DRY ICE BLASTING OVENS


Many industries use industrial ovens to heat treat, cure, and dry parts.  Over time, build up occurs on the inside. This will interfere at some point with heat transfer, heat distribution, the quality of the finished product, time frames, energy costs, and overall cleanliness. Manufactures routinely clean industrial ovens during preventative maintenance or scheduled shutdowns. Each oven producer has their suggested maintenance and cleaning schedules. The need becomes more frequent with aging units. It isn't cost effective to repeatedly purchase a new unit, but it is to dry ice blast one. If the product is a food, the additional concern is the desired flavor, uneven cooking, potential spot burning, appearance, and undesired excessive drying out.



When should blasting occur? The best time to schedule cleaning is ahead of, or in collaboration with routine maintenance. Another option is when the heating is no longer baking / curing evenly. When you start seeing signs of heated residue, ash, burn marks, and, or the normal curing process is now taking longer to complete. Blasting can be done any time access is allowed, on any shift, during, or around operation hours.


Ice blasting is a mobile operation. Dry ice blasting can occur inside your facility, or outside according to weather allowance. Ovens can be blasted in place, which is the practice of choice by most facilities. 

Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide. Dry ice blasting is the only form of non-abrasive blasting, where dry ice pellets are accelerated in a pressurized air stream and directed at the surface in order to clean it. the method is similar to other forms of abrasive blasting such as sand blasting, plastic bead blasting, or soda blasting but substitutes dry ice as the medium. Dry ice blasting leaves no chemical residue. Dry ice sublimates at room temperature. 

Dry ice blasting reduces the down time of the unit. Dry ice blasting can reduce the cleaning time by up to 60% on most units. There are many testimonials to this fact from plant and maintenance managers. We can help encourage production and maintenance to be on the same team by helping get the unit(s) back into production faster than traditional cleaning methods of the past. Dry ice blasting is both EPA and FDA approved cleaning method.

As Mold Grows, So Does the Cost

Like anything else, as Mold continues to grow, be ignored, and or denied, the cost is also growing, being ignored, and denied... until it is finally assessed and addressed.

This is the case in a home, office, production facility, food or bar establishment, on farms, in grain silos, and so on. Nothing is exempt from mold.

The unbelievable promise over 700 years before Christ

Why do you complain, Jacob? Why do you say, Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord ; my cause is disregarded by my God”? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:27-31 NIV http://bible.com/111/isa.40.27-31.NIV
