What is dry ice?

Dry ice is the solid form of CO2 with a temperature of -79°C. Carbon dioxide (CO2) doesn't exist as a liquid at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure. So dry ice doesn't melt (hence it is "dry") but sublimates - meaning that the CO2 goes directly from solid to gas as it absorbs heat. For cleaning purposes dry ice in the form of 3 mm diameter pellets are most commonly used. For cooling and catering purposes, we recommend 10 mm or 16 mm diameter pellets.

How is dry ice made?

Dry ice pellets are made from liquid CO2 stored in a pressurized tank. When expanding the liquid CO2 forms snow, this snow is compressed and extruded through an extruder plate giving the final dimensions of the dry ice pellets. Dry ice pellets are made by our Cryonomic dry ice production machine, also known as Pelletizer.

We offer complete dry ice production solutions including installation, commissioning and maintenance. Pelletizers come with exchangable 3mm, 10mm or 16mm extruder plates and spare part set. Hydraulic oil is packaged seperately and only dispensed in to the machine during commissioning.
