Lumber, Paper and Pulp Mill Cleaning
Dry ice blasting is a game-changer for the lumber, pulp and paper industry when it comes to equipment maintenance. Unlike traditional cleaning methods such as sandblasting, dry ice doesn’t erode or wear down the surfaces it touches. That means your equipment stays in better shape for longer—no more worrying about thinning metal, weakened welds, or the hidden costs of surface damage. By preserving the integrity of your machinery, dry ice blasting helps you avoid expensive repairs and replacements down the road.
Boiler Maintenance with Dry Ice Cleaning, Paper Mill
Boilers are the backbone of any paper mill. They keep everything running, but they take a beating every day. Over time, it’s almost inevitable—solids build up inside the tubes. If you let those deposits go unchecked, you’re asking for trouble: lost production, expensive repairs, or even safety hazards that put your crew at risk. That’s why routine boiler cleaning isn’t just a suggestion—it’s a necessity.
Deposits that build up inside a boiler are bad news for both performance and reliability. The more those deposits collect, the more trouble they cause. If they’re left alone, they’ll keep thickening until you start to see problems like localized overheating or even corrosion forming underneath the layers—problems that can lead to a serious breakdown. That’s why paper mill cleaning services matter: they can clear out these deposits before any lasting harm is done, and if buildup has already started to affect things, a thorough cleaning can bring the boiler right back to top form.
Carmad Industrial specializes in cleaning paper mill boilers across Western Canada. We use advanced techniques, including dry ice blasting, to clear out deposits and restore efficiency. Cleaner boilers mean less downtime, lower energy bills, and a safer operation overall.

Paper and Wood Equipment Cleaning
Dry ice cleaning has become a go-to for the wood and paper production industry, especially when it comes to critical maintenance or routine preventative care. The process—known as Dry Ice Blasting—offers a way to clean equipment safely and efficiently, often in far less time than you’d spend with traditional methods.
Because the dry ice turns to gas on contact, there’s no leftover residue, making the whole thing quick, non-toxic, and cost-effective. Factories use it to clean everything from industrial machinery and assembly lines to precision machine tools, without the downtime or mess.
Recycling plants, especially those handling paper and cardboard, also lean heavily on dry ice blasting. It’s one of the few methods that can reliably keep rollers and glue applicators free from gunk and contamination, helping the whole operation run smoother and longer.
