Dry ice blasting works as a system.
Stable compressed dry air
Pressure alone is not enough. Choose a compressor, tank, dryer, and filtration setup that can sustain the required CFM through the hose and nozzle.

Pellet supply and storage
Use fresh 3 mm dry ice pellets. For frequent jobs, pair on-demand pellet production with insulated storage to reduce sublimation loss before cleaning starts.
