SUBLIMA TOP
SUBLIMA TOP was developed to bring dry ice cleaning into contexts where a compact machine may not be sufficient and where the operator needs a more powerful, stable solution suitable for frequent operations.
The process uses dry ice pellets projected by compressed air. Upon impact with the surface, the cold helps make the deposit to be removed more brittle, while the rapid sublimation of CO₂ helps detach the dirt.
Dry ice passes from solid state to gaseous state without leaving water, sludge or spent abrasive.
This feature makes SUBLIMA TOP particularly interesting when the goal is to clean machinery, components, molds, mechanical parts, plants, engine bays, production equipment or sensitive surfaces while reducing the use of water, solvents, detergents and invasive washing processes.
The machine is designed for companies, workshops and technical departments that want to increase efficiency, intervention quality and operational control, while maintaining a dry, fast and professional process.

Professional dry ice cleaning machine
Easy to integrate into operating departments
Pneumatic operation allows the machine to be used wherever a suitable compressed air line is available, without resorting to water washing or chemical treatments.
Professional performance
It is suitable for more demanding applications than the entry-level models in the range, especially when continuity, flow rate and intervention capacity on heavier dirt are required.
Dry process
Dry ice sublimates during impact and does not leave water on the surface. This reduces drying, stagnation, moisture and subsequent operations.
Reduction of residues to be managed
After the intervention, mainly the removed dirt remains, which can be collected or vacuumed according to the operating context.
Suitable for sensitive surfaces and components
Dry ice cleaning does not work like traditional abrasive blasting. It is useful when surface contaminants need to be removed without heavily engraving the substrate.
Dry ice
Dry ice is carbon dioxide in solid state. It is used in pellet form and projected onto the surface by compressed air.
In the dry ice cleaning process, the pellets act through three main effects:
Thermal effect
The cold helps make the deposit to be removed more brittle.
Controlled mechanical effect
The impact of the pellets helps detach dirt, grease, residues and surface contaminants.
Sublimation
CO₂ passes directly from solid state to gaseous state without leaving residues from the medium used.
For this reason, SUBLIMA TOP is recommended when cleaning is required without water, without chemical detergents, without spent abrasive and without long drying times.
Who it is recommended for
SUBLIMA TOP is recommended for those looking for a professional dry ice blasting machine for frequent use, more demanding applications and activities where cleaning must be fast, controlled and repeatable.

Main applications
-
Industry and maintenance
SUBLIMA TOP is suitable for removing oils, grease, dust, carbon residues, encrustations, adhesives and contaminants from machinery, components, mechanical parts and production equipment.
It is useful in departments where intervention speed and downtime reduction are decisive factors.
-
Molds and production
Dry ice cleaning can be used on molds, presses, production equipment, plastic, rubber and metal components, and surfaces requiring a controlled intervention.
It helps reduce the need for invasive washing, complex dismantling and chemical detergents.
-
Car detailing and automotive
SUBLIMA TOP is suitable for engine bays, underbodies, rims, mechanical components, plastic, rubber, aluminium and metal parts.
It is a suitable solution for businesses that want to offer a premium professional cleaning service without water and without chemical residues.
-
Food and packaging sector
Dry ice cleaning can be useful on packaging machines, production lines, components subject to residues, adhesives, dust and processing deposits, avoiding the direct use of water and aggressive detergents.
-
Plants and electrical components
The absence of water is an important advantage in contexts where moisture-related risk needs to be reduced.
Assessment must always be carried out according to the component, protection rating, system condition and company safety procedures.
-
Restoration, special maintenance and delicate surfaces
SUBLIMA TOP can also be used in operations where surface residues need to be removed in a controlled way, avoiding the aggressive abrasive action typical of traditional sandblasting.
Main advantages
Completely dry process
SUBLIMA TOP works without water. This reduces drying times, stagnation and moisture-related issues.
No chemical detergents
The process uses compressed air and dry ice, reducing the use of solvents, degreasers and aggressive chemical products.
No spent abrasive
Dry ice sublimates on contact with the surface. After the intervention, mainly the removed dirt remains.
Greater operational efficiency
The ability to work quickly on components and machinery can reduce dismantling, washing, drying and downtime.
Suitable for more demanding professional applications
Compared to more compact models, SUBLIMA TOP is designed for users who need higher performance and a machine more suitable for frequent or continuous work.
Controlled intervention
Jet and pellet consumption adjustment makes it possible to adapt the process to the type of dirt, material and desired result.
Reduction of secondary residues
By not using sand, grit or traditional abrasives, the process simplifies work area management.
How dry ice cleaning works
The SUBLIMA TOP 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 to be treated. To obtain correct performance, the compressor must be sized according to the application.
DRY ICE PELLETS
SUBLIMA TOP normally uses 1.5 to 3 mm dry ice pellets, selected according to the type of operation.
SUBLIMATION
Dry ice passes from solid state to gaseous state, helping detach dirt without leaving residues from the cleaning medium.
Process summary
Freezes → Fractures → Removes → Sanitizes
Freezes
The cold of dry ice cools the surface deposit and helps make it more brittle.
Fractures
The combined action of cold and impact helps break the bond between dirt and surface.
Removes
The rapid expansion of CO₂ during sublimation helps lift and detach the contaminant.
Sanitizes
Dry ice cleaning can help improve the hygienic condition of the treated surface.
Difference compared to traditional sandblasters
SUBLIMA TOP does not work like a traditional abrasive sandblaster.
In conventional sandblasting, the abrasive material engraves, wears or modifies the surface depending on pressure, grit type and application.
Dry ice cleaning, on the other hand, is designed to remove dirt, grease, oils, adhesives, carbon residues, contaminants and surface deposits without generating spent abrasive.
For this reason, SUBLIMA TOP is suitable when the goal is not to remove material from the substrate, but to clean quickly, dryly and in a controlled way.
Compressed air configuration
SUBLIMA TOP requires compressed air availability suitable for continuous professional use.
The compressor must be sized according to work continuity, required pressure, nozzle configuration and type of application.
Consistent air availability helps maintain jet stability, result quality and operational continuity during more demanding operations.
When to choose SUBLIMA TOP
- You need a professional dry ice blasting machine
