Preventative Maintenance · Greater Vancouver, BC
Keep machinery running longer clean in place, no teardown
Preventative maintenance cleaning clears the buildup that wears equipment out before it hardens into a breakdown. Dry ice blasting cleans motors, moulds, gearboxes, and production gear in place, with no teardown, no solvents, and no downtime waiting for parts to dry. Routine upkeep stops turning into a full strip-down. Mobile across Greater Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.
- Clean equipment in place, no disassembly
- No moisture, no solvents, no cooldown wait
- Less wear, fewer unplanned stoppages
In short
Who does preventative maintenance cleaning in BC?
Preventative maintenance cleaning removes the carbon, grease, and residue that builds up on equipment and shortens its life. Laser Sharks does it across British Columbia with dry ice blasting, which cleans machinery in place without disassembly, moisture, or solvents. Cleaning between service intervals cuts overheating, wear, and unplanned downtime, and because it is dry and non-conductive, motors and electrical gear can often be cleaned live.
How it works
Assessment
We scope the surface, the buildup, and access to the equipment or space.
Setup and containment
The blaster is staged and the area contained where the work calls for it.
Blasting pass
CO2 pellets at up to 250 PSI lift the buildup on contact, dry, no residue left.
Inspection and touch-up
Each surface is checked and finished before we call it done.
Completion report
A short summary of the scope and the result for your records or your adjuster.
Applications
Where it fits
Buildup traps heat and grinds at moving parts. Clear it on a schedule, in place, and the machine runs cooler and stops less. The dry, non-conductive process is what lets us do it without a shutdown on a lot of equipment.
Motors and electricals
Dust and grime off windings, panels, and drives, dry and non-conductive, often without shutting down.
Moulds and tooling
Release-agent buildup and residue off moulds between runs, in place, so cycle quality holds.
Production machinery
Gearboxes, conveyors, and bases cleaned on schedule so buildup never becomes a failure.
Comparison
Dry ice maintenance cleaning vs teardown and solvents
The usual maintenance clean means shutting down, dismantling, scrubbing with solvent, and waiting to dry and reassemble. That is hours of downtime per machine. Dry ice cleans in place, dry, so a lot of that disappears. No disassembly, no solvent to buy or dispose of, no cooldown. For a line you cannot afford to stop for long, keeping it clean on a schedule is cheaper than the breakdown that buildup eventually causes.

Common Questions
Quick answers about preventative maintenance in British Columbia.
Can you clean machinery without shutting it down?
Often, yes. Dry ice is dry and non-conductive, so motors and many production machines can be cleaned in place, sometimes live. We confirm what is safe for your equipment before we start.
Does preventative cleaning actually extend equipment life?
Yes. Buildup traps heat and accelerates wear. Clearing it on a schedule cuts overheating and the unplanned stoppages that buildup causes, which is cheaper than the failure.
Do you offer scheduled maintenance cleaning?
Yes. We set up recurring visits so equipment is cleaned between service intervals rather than only when it is already fouled.
Is it safe for electrical and electronic equipment?
Yes. There is no water and no residue, so it is used on panels, drives, and electronics where liquid cleaning is a risk.
How much does maintenance cleaning cost?
Per project or per schedule, based on the equipment. Most one-off jobs run in the thousands, and recurring programs are priced per visit. Send details to the quote form.
