Food Production Equipment Cleaning

HACCP-aligned, food-grade cleaning of conveyors, ovens, mixers and packaging lines.

The problem this solves

HACCP-aligned, food-grade cleaning of conveyors, ovens, mixers and packaging lines.

Food production lines accumulate carbonised sugars, baked-on protein, oil residues and product build-up that water-based cleaning can’t shift without long shutdowns. Chemical cleaning introduces residues that must be rinsed and tested for; downtime kills throughput. Dry ice blasting cleans hot or cold equipment in place, with no chemical residues, no water, and no significant cool-down time on ovens — letting you swap from one product to another without losing a shift.

Benefits

Why dry ice for food production cleaning

No chemicals — HACCP friendly

CO₂ pellets are food-safe and sublimate to vapour. No detergents, no rinse step, no chemical residues to test for.

Cleans hot ovens without cool-down

Oven plates, conveyor belts and bake rollers can be cleaned at temperature, saving hours per change-over.

No water in electrics

Motor housings, control panels and PLCs aren’t soaked. No water lockouts, no drying time.

Fits CIP / OPC programs

Slots in alongside existing clean-in-place and operator-cleaning regimes.

Saves the equipment

No abrasive media to embed in surfaces. No corrosive chemicals on stainless or aluminium.

Process

How a typical food production cleaning job runs

  1. 1

    Site walk-through

    We assess line layout, sanitation regime, allergen status and downtime windows.

  2. 2

    Trial section

    A short trial run on one zone validates technique and timing before scoping the full clean.

  3. 3

    Phased clean

    Lines cleaned by zone during planned changeovers; HEPA capture where airborne particulate is a concern.

  4. 4

    Validation

    Visual inspection plus optional ATP swabbing for sanitation verification.

Service-specific FAQs

Is dry ice cleaning HACCP compliant?

CO₂ pellets are food-grade and approved for use in food production environments. We integrate into your existing HACCP plan and document each clean.

Can you clean a hot oven?

Yes — and this is the biggest advantage. Bake plates, ovens and tunnels can be cleaned at near-operating temperature, saving hours of cool-down.

Do you handle allergen change-overs?

Yes. We work with QA leads on validated allergen change-over procedures, with documented swab evidence.

Will it damage the conveyor belts?

No — pressure is tuned per belt material. PVC, rubber and modular plastic belts all clean without surface damage.

Does the CO₂ pose any risk to workers?

In confined spaces we monitor CO₂ levels and use ventilation. In normal production halls there is no significant exposure issue.
