Printing presses collect ink residue, paper dust and glue buildup over time, which can reduce print quality and cause jams. Regular maintenance and cleaning of printing presses is necessary to prevent stains, clogged rollers and uneven printing. Traditional cleaning methods using solvents or mechanical scrubbing techniques can be time-consuming and cause damage to delicate parts. Cleaning a printing press is precision work. Ink residue, paper dust and oil accumulate quickly and can negatively affect the printing quality and life of the press. Fortunately, there is a quick, safe and damage-free solution: printing press cleaning with dry ice.
Dry ice blasting offers an efficient and safe solution to thoroughly clean printing presses without the use of water, chemicals or abrasives. By removing stubborn contamination without causing wear, the printing press remains in optimal condition and the life of machine components is extended.

How does it work?
In dry ice blasting , CO₂ pellets are blown onto the surface at high speed. They sublimate on impact (go from solid to gaseous form) releasing dirt without leaving moisture or residue.
