Dry ice

Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide (CO₂). This chemical compound exists in three phases: gaseous, liquid and solid — with the solid form known as dry ice.

During the production process, pressurised liquid CO₂ is expanded through a special nozzle. This creates a mixture of CO₂ snow (also known as torris snow) and CO₂ gas, in a ratio of approximately 50/50.

The resulting snow is then compressed into practical forms such as pellets, whilst the released gas is captured in a closed circuit, cooled and recycled into liquid CO₂. This creates an efficient and sustainable production process.

Dry ice sublimates: it changes directly from a solid to a gas as soon as the temperature rises. In doing so, it leaves no residue behind — no melt water, no moisture, no residue.

Thanks to this unique property, dry ice is a particularly efficient and clean coolant, ideal for applications where hygiene and product quality are essential.

Dry ice combines strong cooling capacity with a constant temperature of -78.5 °C and is also very user-friendly.

In food production, it is an efficient solution for quickly bringing products back to the correct temperature when it rises too high.

In addition, dry ice takes up less space than traditional water ice. This allows larger volumes to be transported without compromising on the same reliable cooling performance.
