Electrical equipment
Dry ice is non-conductive once it sublimates and leaves no moisture, which makes it suitable for cleaning electrical equipment – but only after the equipment has been de-energised, isolated and tested by a licensed electrician.
01
What we clean
- Switchboards and switchgear enclosures
- Electric motors and windings
- Generators and alternators
- Transformers (external surfaces)
- Control cabinets
02
Why dry ice
- No water or chemical residue left behind
- Removes conductive dust and grime
- Can reduce dismantling of motors and enclosures
- Work only proceeds under the site's isolation permit
Please note: We do not do electrical work. Isolation, testing and re-energising must be carried out by a licensed electrician engaged by the site.

Settings & limits
Pellet size, pressure and what it won’t do
| Pellet size | Selected for your surface after a test area |
| Pressure range | Set on site from a test area and recorded on your job report |
| Won’t remove | Rust, mill scale, etched or burnt-in stains and fully cured, well-bonded coatings |
| Substrates to test first | Soft timbers, renders and heritage masonry, thin plastics and films, painted or labelled surfaces |
We publish only figures we have tested. Until then, settings are confirmed by a test area on your equipment.
