case study: food industry
the problem
Food and drink processing and packaging environments and machinery accumulate grease, carbonised residue, proteins, harmful bacteria, biofilms, adhesives, labels and other contaminants that traditionally have taken significant time to clean.
The food industry requires high levels of hygiene. Surfaces and machinery on production lines are often very difficult to clean. Removing food residue, grease, dirt and other residue from production devices is critical in preventing bacterial growth and ensuring high food quality. Dry ice cleaning is an ideal solution to eliminate foreign bodies and reinstate productivity without causing damage or unneccessary downtime.
EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS
  • Oven bands
  • Packing machinery - Labelers etc
  • Electrical components
  • Food Moulds
  • Mixing equipment
  • Grills
  • Fryers
  • Flooring
  • Cables
  • Burners
  • Filters
  • Conveyors
Deep fat fryers
Production line conveyor
Oven bands
Food factory flooring
Cabling and electrics
Burners
the solution
Eco dry ice blasting delivers an on-site cleaning solution that's not only sustainable, but reduces bacteria, does not use water or chemicals, produces no secondary waste and won't damage sensors and machinery.
Dry ice is non-toxic, unlike many solvents used traditionally in cleaning processes, such as TCA. Our dry ice cleaning system will significantly decrease employee exposure to hazardous chemical agents and dangerous cleaning methods.
  • NO RISK TO STAFF OR MACHINERY
  • DRY SOLUTION - SAFE FOR WATER-SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENTS
  • KILLS BACTERIA
  • NON-ARBRASIVE
  • GREEN CLEAN/ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
  • CLEANS FASTER AND MORE EFFICIENTLY
  • CAN BE COMPLETED ON-SITE
  • DOWNTIME DRAMATICALLY REDUCED 
  • PRODUCTION TIME INCREASED
  • REDUCED COSTS
  • PRODUCTIVITY AND APPEARANCE OF THE MACHINERY ENHANCED
  • EXTENDED LIFESPAN OF EQUIPMENT
the benefits
Dry ice is a natural bacterial and fungal growth inhibitor. The  low temperature of the dry ice pellets (-79°C/-110ºF) kills bacteria and mould (funghi) upon contact.  When we clean with dry ice we're also disinfecting surfaces.
Dry ice blasting can also reach places that other methods cannot, such as narrow spaces that are difficult to reach with brushes or chemicals. It's the perfect cleaning solution for electrical equipment or other water-sensitive environments.
keeping on top of it...
Within six months of cleaning contaminant build-up starts to affect the productivity of machinery again.

With a three or six monthly maintenance plan we can keep on top of your environments and have them running efficiently all year round, every year.
