Dry Ice Blasting Services (Pty) Ltd

What Dry Ice Blasting Services (Pty) Ltd does

Dry Ice Blasting Services (Pty) Ltd is a Pretoria-headquartered industrial cleaning company founded in 1994 that operates the longest-established dry ice blasting service in South Africa and broader Africa. The company uses solid CO2 pellets at -78.5°C propelled at up to 300 m/s through a pressurised airstream; on impact the pellets sublimate from solid to gas, removing contaminants via thermal shock without abrasive damage and leaving no secondary waste. Services span automotive and transport (including vintage and supercar restoration), food and beverage (HACCP- and FDA/USDA/EPA-compliant decontamination removing 99%+ biofilm), power generation and electrical infrastructure (Eskom substations, turbines, switchgear), mining, printing and packaging, and electronics. Field services are delivered on-site across all South African provinces and pan-African markets including Kenya, Seychelles, Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, and Zimbabwe.

The company monetises through three revenue streams: on-site field services (dry ice blasting, sponge blasting, industrial painting), direct equipment sales of multiple brands plus its own proprietary Brilliant Blaster (South African-designed and built, 2-year warranty, fully pneumatic, stainless steel 304 frame), and aftermarket service and repair. Customer acquisition is sales-led and consultative, using a website quote request system, sample demonstration offers, YouTube video content, and blog/news content. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with off-balance-sheet financing offered for equipment purchases. The firm is privately held, Level 2 B-BBEE certified, and operates with 11 employees from its Silverton, Pretoria headquarters.
