Can Dry Ice Blasting be used in the Pharmaceutical Industry?

Yes, the pharmaceutical industry sets high hygiene standards.  Dry ice blasting is therefore the ideal cleaning method. It is a clean and dry process that effectively and quickly removes coatings and deposits from moulds, conveyors, containers, mixers and other production equipment.  Steam and water-based cleaning methods can produce health risks.  Firstly, steam can provide a breeding ground for bacteria and other micro-organisms.  Dry ice blasting is a dry process that eliminates this problem.  Secondly, cleaning with water and steam can increase the risk of accidents with electronics.  As dry ice vaporizes on contact with the surface being cleaned, there is no secondary waste material.  Because dry ice blasting is a non-abrasive process, moulds used in production cannot be damaged.
