Blasting Alliance | Sectors & Industries | Print shops & paper industry
In the modern printing and paper industry, dry ice cleaning has established itself as the most efficient and fastest method for maintaining machines and systems. This innovative cleaning technology is considered by experts and companies to be not only practicable but also indispensable. The cleaning of printing and paper processing machines, which includes essential components such as rollers, rollers, side walls, ink plates as well as gears and printing plates, is considerably simplified by dry ice cleaning. Even complex parts such as delivery units and inserts as well as conveyor belts and gluing machines benefit from this effective method. Even large machines, such as large paper processing machines, can no longer be imagined without dry ice cleaning.
By using dry ice as a cleaning agent, deposits of ink, grease and other residues can be removed effortlessly. This is particularly important as many parts of the machines are constantly in motion. Thorough and reliable cleaning is essential in the printing and paper industry, as there is no room for improvisation or compromise.
The high demands placed on the cleanliness and functionality of the systems can often not be met with conventional cleaning methods. In contrast, dry ice cleaning not only offers thorough cleaning, but also rapid execution. Entire printing towers can be cleaned within a single day, which significantly shortens production times and thus contributes to the efficiency of the entire production chain

The advantages of dry ice cleaning are obvious. It has proven to be more efficient, more ergonomic and, above all, more economical compared to traditional cleaning methods. The costs for downtime are significantly reduced as the machines are ready for operation again more quickly. In an industry characterized by strong competition, it is essential not only to be able to keep up, but also to find innovative solutions in order to remain competitive.
The increase in automated printing processes also requires continuous care and maintenance of the machines. This is where dry ice cleaning comes into its own, as it cleans even hard-to-reach areas thoroughly without damaging surfaces. At a time when sustainability and resource conservation are becoming increasingly important, dry ice cleaning is also an environmentally friendly alternative due to its efficient application. There are no chemical residues and the material cleaned with dry ice can be processed immediately.
A key area of application for dry ice cleaning in the paper industry is the maintenance and cleaning of machines and systems. Paper manufacturing and converting processes are often associated with the accumulation of dust, grease and other contaminants that can build up on machine components. By using dry ice, these deposits can be efficiently removed without the need to use abrasive cleaning agents or water. This not only reduces maintenance, but also minimizes machine downtime, as cleaning usually takes less time than traditional methods.
Another important aspect of dry ice cleaning is avoiding moisture, which can lead to problems in paper production. Wet cleaning processes can increase the risk of mold growth or damage to paper equipment. Dry ice, which consists of frozen CO2, sublimates directly into gas and leaves no liquid residue. This ensures that sensitive machinery and surrounding materials are not damaged by water, ensuring the integrity of the paper produced.
In the printing industry, dry ice cleaning is an effective solution for removing ink residues, ink deposits and other residues. Printing machines that work with different ink systems are particularly susceptible to deposits that can affect print quality. By using dry ice cleaning on a regular basis, printing companies can maintain consistently high print quality while extending the life of their machines.
In addition, dry ice cleaning helps to reduce the environmental impact. Compared to chemical cleaning agents and traditional cleaning methods that can generate harmful waste, dry ice is an environmentally friendly option. It produces no volatile organic compounds and requires no additional chemicals, which reduces health and safety risks for employees.
Dry ice cleaning is far more than just an effective method of machine cleaning in the paper and printing industry – it is an indispensable tool for ensuring quality and efficiency in a highly competitive market. Companies can use dry ice cleaning not only to reduce their operating costs, but also to increase customer satisfaction and gain a competitive advantage.
