Dry ice blasting for paint booths

Paint booths get contaminated with every cycle: paint dust, lacquer residue and deposits on walls, grilles and ventilation systems. Dry ice blasting restores them like new without solvent, without water, without disassembly, and with no risk of contaminating future applications.

No solvent No disassembly Zero residue Immediate return to production
The problem

A dirty booth means finish defects

  • Paint residue on the walls redeposits onto parts being painted: inclusions and finish defects
  • Clogged grilles and filters reduce airflow and degrade finish quality
  • Traditional chemical cleaning leaves solvent residue that contaminates future applications
  • Disassembling elements for cleaning means at least 4 to 8 hours of production stoppage
  • Solvents generate hazardous waste that must be treated and paid for
The dry ice blasting solution

Spotless booth, production maintained

  • Complete removal of paint residue with no trace and no contamination left behind
  • Cleaning in place of grilles, walls and structures with no disassembly
  • Zero solvent, zero residue: the booth is ready to operate immediately after the intervention
  • Downtime reduced to 1 to 3 hours depending on booth size
  • Zero chemical waste: only the loosened deposits need to be collected

Frequently asked questions

Dry ice blasting for paint booths

No. Dry ice sublimates instantly, disappearing as gas with no trace left behind. The only residue present after the intervention is the loosened paint deposit, easily vacuumed. The booth is clean, dry and ready to operate immediately.
Depending on booth size and contamination level, an intervention generally takes between 1 and 4 hours. A standard coachwork booth is cleaned in 2 to 3 hours, considerably less than the 6 to 8 hours needed for traditional chemical cleaning with disassembly.
Yes. Dry ice blasting is effective on all types of paint residue: solvent-based paints, water-based paints, powder coatings, varnishes, UV lacquers. Icetec adapts pressure and temperature depending on the type of deposit and the substrate.
For a high-production-volume booth, we recommend a quarterly intervention. For booths with more moderate production, a half-yearly cleaning is generally sufficient. Icetec offers recurring maintenance contracts with a preferential rate.
Yes. Icetec operates everywhere in Belgium (Wallonia, Brussels, Flanders) as well as in Luxembourg. Our technicians travel with their full Cryonomic equipment. Travel costs are included in the personalised quote.
