Clean bottling lines with dry ice — no water, no long disassembly
Dry ice removes caramelised sugar, labels, adhesive and deposits from belts, fillers and sensors through a dry, non-conductive process — no water near electronics, with minimal downtime.
CRYONOMIC COMBI 71R Washing the lines with water and detergent means protected electronics, hours of drying and the risk of mould from moisture left in hard-to-reach areas.
Bottling lines accumulate exactly the kind of dirt that is hard to clean: caramelised sugar, label adhesive, sticky residues — around the belts, fillers and sensors. Washing with water and detergent solves part of it, but brings its own costs: electronics to protect, hours of drying and residual moisture that encourages mould in the tight spots.
Dry-ice blasting avoids water entirely. The CO₂ pellets at -78,5 °C lift the deposits through thermal shock, then sublimate — no water, sand or residue remains. The process is dry, non-conductive and non-abrasive, so sensors, motors and belts can often be cleaned without disassembly, with a much shorter shutdown.
Below you will find the mechanism, the recommended equipment and what it means for downtime and hygiene.
Consequences
What wet line cleaning costs you
- ! Long shutdown for disassembly, washing and drying
- ! Risk to sensors and electronics from water
- ! Residual moisture that encourages mould
- ! Adhesive and caramelised sugar left in tight spots
- ! High water and detergent consumption per cleaning
The solution
How dry ice cleans the bottling line
CO₂ pellets at -78,5 °C lift adhesive, caramelised sugar and deposits through thermal shock, then sublimate — they turn to gas without leaving water or granules behind. The process is dry and non-conductive, so belts, fillers and sensors can often be cleaned without disassembly.
| Parameter | Value | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning medium | CO₂ pellets, -78,5 °C | Lift adhesive, sugar and deposits through thermal shock |
| Water in the process | zero | No risk to electronics, no drying time |
| Residue | only CO₂ gas | The pellets sublimate — nothing to collect |
- A dry, non-conductive process — no water near sensors, motors and electronics.
- The pellets sublimate on impact — no water, sand or residue to collect remains.
- Non-abrasive — it does not wear the belts, guides or precision components.
- Often without full disassembly — much less downtime than wet washing.
