    Dry Ice Blasters

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Dry Ice Blasters.
    The cleanest, safest way to blast. These blasters turn liquid CO2 into dry ice pellets that remove paint, grease, and dirt—without releasing harmful abrasive media into the surrounding air. Since the pellets turn to gas on contact, there's no media left behind to clean up.
    Ideal for light surface prep on metals, the dry ice pellets won't scratch or etch your material. Adjust the pressure and spray width for small or large surfaces, and fine-tune your settings in real time using feedback from the display. Do a test run before using these blasters on soft plastics, since the pellets may leave behind a texture. Opt for a blasting setup with conventional media for tough removal of heavy coatings, corrosion, or scale.
    You don't need to order pellets to get started. The built-in pelletizer converts liquid CO2 into blasting media as you work. Connect a 50 lb. or 75 lb. CO2 tank with siphon tubes (sold separately). The system draws CO2 only when you pull the trigger, so quick jobs won't drain your tank. Any unused CO2 can be stored for later jobs. Set these blasters up in any well-ventilated space.
