Dry Ice Blasting Requirements for Automotive Detailing

IceRocket Dry Ice Blasting Setup - Automotive detailing

There is a lot that goes into detailing a car and maintaining, or even enhancing, the value. Same goes for what is needed for a successful dry ice blasting setup. Below is the equipment we recommend to achieve superior results to blast competition out of the water...without water!

 

Air Requirements for Dry Ice Blasting

Quality air is essential for achieving optimal performance from your dry ice blaster. This is why we recommend a shop air compressor, air treatment, and a sufficiently sized air supply line. 

  1. Air Compressor - we recommend a 15HP air compressor, minimum, with a storage tank.
  2. Air Treatment - dry air is a must. Dry air keeps the dry ice from clumping and clogging in the blast hose. We recommend a refrigerant dryer (sized to match HP of compressor), desiccant air dryer, water separator, or one of our after coolers
  3. Air Supply line - the air supply line requirements will vary depending on which dry ice blaster you purchase from Cold Jet. Be sure to check the product specifications, but our blasters require a 3/4" or 1/2" air supply line.

Spare Parts Kit

We won't sugar coat it...our machines are mechanical. This means that things wear or break through usage. We recommend every customer has a spare parts kit on hand, that way when something does happen they can quickly fix it and get back up and running.
