No runoff and no residual grit, which matters more than it sounds on a Palm Beach County job with neighbors close by.
What comes off
What this takes off
The method does not care much what the contaminant is, only that it sits on top of something. Here is the usual list.
- Ink and printing residue
Ink and coating on anilox and press rollers, surfaces where changing the texture changes the print.
- Food residue
Burnt-on product, fat and sugar on processing gear, with no chemical residue left on a contact surface.
- Grease and oil
The greasy base coat that traps grit and dust. It releases early and takes the loose material with it.
- Carbon and soot
Heat-bonded black deposit. Because heat put it there, a sudden cold front is what breaks its grip.
- Adhesive and sealant
Bonded material that outlived whatever it was bonding, usually harder to shift than the part it is on.
- Resin and mold release
Release agent and resin build-up on tooling, where a solvent fix trades one residue for another.
- Paint and coatings
Removed selectively where the substrate underneath has to survive, which rules out most abrasive approaches.
How a job runs
The sequence, start to finish
There is no mystery to how these jobs run, and no part of it we would rather you did not ask about.
- We look at access and containment
The layout decides the method more often than the contaminant does. We work out reach and containment before quoting anything.
- We test a small area
Pressure and pellet size get dialed in on an inconspicuous spot before we touch anything visible. Painted parts, soft alloys and older finishes all behave differently, and the right setting on one is the wrong setting on another.
- We blast, then clean up
The ice is gone on impact. What is on the floor afterward came off your machine, and clearing it is ours to do.
- You look before we pack up
Walk it with us before the hose goes away. A second pass while the compressor is still running costs nothing; a return visit costs us both.
- You describe the job
What the equipment is, what is on it, where it lives, and whether it can be shut down. Photos tell us more than a paragraph. If dry ice is the wrong tool we say so on that call rather than after taking your money.
The comparison
What the alternatives actually do
- Solvent and degreaser
Chemistry works, but you inherit ventilation, waste handling and a film on the surface.
- Hand scraping
Fine on a patch, hopeless on a machine, and the blade leaves its own evidence.
- Media blasting
Grit removes material to do its job, so a machined face or a plated part pays for the cleaning.
- Pressure washing
It is fast and it is wet, which is fine outdoors and unusable on anything with a winding in it.
- Dry ice
The deposit shrinks away from the surface it is stuck to and releases. The ice is gone before it can do any harm.
Before we turn the rig on
Solid carbon dioxide leaves no residue at all. What it does do is displace air, so an enclosed space gets ventilated as part of the job rather than as a precaution added later.
Expect noise. Everybody inside the working area wears hearing protection, us included.
Surfaces come out cold. On some jobs that means waiting a few minutes before handling, and on others it means condensation as the part returns to ambient temperature.
Everything the rig needs arrives with it. No tap, no drain, no outlet.
Describe what you are dealing with.
A short description and a location is enough to start. Add photos if you can. You will speak to an owner, not a scheduler.
