SUBLIMA MAX
SUBLIMA MAX was created to make dry ice blasting a truly usable solution across many professional activities. Its strength lies in the balance between performance, ease of operation and practical use.
The system works pneumatically: compressed air carries the dry ice pellets towards the surface to be treated. Upon impact, the dry ice generates a combined thermal, mechanical and sublimation action.
The contaminant is cooled, weakened and detached, while the cleaning medium passes from solid state to gaseous state without leaving liquid residues.
This makes SUBLIMA MAX particularly suitable for companies that want to improve maintenance, professional cleaning and component restoration operations without introducing water or chemical substances into their processes.

Why choose SUBLIMA MAX
SUBLIMA MAX is designed for those who need a professional dry ice blasting machine that is more versatile and higher-performing than compact entry-level models, without immediately moving to larger and more demanding industrial systems.
It is a suitable solution for workshops, maintenance departments, manufacturing companies, professional car detailers, food industries, mold makers, plant overhaul companies and operators who need to work on complex components, sensitive surfaces or hard-to-reach areas.
The main advantage is the possibility to carry out professional cleaning without water, without spent abrasive and without chemical residues, reducing subsequent drying, liquid collection or detergent disposal operations.
Recommended applications
-
Industrial maintenance
SUBLIMA MAX is suitable for removing grease, oils, carbon residues, production deposits, layered dirt and surface contaminants from machinery, production lines, mechanical structures and industrial equipment.
-
Molds and production
It is a useful solution for maintaining molds, presses, production equipment and components subject to residue build-up, where the absence of water and abrasive can reduce downtime and restoration operations.
-
Car detailing and automotive
SUBLIMA MAX can be used on engine bays, underbodies, rims, mechanical components, hard-to-reach details and areas where it is preferable to avoid water, aggressive detergents or abrasive operations.
-
Food industry
Dry ice cleaning is useful in contexts where it is important to avoid using water or detergents on machinery, belts, components and production areas. Assessment must always be carried out according to internal procedures and applicable regulations.
-
Electrical panels and sensitive components
The absence of water is an advantage when working on components or areas where moisture could create problems. However, operating conditions, safety, system condition and company procedures must always be assessed.
-
Professional restoration and maintenance
SUBLIMA MAX is also suitable for restoration work on equipment, components, plants, machinery and surfaces where residues need to be removed without altering the substrate through traditional abrasive action.
Operational advantages
Reduces water and detergents
The process uses compressed air and dry ice. This makes it possible to reduce or eliminate the use of water, solvents and chemical detergents in many professional applications.
Does not generate spent abrasive
Unlike traditional sandblasting, dry ice sublimates and does not leave abrasive material to be recovered. After the operation, only the removed contaminant remains.
Improves intervention times
In many applications, dismantling, drying and subsequent operations can be reduced. This can help reduce machine downtime and make maintenance faster.
Better respects sensitive surfaces
Dry ice does not work like a traditional abrasive. The action is based on cooling, impact and sublimation, reducing the risk of engraving the substrate when the process is correctly adjusted.
Suitable for multiple sectors
The same machine can be used in workshops, industry, automotive, car detailing, plant maintenance, molds, production and specialist activities, making it a cross-sector solution.
Main features
Pneumatic operation
SUBLIMA MAX works with compressed air and does not require direct electrical power on the machine. This makes it practical in workshops, departments, at the customer’s site or in contexts where simple connection is an operational advantage.
1.5 to 3 mm pellets
The machine can use 1.5 to 3 mm dry ice pellets, allowing the process to be adapted to different removal needs, from more controlled work on delicate details to more energetic operations on stubborn residues.
Variable dry ice dosing
Pellet dosing can be adjusted according to the type of dirt, the surface and the desired result. This helps optimize dry ice consumption, jet intensity and work quality.
Compact design and low weight
With a stated weight of 13 kg, SUBLIMA MAX is a manoeuvrable machine that can be easily integrated into professional environments where mobility, fast intervention and practicality are essential.
Process without water and without chemicals
Dry ice cleaning with SUBLIMA MAX does not use water, detergents or solvents. After the operation, only the material removed from the surface remains, which can be vacuumed or collected depending on the type of application.
How dry ice cleaning works
The SUBLIMA MAX process is based on three main elements: compressed air, dry ice pellets and jet adjustment.
COMPRESSED AIR
Compressed air carries the pellets towards the surface and, together with the machine and nozzle configuration, determines the intensity of the operation.
DRY ICE PELLETS
SUBLIMA MAX can work with 1.5 to 3 mm pellets, adapting to different levels of intervention.
SUBLIMATION
Dry ice passes from solid state to gaseous state, helping detach dirt without leaving water or abrasive.
The rapid cooling of the contaminant, the controlled impact of the pellets and the sublimation of CO₂ contribute to dirt removal without introducing liquid residues into the process.
Process summary
Freezes → Fractures → Removes → Sublimates
1. Freezes
Dry ice reaches very low temperatures and rapidly cools the deposit to be removed, making it more brittle.
2. Fractures
The thermal shock and the impact of the pellets help weaken the dirt, making it easier to detach from the surface.
3. Removes
The kinetic action of the jet lifts the contaminant from the substrate and separates it from the surface.
4. Sublimates
Dry ice passes into gaseous state and leaves no liquid or abrasive residues. Only the removed material remains.
Difference compared to a traditional sandblaster
SUBLIMA MAX does not work like a conventional abrasive sandblaster.
In traditional sandblasting, the result depends on the mechanical action of the abrasive, which can engrave, matt or modify the surface according to pressure, grit size and material used.
Dry ice cleaning, on the other hand, is suitable when the goal is not to consume or roughen the substrate, but to remove dirt, grease, residues and deposits in a controlled way, without water and without spent abrasive.
For this reason, SUBLIMA MAX is particularly interesting for maintenance, component restoration, car detailing, molds, plants and surfaces where abrasive treatment could be excessive.
Compressed air configuration
Dry ice cleaning performance depends on the availability of compressed air, the system configuration and the type of nozzle used.
SUBLIMA MAX allows dry ice consumption to be adjusted from 5 to 50 kg/hour, adapting the process according to the application, the level of dirt and the desired intensity.
To obtain stable and effective cleaning, it is important to use a compressor suited to the air flow required by the machine and consistent with the type of operation.
When to choose SUBLIMA MAX
- You want a compact yet high-performance professional dry ice blasting machine
- You need to work without water, detergents and traditional abrasive
- You need a more versatile machine than an entry-level model
- You want to adjust pellet consumption according to the type of operation
- You need to work on machinery, molds, mechanical components or plants
- You want to reduce downtime, drying and subsequent cleaning
- You are looking for a solution suitable for workshops, industry, maintenance and car detailing
- You need a pneumatic system without direct electrical connection on the machine
When to consider a different solution
SUBLIMA MAX represents a balance between compactness, performance and operational versatility.
For extremely intensive industrial use, very high-continuity production lines or applications requiring higher productivity, it may be useful to consider even higher-range dry ice systems.
When the main requirement is maximum operating simplicity or extreme portability, more compact models in the range may represent a more immediate solution.
The system operates exclusively pneumatically - no electrical power connection is required
