About Kryoblast

Engineers who build the machines they service

Kryoblast designs, assembles and services dry ice blasting machines in Maharashtra, and makes the dry ice that feeds them. Formerly The Mechanical Minds.

Our story

We built our first dry ice blasters in 2017, by hand, alongside years of work in mechanical and piping engineering. Our nozzles, blasting guns and feed systems were developed in-house.

In 2026 we moved to full-scale manufacturing at our Ambernath unit, with our own pelletizer for dry ice. Today 30+ happy customers rely on Kryoblast in plastics, automotive, power and facility maintenance.

The technology

What is dry ice?

  • The solid form of carbon dioxide (CO₂)
  • It never melts into liquid: it sublimates straight from solid to gas
  • Extremely cold: −78.5 °C (−109.3 °F)
  • Ideal for cooling and non-damaging cleaning
How dry ice blasting works

Three effects, working together

Impact of dry ice pellets
01

Impact: knocking the dirt loose

Compressed air fires pellets at high speed. The impact breaks the bond between dirt and equipment. Dry ice is soft and non-abrasive, so the surface is not damaged.

Frozen contamination
02

Cold: freezing the contamination

At −78.5 °C the dirt freezes and turns brittle. It shrinks and cracks, while the equipment stays unharmed.

Expansion of sublimating dry ice
03

Expansion: lifting the dirt away

On impact the pellets turn to gas and expand nearly 800 times in volume, lifting the loosened dirt off the surface.
