Industrial equipment accumulates oil, carbon, dust, and process buildup that can reduce performance. Dry ice blasting removes contamination without water, harsh chemicals, or abrasive residue, while minimizing disassembly and downtime.
Because the dry ice sublimates on impact, there is no secondary blasting media left behind.
It is especially effective for sensitive equipment and applications such as air-cooled heat exchangers, where restoring clean surfaces can help improve airflow and heat transfer.
Dry ice blasting is a non-abrasive cleaning method that uses compressed air to accelerate dry ice pellets toward contaminated surfaces. The pellets break apart buildup, lift residue through thermal shock, and sublimate into CO₂ gas, leaving no secondary blasting media behind.
Vibe.FX specializes in cleaning air-cooled heat exchangers (ACHEs), where dirt, debris, oil, and process buildup can restrict airflow and reduce heat-transfer efficiency. Dry ice blasting allows us to clean delicate finned surfaces effectively while minimizing damage, water use, disassembly, and downtime.
Dry ice blasting is a versatile cleaning solution used across industries where downtime, contamination, and equipment integrity matter.
It is often the starting point for improving the performance of an air-cooled heat exchanger. By removing buildup from finned surfaces, Vibe.FX can help restore airflow and heat-transfer efficiency while giving our team the opportunity to assess the broader condition of the fan and cooling system.
From there, our support can extend well beyond cleaning. Vibe.FX provides fan inspections, troubleshooting, vibration analysis, alignment, balancing, maintenance, repairs, component changeouts, and complete ACHE support to help improve reliability and reduce the risk of unplanned downtime.
What begins as an ACHE cleaning service can become a more complete reliability solution, addressing both the cleanliness and mechanical performance of the system.
