Dry ice blasting for the pharmaceutical industry
Production equipment, cleanroom surfaces and pharmaceutical machinery require rigorous cleaning without water, without chemicals and without residue. Dry ice blasting meets the strict requirements of the sector while keeping your production lines running.
A technology suited to pharmaceutical requirements
Zero chemical residue
CO2 is classified E290, an inert food and pharmaceutical-grade additive. No product used, no residue to rinse, no cross-contamination risk between batches.
Compatible with cleanrooms
Dry, particle-free process compatible with controlled environments. No liquid introduced, no risk of condensation on sensitive equipment.
No disassembly
Cleaning in place on installed equipment. No disassembly, no reassembly: saves time and eliminates reassembly error risks.
Full traceability
Detailed intervention report for your quality documentation, essential for pharmaceutical audits and GMP compliance.
