Why Dry-Ice for Transport Dry-Ice Cleaning?
Fleet assets accumulate grease, brake dust, and debris that compromise reliability and cabin experience. Wet washing risks corrosion, trapped moisture, and extended drying windows.
CO₂ pellets accelerate to high velocity and flash-sublimate on impact. The thermal/acoustic micro-impulse fractures soils and lifts them from metal, plastics, textiles, and wiring without moisture or conductive residue.
Systems and cabins return to service quickly. You lower fire and fault risk, improve air quality, and shorten maintenance windows with less consumable handling and cleanup.
Key takeaways
- Fleet assets accumulate grease, brake dust, and debris that compromise reliability and cabin experience.
- CO₂ pellets accelerate to high velocity and flash-sublimate on impact.
- Systems and cabins return to service quickly.

Core Benefits
Non-conductive near electrics
Safely clean panels, sensors, and harnesses without causing shorts.
Immediate reuse
No moisture—vehicles and cabins return to service right after cleaning.
Lower fire risk
Remove grease and lint from brakes, fans, and exhaust paths.
Better air quality
Restore HVAC performance and reduce odors without chemical residues.
Minimal masking/teardown
Target soils in place; fewer covers and reassembly steps.
Cleaner shops
No slurry, wastewater, or grit disposal—CO₂ vaporizes on impact.
Predictable cycles
Short, repeatable procedures fit into existing maintenance windows.
Lower total cost
Cut labor, consumables, rework, and corrosion-related repairs.

“We stopped pressure washing panels and waiting overnight to dry. Controls stay clean, cabins smell better, and buses roll out on time.”
