Dry Ice Blasting….. a Boon for the Food Industry

Everyday food industry deals with the challenge of maintaining hygiene standards and cleanliness. The equipment utilized in this industry needs to be perfectly clean in order to maximize the production capacity and to reduce the chances of accidents occurring due to poor maintenance.

Cleaning methods like wire brushes, sand blasting, solvents and high pressure are considered ancient now. The new age method of cleaning called dry ice blasting is the order of the day. Since it uses harmless dry ice pellets, it is preferred by many in food and beverage industry.

Let’s discuss in detail why dry ice cleaning is superior to other methods.

Reaches every nook and corner

In this process, dry ice pellets can get to the parts of equipments which are difficult to reach. In other methods, you cannot even dream of accessing such areas. Since dry ice pellets manage to reach every nook and corner of the equipments; it cleans more deeply and effectively. CO2 blasting efficiently removes adhesive, carbon build-up, grease, paper dust, and glue from various equipments such as:

Conveyors

Ovens

Chocolate Moulds

Filters

Mixing equipments

Slicing equipments

Frying and Processing equipments

Bread and Pastry equipments

Waffle Irons

On-site Dry Ice Cleaning

The best part of dry ice cleaning is that equipments are cleaned on the site itself. There is no headache of taking the machinery to some other place for cleaning.

Non-abrasive form of cleaning

While cleaning, other methods can damage the equipment to some extent but in dry ice cleaning, you can rest assured that nothing will happen to the equipment. It uses CO2 which sublimates and turns to gaseous state the moment it comes in contact with the surface.

Non-hazardous Cleaning

Though CO2 blasting is used for various industries such as printing, aerospace, automotive, packaging etc but for food and beverage industry, it is highly beneficial since it is completely non-toxic. Unlike other methods, it doesn’t make use of any chemicals, solvents, sanitizers or detergents. It uses harmless CO2 pellets.

No Usage of Water in CO2 blasting

The other reason why dry ice blasting is the ideal choice for food industry is that it doesn’t involve the use of water in its cleaning process. This is useful especially when the equipment are sensitive to water.

No Secondary Waste

The added advantage of dry ice cleaning is that it doesn’t generate any extra waste while cleaning. The only waste that gets generated is the one from the cleaning site itself.

Retards Bacterial Growth

Dry ice also destroys and retards the growth of fungus and bacteria such as salmonella and listeria, as it’s temperature is at -109 degrees F. At this temperature, all the bacteria and fungi present in the equipments get killed.

Reduces Cost

Dry ice blasting manages to reduce the overall cost as it eliminates the need to dispose of extra waste, transportation of equipments to other sites and reduces the production downtime and overall cleaning time.

Abrasive $89.22 An abrasive is a material, often a mineral, that is used to shape or finish a workpiece through rubbing which leads to part of the workpiece being worn away. While finishing a material often means polishing it to gain a smooth, reflective surface it can also involve roughening as in satin, matte or beaded finishes. Abrasives are extremely commonplace and are used very extensively in a wide variety of industrial, domestic, and technological applications. This gives rise to a large variation in the physical and chemical composition of abrasives as well as the shape of the abrasive. Common uses for abrasives include grinding, polishing, buffing, honing, cutting, drilling, sharpening, lapping, and sanding (see abrasive machining). (For simplicity, mineral in this article will be used loosely to refer to both minerals and minerallike substances whether manmade or not.)

Sand Mining $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Sand mining is a practice that is becoming an ecological problem as the demand for sand increases in industry and construction. Sand is mined from beaches and inland dunes and dredged from ocean beds and river beds. It is often used in manufacturing as an abrasive, for example, and it is used to make concrete. As communities grow, construction requires less wood and more concrete, leading to a demand for lowcost sand. Sand is also used to replace eroded coastline.
