Dry ice blasting isn't the center of attention right now, although it should be. There are so many advantages to the dry ice cleaning method that benefit multiple different industries. However, those who are familiar with dry ice blasting have also undoubtedly heard a few things that simply aren't true. So, to clear the air, here are some myths about dry ice blasting, debunked.
Dry ice blasting isn't safe for food prep areas
While it may not seem like dry ice and food go together, dry ice cleaning has actually been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The EPA and FDA have declared cryogenic cleaning methods suitable for use in the foodservice industry, for cleaning and sterilizing equipment, and for sanitizing food manufacturing and processing plants.
Dry ice blasting is expensive
Here's the truth: dry ice cleaning services actually save you money. Dry ice cleaningmachines and media are extremely affordable and can cost much less than other cleaning solutions. Moreover, rather than having your own employees clean and taking time and money away from the company, you can have experienced and trained professionals come and get the job done quickly and efficiently.
Dry ice blasting is harmful
Not only is dry ice blasting safe to use for the operators but it's also an environmentally sustainable cleaning method. There are no harsh chemicals involved with dry ice blasting and no hazardous cleanup. Additionally, since dry ice sublimates upon contact with the surface, there is no need for rags or disposable towels nor any contaminated water to dispose of. There are certain safety measures that should be taken during the cleaning process but dry ice blasting is not inherently harmful.
Dry ice blasting can't be used on electrical components
Typically, when you think of ice you think of frozen water. That can make it hard to believe that dry ice blasting can, in fact, be used to clean electrical components. That's because dry ice isn't ice and is actually solidified carbon dioxide, the same natural trace gas that makes up 0.05% of the atmosphere. Therefore, there's no water involved and it's safe to use on electrical components.
