This case study features Jean-Luc, hygiene manager of a ready-meal factory in Brittany, France. His plant failed a surprise audit due to baked-on, carbonized grease inside ovens and conveyors. Traditional wet chemical cleaning was slow, created moisture risks, and exhausted workers. After researching, he selected the YG portable dry ice blaster. Using sublimation technology, it removes burnt food residues without water, chemicals, or surface scratches. It drastically cuts cleaning time, eliminates bacterial risks, helps the factory pass hygiene audits, and creates a safer workplace for food production.

The Problem: Baked-On Grease Put Hygiene at Risk
Jean-Luc manages a large food processing plant in Brittany, France, producing ready-to-eat meals, sauces, and packaged salads. The factory operates 24 hours a day, six days a week, so cleaning speed and hygiene are critical. In July 2026, a surprise hygiene inspection found carbonized grease and burnt food residue inside industrial ovens and on conveyor frames. Traditional cleaning with hot water, chemical foaming agents, and manual scrubbing was taking around 2 days per oven. Water also created moisture concerns, while stronger chemicals increased waste and worker exposure.

The Search: Why Dry Ice Blasting Made Sense
Jean-Luc had previously heard about dry ice cleaning from a colleague in the industry. He learned that a dry ice machine blaster uses solid CO₂ pellets that sublimate after hitting the surface, allowing cleaning without water, chemical solvents, or abrasive media. He began comparing different machines and researching portable dry ice blaster prices. Many machines were either too large, had small hoppers, or did not provide enough adjustable pressure for different surfaces. Jean-Luc needed a portable machine that could handle heavy grease and carbon while also cleaning delicate aluminum components. After discussing the ovens, conveyors, and available air supply with YG, he was recommended the YGA625 portable dry ice blaster.

The Demo: Testing the YGA625 Portable Dry Ice Blaster
YG arranged a demonstration for the French customer. The deposits were removed without the scratching associated with abrasive cleaning, and the stainless-steel surface was left dry. The technician also adjusted the air pressure and ice delivery rate to demonstrate different cleaning levels. The YGA625 offered 0–1.6MPa adjustable air pressure, 0–3.6kg/min adjustable ice delivery, a 25kg hopper, 65kg weight, and IP54 protection. Jean-Luc ordered the machine in August 2026.

The Upgrade: From Two Days to Three Hours
The YGA625 portable dry ice blaster entered full production in September. Its compact 440 × 680 × 780mm design made it easy to move between production lines, while the 25kg hopper reduced interruptions during cleaning. Operators could adjust the pressure and dry ice flow according to the type of residue and surface. Heavy carbon and baked-on grease could be treated with stronger settings, while delicate aluminum trays and components could be cleaned more gently. Instead of spending two days cleaning one oven, the factory reduced the process to around 3 hours per oven. YG technicians also trained the workers to optimize the machine settings for different cleaning tasks.
After the Upgrade
Cleaner Equipment and Less Production Downtime
According to Jean-Luc’s records, the dry ice machine blaster reduced oven cleaning time from 2 days to 3 hours and helped the factory reduce production downtime from around 2 days to 1 day per month. The plant also eliminated chemical waste from its previous cleaning process and avoided water during the dry ice cleaning process. Jean-Luc reported that the YGA625 had been used to clean more than 300 ovens and conveyors. After the upgrade, the machine became part of the factory’s regular cleaning routine, helping the team deal with baked-on grease, carbon deposits, and residue on ovens, conveyors, mixers, and other production equipment.
