Everything made... MAKES A MESS!

Everything made makes a mess. It is true. You would be hard pressed to walking into any production facility from food to plastics and find it perfectly clean in the midst of a shift. 

These manufacturing facilities have a few things on their mind before each shift starts:

Safety -  Shifts are opened with safety meetings. We see all the large banners for safety. We see all the boards posting "X days without an accident". It is on the mats in the break room, production entrance, and restroom entrances. There is the factor of OSHA. The fines which can be levied. Shut downs are a risk for repeat or extreme violations. We all want to go home to our spouses, children, hobbies, and rest after work. We need to be whole to give each our best. It is hard to hug and comfort a child without arms. It is tough to earn income as a machine operator without legs. Not impossible, but sure difficult. Death is the ultimate concern.  

Profit - Goods are made to sell for supply and demand. Someone has a need. Someone creates a good to fulfill that need for necessity, speed, convenience, efficiency, lifestyle improvement,... whatever. To get to profit, safety is a must. Open exposure to shut downs, fines, reputation blemishes, negative press, and lawsuits are counter productive.

Production and quality - In order to get to profit, there must be production. Manufacturers must be producing a consistent, quality product customers can depend upon.

Quality, production, safety, and profit all are tied to the cleanliness of the facility overall and each piece of equipment. 

HOW DO YOU CLEAN THAT?

We can clean just about anything with dry ice blasting. Dry ice blasting is well known for quality output restoration and bringing back energy efficiency with machinery, ovens, dryers, fabrication, augers, mixers, vats, holding tanks, vacuums, bits, molds, stamps, tracks, belts, rollers, wheels, pulleys, lubrication areas, turbines, blades, coolers, concrete, safety railing, confined space work areas, and so much more.

WILL IT DAMAGE THE EQUIPMENT / AREA?

Dry ice blasting is non-abrasive blasting, unlike other medias (sand, walnut shell, bead, glass, and other blasting medias). It is also non-toxic.

TOP REASONS FOR DRY ICE BLASTING

There are countless reasons why to choose dry ice blasting over manual labor, chemical agents, other traditional cleaning methods (... because we have alwasy done it that way), or the ultimate... the combination of all the above to lose extensive production time.

First, the top excuses and reasons for not switching to dry ice blasting:

1. We don't do that here
2. Never heard of it
3. You mean like sand blasting? We've been down that road
4. "... because we have always done it that way." - my favorite
5. I heard it cost to much
6. We don't have the budget for that (without having a consultation and cost presented)
7. I don't know who would make that decision

TOP REASONS FOR DRY ICE BLASTING

• ·         Machinery can be cleaned in place and often does not require tear down, thus no excessive rebuild
• ·         FDA and EPA approved cleaning so perfect and perfectly safe for food processing
• ·         Fewer required cleaning cycles with like new quality restoration
• ·         Eliminates your staff from cleaning cycles and downtime
• ·         Meets USDA, FDA, and EPA standards
• ·         Dry ice blasting has the least amount of verbiage with OSHA compared to other blasting medias on their “PROTECTING WORKERS FROM THE HAZARDS OF ABRASIVE BLASTING MATERIALS” document and is referred to by OSHA as “… alternative, less toxic blasting media”
• ·         Non-flammable, non-abrasive blasting and does not cause damage to most substrates
• ·         Able to clean into small or tight, hard to reach areas. If we can see it, we can blast it
• ·         Operator safety – we follow all of your PPE and safety guidelines along with OSHA. We work directly with your Safety Manager, Confined Spaces Certified staff, and attend all onsite safety meetings
• ·         We often work in 4 to 1 – 6 to 1 ratios; meaning we can often do in 1 hour what takes 4 to 6 people 4 hours to do
• ·         LESS DOWN TIME AND RESTORED TO PRODUCTION DAYS AHEAD OF MANUAL / TRADITIONAL METHODS
