Card, draw, and spinning frames
Packed lint and oil-bound fiber removed from guards, rails, and drive components without disassembly.
Dry ice blasting for textile & mill facilities
Textile operations generate a residue profile almost nothing else does: lint packed into every crevice, sizing and finish chemistry baked onto rollers, dye buildup, and oil-bound fiber on drive components. Dry ice removes it in place, without solvents and without soaking a plant full of electrical drives.

Why it matters
Lint accumulation on motors and enclosures is both a production and a fire-load problem. A dry, non-conductive cleaning method lets maintenance address it on equipment that cannot be washed down.
Where it gets used
Dye and finish rollers
Cured size, finish, and dye residue lifted from roller faces without abrasion that would change surface profile.
Motors, drives, and enclosures
Non-conductive dry cleaning of the electrical side of the plant where washdown is not an option.
Mill conversion restoration
Century-old heavy timber, brick, and steel cleaned of soot, whitewash, creosote, and biological growth for adaptive reuse projects.
Dust collection and duct systems
Buildup removed from collection hoods and duct interiors as part of a combustible dust housekeeping program.
How we run the work
- No solvents, no washdown, no added moisture in a lint-heavy environment
- Supports combustible dust housekeeping objectives under NFPA guidance
- Test panels documented before full-scale work on historic mill substrates
- Coordinated with plant LOTO and confined-space permitting
Carolina context
From Gaston and Cabarrus County mills to Greenville and Spartanburg's Upstate corridor and the Triad's furniture and fabric plants, the Carolinas still run the country's densest textile footprint — plus hundreds of mill buildings now being converted to housing, offices, and breweries. Both sides of that story need dry cleaning methods.
Questions we get
Will blasting damage roller surfaces?
Dry ice is non-abrasive to base metal. Pressure is validated on a test area first so surface profile and coatings are preserved.
Can you clean a mill conversion's original timber?
Yes — soft, documented pressures remove soot and coatings from heavy timber and soft brick without the substrate loss sand or soda blasting causes.
Do you handle historic review requirements?
We produce test panels and written settings suitable for submission to local historic review boards before full-scale work.
