Mini dry ice blaster is a compact dry ice cleaning system that uses compressed air to propel dry ice particles onto contaminated surfaces. The low-temperature particles interact with dirt and contaminants through a physical temperature-change effect, causing the contaminants to become brittle and detach from the surface.
The dry ice then sublimates and leaves no chemical cleaning residue. This makes the equipment suitable for cleaning applications in industries such as food processing, automotive manufacturing, and printing.
The YG Mini Nova series is designed as a lightweight and portable solution. It uses 3mm dry ice particles and has an internal ice-cutting mechanism that allows operators to switch between 3mm particles and 0.2mm micro-particles.
The result is one machine with two spraying modes for conventional contamination removal and precision cleaning.

4 Small Dry Ice Blaster Core Features
1. Two Dry Ice Particle Modes
The mini dry ice blaster supports two particle sizes from the same 3mm dry ice feedstock.
The integrated cutting mechanism can spray the original 3mm particles or cut them into 0.2mm micro-particles.
The 3mm mode is suitable for conventional contamination removal, while the smaller particle mode is intended for more precise cleaning applications.
This two-mode design expands the range of cleaning tasks that can be handled by one machine.
2. Lightweight 9kg or 9.5kg Design
The mini dry ice blaster weighs only 9kg in the documented Mini Nova configuration.
Its compact structure makes it easier to carry between different working areas. This is useful for cleaning tasks where equipment needs to be moved frequently.
3. 220V Power Supply
The Mini Nova uses a 220V power supply and has a documented power rating of 42W.
The hopper capacity is 3.2kg, while the air consumption range is 0-2m³/min.
These specifications provide a compact equipment configuration for the documented applications.
4. Integrated Ice-Cutting Mechanism
The small dry ice blasting machine integrates the ice-cutting mechanism inside the machine.
Unlike a system that requires separate particle preparation, the operator can select the required spraying mode directly according to the cleaning task.
5 Small Dry Ice Blasting Machine Cleaning Advantages
1. No Chemical Cleaning Residue
Dry ice cleaning does not leave chemical cleaning residue after the dry ice particles sublimate.
This makes the process suitable for applications where chemical residues need to be avoided, including food and pharmaceutical industry cleaning.
3. Non-Abrasive Cleaning
Dry ice particles sublimate after impacting the contamination. According to the product information, the cleaning process does not damage the surface being cleaned and can therefore be used for precision equipment.
4. Immediate Use After Cleaning
The cleaned surface does not require an additional drying process after dry ice cleaning.
This can help reduce waiting time before equipment is returned to operation.
5. Online Cleaning
The equipment supports online cleaning without requiring the equipment being cleaned to be completely shut down. This can reduce production interruption during suitable maintenance tasks.
Portable Dry Ice Cleaning Machine Applications
The mini dry ice blaster is designed for a range of compact cleaning applications.
Documented application areas for the Mini Nova include:
- Electronics
- Molds
- Automotive components
- Printed circuit boards
- Precision cleaning
- General contamination removal
The equipment is described as suitable for most applications except certain heavy contamination tasks and very large-area cleaning jobs. Those conditions require separate assessment before equipment selection.
Mini Dry Ice Blaster vs Traditional Dry Ice Cleaning Machines
| Feature | YG Mini Nova | Traditional Configuration |
| Drive Structure | Dual-motor separated drive | Single-motor drive |
| Ice Cutting Drive | Integrated gear transmission | Chain transmission |
| Electrical Control Box | Independent control box | Located at lower ice hopper area |
| Spray Gun | Built-in filter | \ |
| Particle Modes | 3mm / 0.2mm | \ |
The YG design separates the motor drive for the machine head and ice-cutting system. This helps maintain high spraying frequency and separates ice output from spraying frequency.
The integrated gear-driven cutting disc is also designed to reduce maintenance requirements compared with the chain-driven configuration.
Portable Dry Ice Cleaning Machine Conditions Requiring Confirmation
The Mini Nova is not presented as a universal solution for every contamination type. The source specifically notes that particularly stubborn contamination and large-area cleaning may require other equipment or further assessment.
Before selection, confirm:
- Contamination type
- Cleaning area
- Required particle size
- Available compressed-air conditions
- Whether precision or conventional cleaning is required
This helps determine whether the Mini Nova configuration matches the actual cleaning task.
