Start with the problem
Pick the symptom closest to yours. You’ll see the method we’d use and an honest answer on whether dry ice is the right fit – including when it isn’t.
What are you seeing?
Baked-on carbon or sugar on oven bands or trays+
Good fit. Usually cleaned in place with no strip-down.
Release agent or residue in injection moulds+
Good fit. Non-abrasive on most mould steels; textured cavities get a test area.
Dried ink, paper dust and grease on a press+
Good fit. Soft roller coverings get a test area first.
Dust and carbon on de-energised motors or cabinets+
Good fit, only once isolated and tested by a licensed electrician.
Soot or smoke damage on brick, timber or metal+
Often a fit. Soft timbers and heritage masonry need a test area and owner approval.
Rust, mill scale or heavy paint to strip back to metal+
Not a fit. Dry ice won’t remove rust or mill scale – an abrasive method is the right tool. We’ll tell you so.
Bacteria or allergen control on food-contact surfaces+
Not a fit as a sanitiser. Dry ice removes soil; it does not replace your sanitation step.
Must clean while the line keeps running+
Not something we do. Equipment is always stopped and locked out. We help you plan the shortest window.
