In body-in-white production, weld spatter, primer residue, and anti-corrosion wax must be fully removed before components enter the paint line. Dry ice cleans jigs, robot arms, and welding guns in place — without disassembly, without abrasives, without water entering hollow profiles.

Body-in-white, paint shop, and welding lines
Paint booths, electrostatic spray equipment, and paint-line conveyors can be cleaned residue-free with dry ice — no solvents, minimal downtime. The process is approved for robot surfaces in aluminium, steel, and composite materials.
EV battery production and electrical systems
Traction battery manufacturing requires cleanroom-compatible processes. Dry ice is non-conductive, leaves no particles and no residue — suitable for housings, busbars, electrical connections, and cell modules. The process is compatible with sensitive sensors and power electronics.
- Non-conductive — safe for busbars, cells, and power electronics
- No particle contamination — cleanroom-compatible
- Removes weld spatter, adhesive residue, and anti-corrosion coating before painting
- Clean paint booths and robots without disassembly
- Plastic injection tools in automotive supply: removing release agent and gas marks
- No water residue — no drying phase, no corrosion risk

Frequently asked questions
- Yes — dry ice cleaning is one of the preferred methods for welding robots because it works without water, chemicals, or material removal. Spatter and weld residue can be removed during operation without damaging grippers or sensors.
- For line cleaning in automotive manufacturing we recommend the Champ Turbo Pro for stationary applications and the Champ Turbo for mobile maintenance tasks. Both deliver the blasting power needed for bodies, paint lines, and robots.
- A complete engine cleaning typically uses 3-8 kg of dry ice. Exact demand depends on contamination level, engine size, and desired result.
