The problem this solves
Conveyor framing, oven crowns, and mixer gear housings are where time bleeds out of every sanitation window. Conveyor seams collect baked-on residue; oven crowns build up carbon; mixer housings hold grease and dust the wash crew can't reach without partial disassembly.
The bottleneck isn't the chemistry — it's the access. Wet methods can't reach the seams; manual scraping can't keep up; partial tear-down adds reassembly time you don't have.
Why dry ice blasting fits
Dry ice pellet velocity reaches into the seams, between the rollers, and behind the brackets where wash-down can't. The asset stays installed; the cleaning happens in-place.
Because there's no process water, the bearings, the electrical, and the drive motors stay dry — and the line restarts without a moisture-related fault.
Surfaces and equipment we clean
- Conveyor framing, rollers, and return strands
- Belt undersides (with belt running) for in-process cleaning
- Oven crowns, deck floors, and side walls
- Mixer bowls, beaters, and gear housings
- Hopper interiors and chute transitions
Where this isn't the right method
- Belt replacement or roller swap — mechanical scope.
- Refractory repair inside ovens — that's a separate trade.
How the engagement runs
- 01Asset walk
We walk each conveyor, oven, and mixer and confirm in-place access and LOTO points.
- 02Window-fit schedule
We work in parallel with your wet wash crew so the total window doesn't lengthen.
- 03Per-asset photo log
Each asset cleaned and documented separately for the sanitation binder.
- 04Recurring cadence
Monthly or quarterly is typical for hot lines.
What drives the quote
- Number of assets per visit
- Buildup severity
- Recurring cadence
- Window length
What we bring, what we coordinate
- LOTO on every powered asset before the blast.
- CO₂ monitoring through the sanitation event.
Conveyor, Oven & Mixer Cleaning — questions buyers ask us
Yes for some scopes — slow-speed in-process cleaning of the return strand is common on bakery lines. We'll confirm safe procedure with your maintenance lead.
No — we work alongside them on the assets they can't reach efficiently with wet methods.
