SUBLIMA ULTRA
SUBLIMA ULTRA is the FEVI solution for those looking for a dry ice blasting machine suitable for intensive work, industrial applications and operations where a compact machine no longer provides sufficient operating capacity.
Its distinctive feature is the integrated pellet crushing system, which allows the size of the dry ice to be adapted to the application.
This makes it possible to modulate the behaviour of the jet according to the type of residue, the surface and the required result.
The adjustment of the dry ice output also allows consumption to be optimised, increasing or reducing the flow rate according to the intensity of the treatment.
SUBLIMA ULTRA is designed for contexts where cleaning is not occasional, but an integral part of maintenance, production, restoration, plant overhaul and professional component treatment processes.
Who SUBLIMA ULTRA is recommended for
SUBLIMA ULTRA is recommended for those looking for an industrial, powerful and adjustable dry ice blasting machine suitable for frequent or heavy-duty operations.

Main applications
-
Industry and maintenance
SUBLIMA ULTRA is suitable for removing oils, grease, carbon residues, dust, adhesives, encrustations and deposits from machinery, equipment, production lines, plants and mechanical components.
It is a useful solution when dismantling, washing, drying and downtime need to be reduced.
-
Moulds and production equipment
Dry ice cleaning is particularly interesting for moulds, dies, presses, production equipment and components where residues must be removed without introducing water or abrasives.
SUBLIMA ULTRA allows greater control thanks to flow rate adjustment and dry ice particle size management.
-
Food and packaging industry
In the food and packaging sector, SUBLIMA ULTRA can be used to remove product residues, dust, adhesives, dirt and deposits from packaging machines, belts, production lines and components.
The absence of water and detergents can represent an operational advantage, always to be assessed according to internal procedures and applicable hygiene and safety requirements.
-
Printing, paper and converting
SUBLIMA ULTRA can be used to remove wet or dry ink, dust, paper dust, adhesive residues and contaminants from printing machines, rollers, components and production systems.
-
Plastic and rubber industry
It is suitable for cleaning moulds, coatings, presses, extruders, plastic components, rubber, foams and technical materials, where residues must be removed without resorting to aggressive washing or traditional abrasives.
-
Production lines and plants
SUBLIMA ULTRA can be used on industrial ovens, welding robots, conveyor systems, containers, assembly lines, extruders, presses and equipment subject to dirt or production residue build-up.
-
Automotive, workshops and component restoration
In the automotive sector and professional maintenance, SUBLIMA ULTRA is suitable for operations on mechanical components, engine bays, underbodies and parts contaminated by grease, oils and residues that are difficult to remove with traditional methods.
Main advantages
High operating capacity
SUBLIMA ULTRA is designed for intensive applications and for jobs where a greater dry ice output is required compared to more compact models.
Adjustable pressure up to 16 bar
The possibility of working with adjustable pressure up to 16 bar allows the jet intensity to be adapted to different applications.
Integrated pellet crushing system
The crushing system allows the most suitable dry ice pellet size to be selected according to the application.
This feature improves process control and makes it possible to modulate the intervention according to the surface and the contaminant to be removed.
Pellets from 1.5 to 5 mm
SUBLIMA ULTRA can use dry ice pellets from 1.5 to 5 mm, offering greater flexibility than models designed for lighter-duty applications.
Variable dry ice dosing
Adjustment of the dry ice output allows consumption to be optimised and the machine to be adapted to real working conditions.
Water-free process
Dry ice cleaning is a dry process and does not introduce water onto the surface. This reduces drying issues, moisture, stagnation and liquid waste.
No chemical detergents
The process uses compressed air and dry ice. In many applications, it allows detergents, solvents and degreasers to be reduced or eliminated.
No spent abrasive
Dry ice sublimates and leaves no abrasive to recover. After the intervention, mainly the residues removed from the surface remain.
Suitable for complex industrial applications
SUBLIMA ULTRA is designed for those who need to work on plants, lines, moulds, components and machinery with heavy dirt and continuity requirements.
How dry ice cleaning works
SUBLIMA ULTRA uses compressed air to project dry ice pellets onto the surface to be treated.
The process combines three main effects:
THERMAL EFFECT
Dry ice cools the surface deposit and helps make it more brittle.
CONTROLLED MECHANICAL EFFECT
The impact of the pellets promotes the detachment of dirt, grease, oils, adhesives and residues.
SUBLIMATION
Dry ice passes directly from solid state to gaseous state without leaving residues.
This combination makes dry ice cleaning useful when contaminants need to be removed without wetting, without using aggressive chemicals and without generating spent abrasive.
Process summary
Freezes → Fractures → Removes → Improves the hygienic condition of the surface
1. Freezes
Dry ice rapidly cools the deposit to be removed and reduces its adhesion to the surface.
2. Fractures
The thermal shock and the impact of the pellets help make the contaminant more brittle.
3. Removes
The combination of jet energy and sublimation promotes the detachment of dirt from the substrate.
4. Improves hygienic conditions
Dry ice cleaning can help improve the hygienic condition of the treated surface.
Difference compared to more compact dry ice blasting machines
- Greater operating capacity
- Higher dry ice flow rate
- Use of 1.5 to 5 mm pellets
- Integrated pellet crushing system
- Adjustable pressure up to 16 bar
- Greater process control
- Better adaptability to heavy dirt
- Suitability for more demanding industrial applications
SUBLIMA ULTRA is therefore recommended for those looking for a more productive and configurable solution than the Mini, Base, Max and Top models.
Difference compared to traditional sandblasting
SUBLIMA ULTRA does not work like a conventional abrasive sandblaster.
Traditional sandblasting uses mineral or metallic abrasives that can engrave, dull, roughen or wear the substrate depending on pressure, grit size and the material used.
Dry ice cleaning, on the other hand, uses dry ice that sublimates after impact. It leaves no spent abrasive and does not introduce water.
It is therefore more suitable when the goal is to remove dirt, grease, residues and deposits without significantly modifying the surface.
SUBLIMA ULTRA is recommended when a dry, fast and controllable industrial cleaning process is required, not deep abrasive preparation of the substrate.
Compressed air configuration
SUBLIMA ULTRA requires compressed air availability suitable for intensive industrial applications.
The current technical page indicates air consumption ranging from 3,000 to 10,000 l/min depending on blasting pressure, nozzle and operating configuration.
To achieve work continuity and correct performance, it is essential to use a pneumatic system consistent with the required flow rate.
When to choose SUBLIMA ULTRA
- You need to handle frequent or intensive industrial applications
- You need high operating capacity
- You want to adjust pressure, flow rate and pellet size
- You need to remove heavy dirt, grease, oils, adhesives, encrustations or carbon residues
- You work on moulds, production lines, machinery or equipment
- You want to reduce water, detergents and solvents
- You want to avoid spent abrasive to recover
- You need a higher-performance machine compared to compact models
- You want to introduce dry ice cleaning as a stable professional process
- You have a compressed air system suitable for high consumption
When to consider another model in the SUBLIMA range
- SUBLIMA MINI if you are looking for an ultra-compact machine for quick, localised operations with low air consumption.
- SUBLIMA BASE if you want a compact solution for non-intensive professional applications.
- SUBLIMA MAX if you need a balance between performance, compactness and frequent use.
- SUBLIMA TOP if you want a professional machine for demanding uses, but do not need ULTRA’s maximum operating capacity.
This distinction helps the customer choose based on frequency of use, available compressor, type of dirt, surface, sector and treatment objective.
The system operates exclusively pneumatically - always check the technical configuration and the power supply requirements for the specific model.
