Question 1

How does dry ice blasting remove sugar residue from processing equipment in Moore Haven?

Accepted Answer

Dry ice blasting accelerates solid CO2 pellets at supersonic speeds to impact caramelized sugar, molasses, and scale. The extreme cold (-109°F) causes thermal shock that fractures sugar buildup, while kinetic energy lifts it from stainless steel surfaces. The CO2 sublimates instantly into gas, leaving zero residue. This process cleans sugar processing equipment, evaporators, and conveyor systems in Moore Haven facilities without water or chemicals—critical for preventing bacterial growth and maintaining food safety.

Question 2

Can you clean citrus processing equipment without contaminating food products?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dry ice blasting uses food-grade CO2 that's FDA-approved for direct food contact. The process removes citrus oils, organic residue, and mold from packing lines and juice extraction equipment without introducing water, chemicals, or secondary waste. We clean Moore Haven citrus facilities while maintaining HACCP compliance and eliminating cross-contamination risks between product runs.

Question 3

What contaminants can dry ice blasting remove from agricultural equipment?

Accepted Answer

Dry ice blasting removes sugar residue, molasses buildup, citrus oils, organic matter, mold, carbon deposits, hydraulic oil, grease, pesticide residue, and scale. In Moore Haven agricultural operations, we clean sugar processing machinery, citrus packing lines, harvesting equipment, tractors, and conveyor systems—removing years of production buildup without damaging food contact surfaces or equipment components.

Question 4

Do you generate wastewater when cleaning food processing equipment?

Accepted Answer

No. Dry ice blasting is a completely dry process that generates zero wastewater. The CO2 pellets sublimate into gas upon impact, and only the original contaminant (sugar, citrus oils, organic matter) falls away as dry debris. This eliminates wastewater treatment costs, prevents drain contamination, and supports Moore Haven's water conservation efforts—critical in Glades County agricultural operations.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Dry ice blasting is non-abrasive and won't damage stainless steel surfaces, welds, or food-grade finishes. The process removes contaminants without etching, pitting, or scratching—preserving sanitary surface requirements for FDA compliance. We safely clean sugar processing equipment, citrus machinery, and food contact surfaces throughout Moore Haven facilities while maintaining equipment specifications and food safety standards.

Question 6
