General Abrasives had the pleasure of working with MTI Household & Personal Care Health & Beauty Solutions. We were tasked with cleaning a 600 liter mixing tank used to make sunscreen that was coated in zinc oxide.
Our first step was a job walk-through at the manufacturing facility to properly assess the scope of work. Once we set up our equipment and prepped the work area, we got to work.
Starting with the tank, we blasted it with dry ice from top to bottom twice. We used no abrasive media for this project.
In total, the tank cleaning project took 6 hours to complete and 1 additional hour to pack up. Previously, these cleaning jobs were done by hand and would take approximately 2 ½ days to complete. We are proud to have saved HBS on lost production time, cleaning, and labor!
