Dry Ice Blasting Equipment Rentals

Rent dry ice blasting equipment from PA Dry Ice for your own cleaning projects — a non-abrasive, non-conductive and environmentally responsible cleaning method, for daily, weekly or monthly rentals.

Benefits

Benefits of Dry Ice Blasting

Results vary by contaminant and surface. Compare cleaning methods on our Why Choose Dry Ice Blasting? page.

Non-abrasive

Cleans most surfaces without the wear of grit or sand blasting.

Non-conductive

Dry ice leaves no moisture, which is why it's used around electrical components.

No water or secondary media

The dry ice sublimates, leaving only the removed contaminant to clean up.

Clean in place

Equipment and molds can often be cleaned without disassembly.

Checklist

Before You Rent

Operator dry ice blasting industrial machinery

Compressed air

Blasting machines need a supply of clean, dry compressed air — typically 12 to 100+ CFM depending on nozzle size and how aggressive the cleaning needs to be.

Power

Many units use a standard 110V/120V outlet for the dosing motor and control panel. Fully pneumatic units may be an option — ask when you request a quote.

Blasting media

Machines blast with dry ice pellets. Tell us your application so pellet size and quantity can be planned. See our dry ice products.

Equipment compatibility

Your compressor, air hoses and fittings need to match the rental machine's requirements. Share what you have on site so compatibility can be confirmed.

Preparation

Plan for ventilation (CO₂ builds up in enclosed spaces), hearing and eye protection, cold-resistant gloves, and containment for removed debris. See dry ice safety.

Good fit?

When Renting Makes Sense

Renting may be a good fit when

  • Your team wants to do the cleaning itself
  • Water, chemicals or grit media are a problem for the equipment or area
  • Molds, lines or machinery need cleaning in place
  • You have a defined project or maintenance window

Plan carefully or consider another method when

  • You can't supply enough clean, dry compressed air
  • The area can't be ventilated
  • Thick, wet mud or heavy cured concrete is the main contaminant
  • You'd like to see results first — request a Demonstration

FAQs

Equipment Rental Questions

Does PA Dry Ice rent dry ice blasting machines?

Yes. PA Dry Ice rents dry ice blasting equipment to customers for their own cleaning projects, on daily, weekly, monthly or longer-term rentals. Availability is confirmed with each quote.

What air compressor do I need?

Dry ice blasting needs clean, dry compressed air — typically 12 to 100+ CFM depending on nozzle size and how aggressive the cleaning is. The exact requirement for your rental is confirmed with your quote.

What power does a blasting machine need?

Many units run their dosing motor and controls from a standard 110V/120V outlet. Fully pneumatic units may be an option; ask when you request a quote.

What can I clean with a rented machine?

Common uses include molds, production lines, food processing equipment, electrical components, paint and coating removal, and fire, smoke or mold remediation. Results depend on the contaminant and surface, so test a small area first.

How much does a rental cost?

Pricing depends on the equipment, rental duration and location. We provide a quote after reviewing your request; we don't publish standard rental rates.

Can I see dry ice blasting before I rent?

Yes — request a Demonstration to see dry ice blasting on your own surfaces and contaminants before deciding.

Is dry ice blasting safe to use indoors?

It can be, with precautions. Dry ice turns into CO₂ gas, so the area needs ventilation and CO₂ awareness. Blasting is loud, and operators need hearing, eye and cold protection. Follow the machine's operating instructions.
