Dry Ice Blasting for Food & Beverage Plant Cleaning in Ohio
In the food industry, cleanliness isn’t optional—it’s mission-critical. CT Service Systems is here to help Ohio’s food manufacturers keep operations clean, compliant, and moving fast. Our dry ice blasting services remove baked-on grime, grease, adhesives, and food residue from packaging lines, ovens, slicers, and more.
Why Dry Ice Blasting Is Ideal for Food & Beverage Equipment
Dry ice blasters use high-pressure air and frozen CO₂ pellets to lift away stubborn contaminants without moisture or harsh chemicals. When the pellets hit the surface, they instantly sublimate—turning from solid to gas—and remove grime, food waste, oil, adhesives, and carbon deposits with zero residue left behind.
That means no rinse-down, no mess to clean up, and no added risk of microbial cross-contamination. It’s safe for cleaning and sanitizing food-contact surfaces, sanitary zones, and sensitive pieces of equipment. Most impressive of all, this cleaning process meets Food and Drug Administration (FDA) standards.
