In an aluminum packaging production process, it is very common for manufacturers to face problems with grease, oils and release agents in conveyor belts, rollers, electrical panels and mixers.

Usually, companies clean their machines with solvents, chemicals, scrapers, chisels and emery boards, which requires significant labor efforts and significant downtime.

Dry ice cleaning methods allow packaging producers to clean critical areas of their molds on the machine at operating temperatures without creating any secondary waste.

Manual Methods Cleaning vs. Dry Ice Cleaning

Dry ice blasting uses recycled CO2 in the form of solid dry ice particles that are carried by a high velocity air stream to remove surface contaminants. The dry ice particles sublimate on impact from a solid into a gas, leaving no secondary residue.

Unlike manual methods, cleaning with dry ice:

  • Allows cleaning on site: requires minimal dismantling and no loss of production hours
  • No damage to surfaces: dry ice cleans more effectively than manual methods without leaving any secondary residues
  • Reduces scrap and waste rates
