Dry ice cleaning is a waterless cleaning technology that utilizes the low temperature and high pressure of carbon dioxide (dry ice) to separate and remove dirt without leaving any

residue. It is an efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective cleaning method. In the automotive manufacturing industry, dry ice cleaning is widely used, particularly in the 

cleaning of sled surfaces, and has become an industry standard. Let’s explore the application of dry ice cleaning in the automotive industry for sled surface cleaning.

The sled is an important component of a vehicle’s suspension system, responsible for reducing vibrations on uneven road surfaces to ensure driving comfort and stability. However, 

during usage, the sled surface is often subjected to erosion from dust, mud, oil, and other contaminants, causing the sled to lose balance and stability, affecting the vehicle’s 

performance. Therefore, regular cleaning of the sled surface is crucial for ensuring proper vehicle operation and extending its lifespan.

Traditional cleaning methods such as sandblasting and solvent cleaning, although achieving cleaning results, can damage the surface of the components and shorten their service 

life. Dry ice cleaning, on the other hand, can avoid these issues. When dry ice particles come into contact with the surface to be cleaned, the sudden temperature drop makes the

stains brittle, allowing the dry ice particles to easily separate them without causing any harm to the sled surface.

Furthermore, dry ice cleaning minimizes cleaning time and costs. It does not require equipment shutdown or component removal, significantly shortening the cleaning cycle, 

improving production efficiency, and reducing labor and resource consumption, thereby saving costs. Additionally, dry ice cleaning does not involve any chemical reactions, 

eliminating the need for chemical agents and generating neither wastewater nor hazardous waste, making it environmentally friendly.

In the automotive manufacturing industry, dry ice cleaning is widely used for sled surface cleaning. This cleaning method is efficient and environmentally friendly, ensuring thorough 

cleaning of the sled surface without causing any surface damage, while also providing cost savings. As technology continues to advance, dry ice cleaning will play an increasingly 

important role in the automotive manufacturing industry.
