Cold chain management solutions for the food industry: using dry ice for cost-effective, quality-preserving, and eco-friendly transport refrigeration
Dry ice: the superior cooling solution for refrigerated transport
By replacing traditional frozen water or alternative cooling elements, dry ice maintains a consistently cold temperature of 0°C (32°F) for extended periods – up to 72 hours. This makes it an ideal choice for long-distance shipping or situations where prolonged temperature control is crucial.

The power of dry ice in food transportation
Dry ice is an outstanding choice for transporting chilled or frozen food, thanks to its antibacterial properties and ability to maintain low temperatures effectively.
By incorporating dry ice into your cold chain logistics, you can ensure that your food products arrive at their destination in optimal condition, maintaining both quality and safety throughout the journey.
Benefits for the consumer
Enhanced product quality.
Bacteriostatic properties.
Elimination of contamination risk due to the absence of melted ice.
Extended shelf life.
Benefits in the market
Lower transportation costs.
Decreased weight and fuel consumption.
Increased throughput during peak production times without additional equipment costs.
Consistent quality achieved through uniform temperatures.
Reliable cold chain maintenance during production and distribution.
Enhanced quality
Maintaining a lower temperature during product transport ensures a longer shelf life and superior quality.
The cooling and bacteriostatic properties of CO2 slow down the primary factors of product degradation, thereby extending its shelf life by an additional 2 to 3 days.
Dry ice dosage
Dry ice maintains temperature more effectively and requires less quantity compared to frozen water.
With a cooling capacity equivalent to 270% of regular ice, dry ice is particularly advantageous where space is a critical factor.
Therefore, dry ice stands out as the optimal choice for efficient cooling.
Environment and sustainability
Dry ice is an environmentally friendly option that helps reduce emissions and lower the CO2 footprint.
By using dry ice instead of water for transporting food by air, we can significantly decrease our overall CO2 emissions.
Cost effective
Dry ice offers significant cost-saving potential for transport. Each kilogram of water can be replaced by just 0.3-0.4 kg of dry ice.
Despite its initial cost, dry ice proves to be more economical in the long run due to its efficiency and reduced need for replenishment during transit.
