Le nettoyage cryogénique impose-t-il un arrêt de production ?

Non. Le nettoyage cryogénique permet d'intervenir sur des machines en fonctionnement, sans démontage lourd, sans eau et sans produit chimique.

Le nettoyage cryogénique abîme-t-il les surfaces ?

Non. La glace carbonique se sublime à -78,5°C au contact de la surface sans friction mécanique. Adapté aux surfaces sensibles : aluminium, pierre naturelle, composants électroniques.

Le procédé est-il compatible avec les normes agroalimentaires ?

Oui. Sans eau, sans produit chimique et sans résidu, le nettoyage cryogénique répond aux exigences HACCP et aux environnements pharmaceutiques réglementés.

Peut-on nettoyer des armoires électriques avec le nettoyage cryogénique ?

Oui. Le procédé est non conducteur et entièrement à sec, idéal pour les armoires électriques, tableaux de distribution et équipements sensibles à l'humidité.

Combien coûte un nettoyage cryogénique en Belgique ?

Le tarif dépend de la surface, du type d'encrassement et de l'accessibilité. Icetec propose des devis gratuits sous 6h. Contactez-nous sur icetec.be/contact.

The problem

Traditional cleaning is costly

Chemical cleaning: hazardous effluent to treat and pay for
High-pressure cleaning: residual water and long drying time before return to service
Incrusted deposits inaccessible manually in complex areas
Cross-contamination between products if cleaning is incomplete
High downtime: production halted during cleaning and drying

The dry ice blasting solution

Clean tank, fast return to service

Complete removal of residue without chemicals or water
Zero effluent to treat, only the loosened deposits need to be removed
Cleaning of complex, manually inaccessible areas
Immediate return to service, no drying needed
Intervention report for traceability and quality file

Types of tanks & reservoirs treated

Our applications on tanks & reservoirs

Food storage tanks

Decontamination of stainless steel food product storage tanks, no chemical residue, HACCP compliant, immediate return to production.

Chemical & pharmaceutical reactors

Cleaning of reactors, synthesis tanks and pharmaceutical equipment between batches with no cross-contamination.

Bulk storage silos

Removal of deposits, scale and residue in silos storing powder or liquid products.

Petrochemical reservoirs

Cleaning of hydrocarbon, lubricant and petrochemical product storage reservoirs, removal of bottom sludge and paraffin deposits.

Water treatment tanks

Cleaning of basins, flocculation tanks and water treatment equipment, scale, biofilm and calcareous deposits effectively removed.

Textile dyeing vats

Decontamination of dyeing and textile treatment vats between two colours, avoids chromatic contamination and reduces waste.

Frequently asked questions

Dry ice blasting for tanks & reservoirs

Yes. The thermal shock of dry ice (−78.5 °C) causes micro-fracturing of even the toughest deposits. Effectiveness depends on the type and thickness of the deposit. Icetec performs a preliminary assessment and can combine dry ice blasting with pre-treatment for the most complex cases.

No, the tank must be emptied and ventilated before any intervention for safety reasons. As CO2 sublimates into gas, proper ventilation is essential for confined space interventions. Icetec assesses access and ventilation conditions before the intervention.

Yes. Dry ice blasting is ideal for stainless steel tanks, it does not scratch or alter the polished surface finish. Pressure is adapted for tanks with epoxy, PTFE or other special interior coatings.
