What is a Summit Cryo recurring service agreement?

A written schedule of dry ice blasting visits across an agreed set of assets, at an agreed cadence, with the scope, access windows, and documentation fixed up front. You get planned dates and a known cost per visit instead of raising a one-off purchase order every time buildup becomes a problem.

How far ahead should we start planning 2027 work?

If your spend goes through a budget cycle or a formal bid, start the conversation while the 2027 numbers are still being shaped — typically the quarter before your fiscal year opens. We can provide a scoped figure you can carry into the budget, then convert it to a contract once funding is approved.

Can you work around our production schedule?

That is the normal case. Most recurring programs run on nights, weekends, or planned shutdown windows. Because dry ice blasting uses no process water and adds no spent blast media — dislodged contaminant still has to be contained and collected — a lot of equipment can be cleaned in place, which is what makes a repeating window realistic in the first place.

Do you take subcontract work from other contractors?

Yes. Restoration GCs, facility services firms, industrial maintenance contractors, and equipment dealers bring us in as the dry ice specialist on their scope. We work under your contract with your client, to your documentation standards. Terms are agreed per partner in writing — we do not publish blanket wholesale rates.

What happens after we submit a program request?

We review your asset list, access windows, and documentation requirements, then propose a recurring scope in writing. Nothing is booked until you have that scope and the pricing in front of you.

Recurring Dry Ice Programs & 2027 Contracts

Why a program

The cost of unplanned cleaning is rarely the invoice.

It is the production hour you gave up, the audit finding you had to answer, or the emergency mobilization you paid for because buildup was left until it stopped the line. A schedule removes the surprise from all three.

Planned windows

Visits scheduled against your shutdown, weekend, or night windows so cleaning stops competing with production for calendar space.

Consistent scope

The same asset list, the same standard, every visit. Buildup never gets back to the point where it needs an emergency intervention.

Documentation built in

Before/after photo records per asset, delivered on a schedule you can hand to an auditor, adjuster, or your own leadership.

Budget-ready numbers

A written annual figure you can carry into a 2027 budget line or a formal bid, before anything is committed.

How it gets set up

Four steps, nothing signed early.

01
Asset walk
We walk the equipment, agree what is in scope, and identify what genuinely needs dry ice versus what does not.
02
Written program scope
Cadence, windows, assets, documentation, inclusions and exclusions — on paper before any commitment.
03
Trial visit
Most programs start with a single scheduled visit so you can judge the result and the disruption before signing a year.
04
Agreement and calendar
Dates locked for the term, with a named point of contact and an agreed escalation route for urgent work between visits.

Program paths

Three ways a program usually gets built.

The intake form below is the same for all three — pick the one that matches how your work is planned so we scope against the right calendar.

Fleet & heavy equipment

Route-based visits for trucks, trailers, loaders, dozers, ag equipment, and shop assets — cleaning cycled through the fleet rather than done all at once.

Undercarriages, frames, engine bays, radiators and coolers, hydraulic valve banks
Cadence set around your PM intervals or seasonal changeover, not a fixed calendar we impose
Per-unit photo record so a dealer, lessor, or insurer has a condition trail
Units are cleaned de-energised and immobilised under your own lockout/tagout and shop rules

Substrate suitability — paint, decals, wiring looms, seals and sensors — is confirmed with a test patch on a representative unit before a route is scheduled. Dry ice removes grease, carbon, and soil; it is not a coating-removal or corrosion-repair step.

Scope a fleet route

Industrial shutdown & turnaround

Crew booked into a planned outage, turnaround, or annual shutdown window as one line in the outage plan, scoped alongside your other contractors.

Scope agreed against the outage schedule, with the assets and hours we need stated up front
Sequencing with mechanical, electrical, and insulation trades so we are not competing for the same space
Confined and low-airflow areas require ventilation and CO₂ monitoring — CO₂ displaces oxygen
Electrical equipment is cleaned de-energised, under your site's lockout/tagout and permit system

Outage dates are held subject to crew availability and travel, and are confirmed in writing when the scope is agreed. Hazardous materials — lead, asbestos, silica, PCBs, biohazard — are outside our scope without a licensed abatement contractor engaged.

Book into an outage

Facility & production recurring

Standing visits against sanitation shifts, changeovers, or maintenance days at food, beverage, and manufacturing sites.

Fixed asset list per visit — ovens, conveyors, frames, coils, overhead structure, packaging equipment
Mechanical soil removal only; it does not sanitise or disinfect and does not replace your sanitizer step
Photo and time record per asset for your own records
Containment and collection of dislodged contaminant agreed in the scope before the first visit

Whether this step fits inside your SSOP or HACCP plan is your QA team's determination. We make no claim that the work meets or satisfies any regulator or audit scheme.

Scope a facility program

2026 post-season reset

Use the shoulder season to clean what you can't reach in July

Grease, carbon, smoke-residue sources and production buildup accumulate all summer. Once traffic drops, there is finally a window to work on hoods, kitchen equipment, production lines, fleet assets and back-of-house areas — mechanically, on compatible surfaces, and scoped after a site review.

See the season reset program Request a 2026 post-season site review

Dry ice blasting is a mechanical cleaning or pre-cleaning method for compatible surfaces. It is not a sanitizing step; food-contact sanitization stays under your facility's approved SOP.
