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
