04 Jul 3 Essential Qualities to Look For in Any Dry Ice Blasting Company

Dry ice blasting uses air compressed between 80 and 90 PSI to blast pellets of dry ice at a high velocity to clean a variety of surfaces. Though this service has incredibly effective and proven results, it’s important to choose a provider that meets the quality standards of your industry. Here are just a few qualities to look for in any dry ice blasting provider.

Job Size Capacity
First, it’s important to recognize the inevitable fact that not all ice blasting companies can handle the same size job. Smaller companies may be limited in resources, employees, and experience, while larger companies may be better able to accommodate larger facilities. It’s best to consider the size of your facility, then look for dry ice blasting companies that are used to cleaning larger facilities. This ensures that the company will have plenty of resources and won’t try to stretch beyond their means just to avoid losing a sale.

Travel Distance
Before choosing a company to provide ice blasting solutions, make sure they’re not only willing, but readily able to reach your facility. Not all companies are willing to travel far distances, but the right team should be happily able to accommodate your needs regarding location, even if it’s out of state.

Friendly and Knowledgeable Employees
Finally, it’s critical that the employees of the provider you choose have substantial knowledge and experience. From start to finish, your provider should be able to discuss your specific needs, provide their professional opinion, and abide by all safety procedures during the job itself. For example, while it’s generally harmless, Carbon Dioxide is 40% heavier than the air we breathe and may change atmospheric conditions if the dry ice blasting area is poorly ventilated. Your provider should know all of the proper safety procedures and do their best to help you stay safe.

There’s no denying the fact that no two dry ice cleaning services are exactly alike. With that in mind, these considerations can help you make the most informed decision based on your facility’s size, industry, and sanitation needs.
