Dry Ice Blasting in Wallaceburg, Ontario

ODIB is based in Wallaceburg. We’re the only resident dry ice blasting operator in Chatham-Kent — the food plants, manufacturers, and restoration shops in our own town and the surrounding county have been calling Toronto and Hamilton for this work for years. Now they don’t have to.

Local, owner-operated, on-site

When you call ODIB, you’re calling Scott in Wallaceburg. I quote the job, I do the work, I follow up. No subcontracting, no four-hour drive from Toronto, no scheduling layers between you and the person on your site.

ODIB serves all of Wallaceburg plus Walpole Island, Mitchell’s Bay, Tupperville, Dresden, Wabash, Port Lambton, and the surrounding county — travel is included in every quote.

Wallaceburg’s industrial base — and why dry ice blasting fits it

Wallaceburg’s manufacturing base is unusually well-suited to dry ice blasting. Whyte’s Foods runs Canada’s largest pickle, relish, and maraschino cherry production lines right here — production lines that need between-batch and pre-audit cleaning where water and chemicals create more problems than they solve. Lambton Conveyor builds food-grade equipment shipped across North America from a 200,000 sq ft facility on our doorstep — equipment that gets dirty during testing and assembly. Aarkel Tool and Die, Rulmeca Canada, and Wabtec Foundry all run heavy machinery that builds up grime, oil, and carbon over time. Plus the small shops, body shops, and farm operations across the county that occasionally need a panel cleaned, a boat prepped, or a surface stripped.

Frequently asked

Are you actually based in Wallaceburg? Yes. Truck parked here, business registered here, taxes paid here. Wallaceburg is home base — it’s not a service-area listing.

Do you serve Walpole Island? Yes — at standard local rates, including travel.

Can dry ice blasting clean food production equipment without taking it off the line? Yes. That’s one of the reasons it exists. No water, no chemicals, no sand. Food contact surfaces can often be back in service the same day.

What’s the difference between dry ice and sandblasting? Sand is abrasive — it removes substrate along with the contaminant. Dry ice is non-abrasive — it lifts the contaminant off without damaging what’s underneath. Sand creates secondary waste. Dry ice doesn’t.
