Tier 1 — Build Next (Aligned to Current Verticals)
Manufacturing: CNC Machine Deep Clean During Scheduled Shutdown
Target reader: Maintenance manager or plant engineer at a precision machining shop
Story: A machine shop running 10+ CNC centers accumulates coolant residue, metal fines, and oil mist throughout the machines and the facility. During a scheduled shutdown weekend, Sublimate cleans all machines in-place plus overhead steel and electrical panels. Focus on time savings vs. their normal shutdown clean process and the fact that machines were production-ready Monday morning.
Key metric to capture: Hours saved, number of machines cleaned, before/after photo set
Automotive: Classic Vehicle Restoration Engine Bay and Undercarriage
Target reader: Restoration shop owner, classic car collector, or high-end detailer
Story: A collector vehicle with 30+ years of accumulated grease, road grime, and undercoating. Dry ice blasting strips everything back to bare metal and original surfaces without damaging wiring, rubber, seals, or painted components. The reveal exposes the true condition of the frame, suspension, and engine bay for proper restoration assessment.
Key metric to capture: Before/after photos (the money shot for this vertical), time on-site, and a description of what was revealed underneath the grime
Facility Restoration: Fire Damage Soot Removal
Target reader: Restoration contractor, insurance adjuster, or property manager
Story: A commercial or industrial building with smoke and soot damage. Dry ice blasting removes soot from structural steel, concrete, HVAC components, and walls without water intrusion (which would compound the damage). Focus on speed, the absence of water damage from the cleaning itself, and documentation for the insurance claim.
Key metric to capture: Square footage cleaned, time vs. estimated traditional method time, no secondary water damage
Tier 2 — Build When You Enter These Verticals
Power & Electrical: Switchgear and MCC Cleaning
Story: Conductive dust and oil residue on switchgear increasing arc flash risk. Non-conductive dry ice cleaning restores insulation resistance and supports NFPA 70E compliance without de-energizing adjacent equipment.
Aerospace: Composite Tooling and Bond Prep
Story: Cleaning composite layup molds and bond surfaces without damaging the tool or introducing contaminants. Focus on surface preparation quality and the elimination of solvent-based cleaning.
Pharmaceutical: Cleanroom Tooling Maintenance
Story: Injection mold cleaning in a GMP-regulated pharmaceutical environment. Emphasis on particle-free, residue-free cleaning that maintains ISO 13485 compliance.
How to Convert a Real Job Into a Case Study
When you complete a job that would make a good case study, capture these elements:
You do not need all of these for every case study. Even just strong before/after photos and a brief narrative make compelling content. The photos do most of the selling.
