How ColdBlast supports Biscuit International with dry ice blasting
Biscuit International is a European market leader in private-label biscuit with multiple production sites. Large-scale biscuit production has cleaning challenges that differ from artisanal bakery: recipe switches, allergen protocols and multi-shift production require a fast, predictable and food-safe cleaning step between runs. ColdBlast supplies Cold Jet dry ice blasting in this type of environment along with multi-site coordination.
The challenge in large-scale biscuit production
In a facility producing tons of biscuit daily over a single line, three challenges consistently appear. First; allergen cross-contamination between recipes (a line producing nut products must leave no traces on a nut-free product). Second; baked-on sugar and dough on plates and ovens, which hardens during longer production stops. Third; conveyors accumulating crumbs and fat film, with risk of quality deviations.
How ColdBlast solves this
We deploy Cold Jet dry ice blasting as in-place cleaning; the line does not need to be dismantled. Between runs, a ColdBlast-trained operator goes over baking plates, conveyors and relevant surfaces. Released contamination is captured or swept up. Because the dry ice sublimates, no moisture or chemical residue remains that could affect the next recipe.
For Biscuit International and comparable organizations this means: switchover in minutes instead of an hour, allergen protocols verifiably maintained, less disassembly (so less wear on clamps, hinges and seals).

How does ColdBlast set up dry ice blasting at a multi-site biscuit group?
We work from a central contract with the parent organization. ColdBlast configures the same Cold Jet machine identically at each site; one training program, one service protocol. That saves coordination time and gives the quality department one point of contact for cleaning compliance.
Which Cold Jet machine does ColdBlast choose for large-scale biscuit production?
For large bakery lines we typically deploy the Cold Jet PCS Ultra (Particle Control® with 28 particle sizes) or the i³ MicroClean 2 (IoT monitoring via Cold Jet CONNECT®). Our engineers select based on fouling type and line speed; PCS Ultra for heavy baked-on soiling on conveyors and ovens, i³ MicroClean 2 for precision cleaning of molds and delicate equipment.
Is dry ice blasting HACCP-compliant as ColdBlast sets it up?
Yes. We integrate the Cold Jet machine into your HACCP plan; capture of released contamination, waste collection, operator checklist per recipe switch. Dry ice (CO₂) is food-safe and sublimates immediately. ColdBlast trains your operators on safe operation and provides documentation for your audits.
How is service organized across multiple locations?
We offer multi-site service contracts with centralized planning. Per machine and per site, ColdBlast tracks when NEN 3140 inspection or preventive maintenance is due. Our engineers travel to your sites or you bring the machine in for major overhaul. Original Cold Jet parts are on stock at our Wateringen facility.
