Why Choose Dry Ice Blasting Cleaning? AUTOOL HTS708 Reveals the Secrets!
In the fields of automotive repair, industrial cleaning, and high-end maintenance, traditional cleaning methods (such as high-pressure water guns and chemical solvents) often pose issues such as damage to parts, environmental pollution, and low efficiency. However, dry ice blasting technology, with its non-destructive, eco-friendly, and efficient features, is becoming the new favorite in the industry!
As a professional supplier of the AUTOOL HTS708 Dry Ice Blasting Machine, we will take you on an in-depth journey to explore this cutting-edge technology and address common questions: How does dry ice blasting machine work? How does it compare to high-pressure water guns? How to use it correctly? And why is it not suitable for removing rust?
1.Working Principle of Dry Ice Blasting Machine
The AUTOOL HTS708 Dry Ice Blasting Machine uses solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) as the cleaning medium. Its cleaning process combines physical impact, low-temperature embrittlement, and sublimation:
- High-pressure Air Acceleration: Dry ice particles (13mm in diameter) are accelerated to supersonic speeds by compressed air (210 bar), and strike the dirt at high velocity.
- Low-temperature Brittle Effect: Dry ice has an extremely low temperature (-78.5°C), which causes oil, grease, and other residues to rapidly freeze and become brittle, losing their adhesion.
- Sublimation Detachment: Upon impact, the dry ice instantly vaporizes (solid to gas), expanding its volume 800 times, completely detaching the dirt without leaving any residue or pollution!
The entire process requires no water or chemical solvents, achieving truly zero wastewater and zero corrosion!
2.Effects of Dry Ice Blasting on Automotive Cleaning
The AUTOOL HTS708 Dry Ice Blasting Machine is particularly suitable for the following automotive cleaning scenarios:
🔹Engine Bay Deep Cleaning — Removes stubborn grease, carbon deposits without damaging electrical circuits or sensors (dry ice is non-conductive).
🚗 Applicable Vehicles: Gasoline vehicles, electric vehicles, race cars, antique cars, industrial machinery, and more!

4.How to properly use the AUTOOL HTS708 Dry Ice Blasting Machine?
📌 Operating steps:
- Add dry ice particles (recommended size: 3mm).
- Adjust air pressure (for oil stains: 3~5 bar, for stubborn stains, increase up to 8 bar).
3.Blasting cleaning:
- Hold the nozzle 10~30cm away from the surface, and move the nozzle at a 45° angle while blasting.
- For tough stains, treat them multiple times, and avoid prolonged direct impact.
4.Clean up residues: After the dry ice sublimates, only the removed dirt remains. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove it.
⚠ Precautions
❌ Do not directly touch dry ice — It can cause frostbite!
❌ Avoid prolonged blasting on thin metal parts — Extreme low temperatures may cause the metal to become brittle.
❌ Handle electronic components with care — High-pressure airflow may damage fragile parts.
5.Why can’t dry ice blasting remove rust?
Many users ask, “Can dry ice blasting remove rust?” The answer is no! Here’s why:
🔴 Rust is a product of oxidation, not surface contamination
- Dry ice blasting primarily removes surface contaminants (oil stains, glue marks, carbon deposit).
- Rust (Fe₂O₃) is a structural change of the metal after oxidation, essentially “polishing” the metal surface, and dry ice cannot reverse this.
🔴 Rust requires chemical or mechanical treatment
- Chemical rust removal: Use acidic cleaners (e.g., phosphoric acid) to dissolve the oxide layer.
- Mechanical rust removal: Sandpaper grinding or sandblasting.
🚫 Dry ice blasting is ineffective for rust, and forcing it may damage the metal surface!
6.Conclusion: AUTOOL HTS708 is the future of automotive cleaning!
