Dry Ice

Dry ice has a wide range of uses that can meet the needs of different sectors. Especially in areas such as pharmaceutical production, chemical industry and food industry, frozen carbon dioxide (CO) plays a critical role as a cooling medium.

The production process of this special material is carried out under specific physical conditions. At a temperature of approximately -20 ° C and a pressure of 20 bar, liquid CO₂ is stored in low-pressure tanks. When this liquid is transferred to a specially designed pressure cylinder, both carbon dioxide gas and carbon dioxide snow are produced, thanks to reaching ambient pressure and rapid cooling. This snow, at a temperature of approximately -78.5 ° C, is molded by mechanical compression, and in this process, dry ice particles with a diameter of 3 mm and a length of 10 mm are formed.

It offers dry ice to the market in different formats according to user needs: pellet (granules), ingots and plates. Products from 10 kilograms are shipped by being placed in specially designed styrofoam insulation boxes according to demand. For larger demands, special container systems with a dry ice capacity of 600 kilograms come into play.

Key Advantages of Dry Ice Technology

  • The low hardness structure allows dry ice to be used safely even on sensitive surfaces. Thus, a wide range of equipment, from electronic parts to molds, can be cleaned with dry ice without damaging them.
  • The applied dry ice blasting process can be adjusted according to the type of surface to be treated. This flexibility ensures efficient results in areas with different surface structures.
  • This technique offers a more sustainable cleaning solution by replacing environmentally harmful chemical solvents. Using dry ice leaves behind only dirty residue that is separated from the cleaned surfaces.
  • During the process, the dry ice particles sublimate without leaving any waste, i.e. they disappear directly into a gaseous state.
  • Dry ice cleaning process is used to clean machines or production lines.only causes it to stop temporarily, which ensures thatloss of time and production is minimized
