Everything you need to know about dry ice machines

Dry ice machines are rapidly becoming a must-have for many industries when seeking more environmentally friendly and efficient industrial cleaning methods, or when stable and reliable ultra-low temperature freezing/preservation solutions are needed. As a professional supplier, we know that understanding the core value of the equipment is crucial to decision-making. This article will provide you with a comprehensive analysis of dry ice machines to help you find the solution that best suits your business needs.

What is a dry ice machine?

Simply put, a dry ice machine is a special device that converts liquid carbon dioxide into solid dry ice. The device processes liquid carbon dioxide under specific temperature and pressure conditions to produce high-density dry ice pellets or blocks. The main advantages of dry ice machines are their efficient carbon dioxide conversion rate and superior environmental performance. They are widely used in cold chain logistics, food preservation, industrial cleaning and other fields.

Working principle of dry ice machine

The core working principle of the dry ice machine is to convert carbon dioxide into solid dry ice through the compression, cooling and compression stages of liquid carbon dioxide inside the device. The specific process is as follows:

Liquid carbon dioxide input: First, liquid carbon dioxide is input into the device and enters the pressurization system of the dry ice machine.

High-pressure cooling process: In the pressurized system, liquid carbon dioxide is compressed to a high-pressure state and further cooled through the cooling process to convert it into solid dry ice.

Dry ice molding: The cooled carbon dioxide is squeezed out and molded into dry ice particles or blocks, and then packaged according to demand.

Wide application of dry ice machines

Dry ice machines are widely used in many industries. The following are several major application areas:

Cold chain logistics: Dry ice plays a vital role in cold chain logistics, especially when transporting perishable foods, medicines and other items. Dry ice can provide a stable low-temperature environment, ensure precise temperature control, and extend the shelf life.

Food preservation: The low-temperature characteristics of dry ice can effectively slow down the oxidation and corruption process of food, maintain the freshness and nutritional value of food, and is particularly suitable for the transportation and storage of perishable foods such as fruits and seafood.

Industrial cleaning: Dry ice blasting cleaning technology is widely used in the cleaning of mechanical equipment. Compared with traditional cleaning methods, dry ice blasting is not only efficient and does not cause pollution to the environment, but is also suitable for cleaning oil stains, dust and other difficult-to-remove stains on the surface of cleaning equipment.

Medical transportation: Dry ice is also widely used in the medical field, especially in the transportation of vaccines, blood and other temperature-controlled drugs. Dry ice can provide a stable low-temperature environment to ensure the safe transportation of these temperature-controlled medical supplies.

Key considerations for choosing a dry ice machine

When choosing a dry ice machine for your business, please pay attention to the following points:

Hourly production (Kg/h): Estimate based on your daily/weekly dry ice consumption. Consider the amount of cleaning tasks, transportation and preservation, etc. It is better to be larger than smaller to meet peak demand.

Dry ice mold size: Make sure the size produced by the machine matches the dry ice blasting equipment or application scenario you use.

Size and weight: Consider your installation space (workshop, laboratory, etc.) and ground load-bearing capacity.

Power requirements: Voltage (V), power (Kw/Hp), ensure that the on-site power conditions are met.

Main advantages of owning a dry ice machine

Cost-effectiveness: The cost of self-produced dry ice is much lower than that of purchasing it, especially for users with large consumption, and the investment payback period is short.

Instant availability: Production on demand ensures that dry ice is fresh, sufficient and available at any time, improving work efficiency and no longer subject to supplier delivery time constraints.

Quality assurance: Production is ready for use, with high density, stable quality and low sublimation loss, which is especially important for cleaning effects.

Reduce waste: Only produce the required amount to avoid waste caused by storage (dry ice will continue to sublimate).
