Dry ice pellet machine | Solid co2 pelletizer (3-19mm)

Dry ice pellet machine, also named a dry ice pelletizer machine, is designed to transform liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) into dry ice pellets, which can be used in producing smoke effects, food preservation, cold chain transportation, dry ice cleaning, etc. Dry ice pelletizers have been often used in restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, seafood markets and aquatic processing factories. In different situations, a dry ice pelletizer machine can be used together with a dry ice blasting machine, or a dry ice block machine. The dry ice granular machine has a compact structure, with high outputs and production efficiency. The control system adopts high-end PLC and full touch screen operation to further realize machine automation. The dry ice produced has a high density. The high-purity characteristics also reduce the consumption rate. The cartridge design can produce food-grade dry ice granules. It can also replace the ice module according to the customer’s requirements.

1.To refrigerate food. Because dry ice is a good coolant, it can form a lower temperature environment when storing food, which is conducive to food storage.

2. Used in the food and beverage production field. Dry ice is often added to ice cream and drinks as an “ingredient”, which is cool when drinking, and greatly improves the taste of drinks.

3. To make stage effects. Because dry ice can be directly evaporated into low-temperature and dry carbon dioxide gas, it can form a virtual cloud effect, which is often used for stage performances.

4. Used for industrial cleaning. Because dry ice is easy to evaporate, it can be used for cleaning the dirt on the inner parts in industrial equipment without damage to it.

Working principles of Dry Ice Granular Machine

Dry ice is made from liquid carbon dioxide in a temperature-controlled pressurized storage container. The insulated wire connects the storage container to the granular production unit. The carbon dioxide is then released in the closed chamber and rapidly expanded into gas evaporation and dry ice. It is compressed into a cake and extruded through a die to form high-density particles.
