Dry ice blasting for mining equipment & heavy machinery
A haul truck, excavator or processing machine is not one cleaning surface. Identify the component, the deposit and the next maintenance task before choosing dry ice blasting.
The maintenance objective
Start with the component.
Suitable grease and dust removal can expose equipment for inspection without introducing wash water. The component condition and maintenance plan determine the cleaning scope and frequency.
Discuss the component, site requirements and maintenance window with M&S. Suitability, availability and any specialist involvement are confirmed before work is agreed.

Planning & controls
Define the work.
Protect the asset.
Confirm the exact asset and isolation boundary with the site. Cleaning in place is not permission to clean machinery while running.
Include access, ventilation, nearby work, containment and the available outage window. Confirm regional travel and site acceptance before scheduling the job.
