Industrial dry ice blasting · Alberta & B.C.

Clean equipment. No grit, no water, no secondary waste.

Chillys cleans heat exchangers, fin-fan coolers, electrical gear and process equipment for plants, refineries and mines across Western Canada, often without taking it out of service.

Fin-fan coolers

Tube bundles back to spec

Dry ice gets deep into the bundle and takes the build-up with it, with no bent fins and no residue. Clean coolers run fewer fan hours and lower outlet temperatures.

Why dry ice

A better way to clean industrial equipment

  • Clean on-line

    Much of the work can be done with equipment still in service, so a cleaning job doesn't have to wait for a shutdown.

  • Non-abrasive

    Dry ice won't etch or wear metal, so fins, plated parts, soft alloys, wire insulation and circuit boards come through undamaged.

  • No secondary waste

    The pellets sublimate on impact. You dispose of the contaminant only, with no sand, grit or wash water to collect.

  • Dry and non-conductive

    No water and no solvents, so it is suited to electrical gear and water-sensitive areas, and crews aren't handling chemicals.
