Question 1

How does dry ice blasting remove carbon deposits from aircraft engines at Opa-Locka Airport?

Accepted Answer

Dry ice blasting accelerates solid CO2 pellets at supersonic speeds to impact carbon deposits, exhaust residue, and oil buildup on turbine components. The extreme cold (-109°F) causes thermal shock that fractures contaminants, while kinetic energy lifts them from aluminum and titanium substrates. The CO2 sublimates instantly into gas, leaving zero residue or moisture. This FAA-approved process cleans aircraft engines, APUs, and powerplant components at Opa-Locka Executive Airport MRO facilities without abrasives or water damage.

Question 2

Can you clean avionics and electrical aircraft systems without causing damage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dry ice blasting is non-conductive and moisture-free—ideal for cleaning avionics, electrical harnesses, and instrument panels at Opa-Locka aviation facilities. The process removes dust, oil mist, and contaminants without introducing water that could corrode connections or damage sensitive electronics. We safely clean cockpit systems, navigation equipment, and electrical components while preserving circuit integrity and airworthiness certifications.

Question 3

What aircraft contaminants can dry ice blasting remove at OPF maintenance facilities?

Accepted Answer

Dry ice blasting removes carbon deposits, exhaust residue, hydraulic fluid, grease, oil buildup, paint overspray, corrosion products, rubber deposits, and environmental contaminants. At Opa-Locka Executive Airport, we clean turbine engines, landing gear assemblies, airframe structures, ground support equipment, and hangar facilities—removing years of operational buildup without damaging aircraft materials or surface treatments.

Question 4

Do you need to disassemble aircraft components before dry ice cleaning?

Accepted Answer

No. Dry ice blasting cleans aircraft components in-place without disassembly. We remove carbon from turbine blades while engines are mounted, clean landing gear without removing hydraulic systems, and restore airframe structures without dismantling assemblies. This eliminates reassembly time, preserves torque specifications, and reduces maintenance downtime for Opa-Locka aviation operators by 60-80% compared to traditional cleaning methods.

Question 5

Is dry ice blasting safe for composite aircraft materials and anodized surfaces?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Dry ice blasting is non-abrasive and won't damage composite materials, anodized coatings, or protective surface treatments. The process removes contaminants without etching, pitting, or delamination. We safely clean carbon fiber components, fiberglass fairings, anodized aluminum structures, and painted surfaces throughout Opa-Locka aircraft—preserving airworthiness and structural integrity while restoring cleanliness.

Question 6

What areas of Opa-Locka and Miami-Dade County do you serve for aviation cleaning?

Accepted Answer

We serve all of Opa-Locka including Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF), aviation MRO facilities, aircraft maintenance hangars, and throughout Miami-Dade County. Our mobile dry ice blasting equipment brings on-site cleaning directly to your hangar or maintenance facility, eliminating aircraft transportation and operational downtime.
