With Dry Ice Blasting, time is reduced and the results are better than other cleaning methods. 1) Cut cleaning time by 50% By eliminating the need to cover and uncover adjacent, water-sensitive machinery, downtime associated with cleaning was drastically reduced. The process required one worker instead of three and led to more efficient labor allocation. 2) Major cost savings The plant was also able to cut costs associated with water disposal and the frequent ramifications of a line shutdown. The non-abrasive nature of dry ice blasting drastically reduced [...]

In a highly regulated industry, foodservice facilities must utilize a cleaning process that adheres to strict guidelines. The General Mills Foodservice Plant in Chanhassen, Minnesota is a leading producer of baked and unbaked food products. With the high production levels of the plant, grease, oil, dust and flour accumulate quickly on the conveyors, motors and panels of the cooling tunnels. Cleaning these tunnels manually with steam and water was a less than ideal method for the plant's operations. Conditions in commercial bakeries are closely monitored by regulatory bodies [...]

According to The United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Technical Manual, cooling tower cleaning and chlorination should be performed a minimum of twice a year. These towers require regular cleaning to remove dirt, pollen, dust, insects, and other debris that has built up over time. These contaminants not only affect energy efficiency but can cause a wide array of additional problems, as well, including: Microorganism Growth, which can cause under-deposit corrosion and premature basin failure. Water Treatment Costs can begin to skyrocket. Scale Deposits and [...]
