Dry ice blast cleaning applications are available to many industries offering tremendous value. Dry ice blasting can have specific benefits to the following industries but may also be used for a wide range of other applications:

• Food Processing
• General Maintenance
• Hazardous Waste
• Marine
• Pharmaceuticals
• Plastics
• Printing
• Rubber

It can also be used on the following applications:

• Chewing gum removal
• Transportation of temperature sensitive products including medical supplies and frozen food.

Dry ice can be practical in the food processing industry to clean:

• Ovens – baked on residues
• Mixing equipment – cooked and uncooked residues
• Conveyors
• Dryers
• Moulds
• Packing equipment
• Glue heads – glue residues

Dry Ice blasting can be used to remove a wide range of contaminants from equipment or machinery in the general maintenance industry including:

The cost of hazardous waste removal can be expensive. Typical cleaning methods increase this problem because of the cleaning materials e.g. water, solvents, sand etc, become secondary contamination when they come into contact with the primary contaminant and therefore also must be treated as hazardous waste. Since dry ice sublimates upon contact with the target surface, no secondary waste accumulates. The volume of hazardous waste is therefore reduced to minimal amounts, which can amount to huge savings.

In the marine industry, dry ice blast cleaning can be more effective and can cause less damage than traditional blasting methods. Jetvent’s dry ice blasting can clean:

• Aluminium & fibreglass hulls
• Engines
• Electrical panels

Dry ice blast cleaning applications for the pharmaceutical sector include:

• Stainless steel containers
• Mixers
• Tablet moulds
• Separators

Printing requires tremendous maintenance, and finding effective solutions for minimising expenses are extremely valuable. Dry ice blasting can reduce a full days cleaning job down to an hours time. It also provides a more thorough cleaning to other traditional cleaning methods.

Dry Ice Blasting has major benefits as a cleaning method. It can dramatically reduce downtime as it allows for cleaning of moulds in-situ. Dry ice also provides a superior clean allowing for a longer machine life and helps to eliminate or reduce contaminants.
