Why Dry-Ice for Bakeries & Food Processing?
Sanitation windows are short and expensive: wash-downs soak equipment, invite bacterial growth, and force long dry-times. Packaging lines collect label glue and flour dust overhead; ovens build baked-on carbon that’s slow to remove.
Dry-ice blasting propels frozen CO₂ that flash-sublimates on impact—its thermal/acoustic micro-impulse shears residue without water, chemicals, or grit. The process is dry and non-conductive, so you can clean around sensors, motors, and panels—often at temperature.
Lines restart immediately with no drip or residue. You cut sanitation time, avoid chemical handling, reduce cross-contamination risk, and reach roof-to-floor areas without major teardown—improving QA compliance and OEE.

Core Benefits
Waterless sanitation
Avoid soak, drip, and dry-time; reduce microbial risk and environmental loads.
Clean around electrics
Non-conductive process for sensors, motors, and control panels—no corrosion risk.
Baked-on carbon removal
Dislodge carbon on oven walls, racks, and hoods—no aggressive scraping.
Adhesive & label removal
Lift packaging glue and tape residue without solvents or hand scraping.
Roof-to-floor coverage
Hit beams, lights, cable trays, conveyors, and guards with one method.
Immediate restart
No moisture or chemical residue—resume production right after cleaning.
Fewer consumables
Cut chemical purchases, PPE, wastewater handling, and disposal fees.
QA-friendly process
Support HACCP/QA with a dry, residue-free, repeatable sanitation cycle.

“We moved from weekend wash-downs to mid-week dry cleans. Lines stay dry, QA loves the results, and sanitation time dropped by more than half.”
