Cryogenic cleaning services create an enormous advantages for pharmaceutical, food manufacturing, and other “ultra-clean” facilities that need to remove debris buildup from line equipment without introducing chemicals, sand, or other abrasives that could contaminate the line’s end product. Thompson Industrial Services, headquartered in Sumter, South Carolina, offers nationwide cryogenic cleaning services based on the use of frozen carbon dioxide pellets. These pellets sublimate immediately on contact with the atmosphere, releasing a powerful blast of energy that strips debris from surfaces without negatively impacting even the most delicate materials underneath.

The cryogenic cleaning process introduces no physical abrasives to the environment, and the immediate sublimation from solid to gas means that there is no liquid component to the process. This absence of moisture makes cryogenic cleaning an ideal solution for servicing robotics and other electronic equipment that may be damaged by water blasting. The size and shape of the carbon dioxide pellets used may be modified to perfectly match the needs of the equipment, surface, and debris included in each unique cleaning project.

Environmental responsibility is another major advantage to the cryogenic cleaning services offered by Thompson. The dry ice blasting process has no polluting by-products and creates no additional debris that must be cleaned from the site. In addition, Thompson Industrial Services collects carbon dioxide produced during other types of services, freezing the gas and recycling it as the basis of its cryogenic cleaning services. This intensely “green” and efficient approach to industrial cleaning is just one reflection of Thompson Industrial Services’ overall commitment to protecting employees, technicians, client equipment, and the environment while also exceeding client expectations in the quality of its services.
