Question 1

How does dry ice blasting remove pesticide residue from agricultural equipment in Homestead?

Accepted Answer

Dry ice blasting accelerates solid CO2 pellets at supersonic speeds to impact pesticide residue, organic matter, and mold. The extreme cold (-109°F) causes thermal shock that fractures contaminants, while kinetic energy lifts them from food contact surfaces. The CO2 sublimates instantly into gas, leaving zero residue. This FDA-compliant process cleans packing lines, sorting equipment, and processing machinery in Homestead's tropical fruit and nursery facilities without chemicals or water.

Question 2

Can you clean food processing equipment without introducing moisture or chemicals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dry ice blasting is ideal for Homestead's agricultural processing facilities because it's completely dry and chemical-free. The solid CO2 pellets sublimate on contact—no water runoff, no chemical residue, no secondary waste. We remove organic buildup, mold, and pesticide residue from packing lines, cold storage systems, and conveyor equipment while maintaining food safety standards and preventing moisture-related contamination.

Question 3

What contaminants can dry ice blasting remove from distribution center equipment?

Accepted Answer

Dry ice blasting removes grease, carbon deposits, hydraulic oil, dust buildup, adhesive residue, rubber particles, and oxidation from warehouse equipment. In Homestead's Amazon and FedEx distribution centers, we clean conveyor systems, sorting machinery, material handling equipment, and loading dock systems—removing years of operational buildup without damaging sensors, bearings, or control systems.

Question 4

Do you need to shut down operations to clean agricultural processing equipment?

Accepted Answer

Minimal downtime required. Dry ice blasting cleans equipment in-place without disassembly or cooldown periods. We remove buildup from packing lines between shifts, clean conveyor systems during scheduled maintenance, and restore cold storage units without defrosting. This eliminates multi-day shutdowns for Homestead agricultural facilities, reducing downtime by 70-85% compared to traditional cleaning methods.

Question 5

Is dry ice blasting safe for stainless steel food processing equipment and sensitive electronics?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Dry ice blasting is non-abrasive and won't damage stainless steel surfaces, food-grade coatings, or electronic sensors. The process removes contaminants without etching, pitting, or corrosion. We safely clean agricultural processing equipment, warehouse automation systems, and distribution center machinery throughout Homestead—preserving surface finishes, sensor calibration, and equipment warranties.
