In industries where temperature control is critical, having a reliable source of high-quality dry ice is essential. Shuliy Machinery offers a robust and efficient dry ice block making machine, designed to meet the rigorous demands of the global market. This industrial-grade machine is your in-house solution for producing dense, long-lasting dry ice blocks for a variety of applications, from cold chain logistics to industrial cleaning.
Advantages of the Shuliy Dry Ice Block Making Machine
Our machine is engineered for performance, reliability, and ease of use. Choosing our dry ice block making machine provides your business with several key benefits:
- High-Density Output: The machine utilizes a powerful hydraulic system to compress dry ice snow into solid, high-density blocks (up to 1550 kg/m³). Denser blocks sublimate slower, providing longer-lasting cooling performance.
- Efficient Production: With an advanced design and a liquid-to-solid conversion ratio of 42% or higher, our machine minimizes raw material waste. It offers continuous, stable production to meet your output needs.
- Durable and Hygienic: Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, the machine is built to last. Its surface is easy to clean and resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for food and medical-grade applications.
- Adjustable Block Size: Gain flexibility in your production. The machine can produce blocks with a standard cross-section of 125x105mm and an adjustable thickness (from 15mm to 70mm), allowing you to customize the product for specific needs.
- User-Friendly Operation: Equipped with a modern PLC control system and a touch screen interface, operating the dry ice block making machine is straightforward. The automated process ensures consistent quality with minimal operator intervention.
How Does the Dry Ice Block Machine Work?
The working principle is a showcase of precision engineering. The process starts with the primary raw material: liquid carbon dioxide (LCO2).
- Injection: Liquid CO2 is fed from a storage tank into the machine’s compression chamber.
- Expansion: Inside the chamber, the liquid CO2 rapidly expands and vaporizes, causing the temperature to plummet to -78.5°C (-109.3°F). This flash-expansion process solidifies the CO2 into “dry ice snow.”
- Compression: A powerful hydraulic press activates, compacting the dry ice snow under immense pressure. This step is crucial for creating the dense, solid form of a dry ice block.
- Ejection: Once compressed, the finished dry ice block is automatically pushed out of the machine, ready for use or storage.
Applications for Dry Ice Blocks
Dry ice blocks are a versatile cooling agent used across numerous sectors:
- Cold Chain & Logistics: Preserving pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and perishable foods (meats, seafood, dairy) during shipping and storage.
- Food Processing: Rapidly cooling and freezing food products, inhibiting bacterial growth.
- Airline Catering: Keeping in-flight meals fresh and safe for consumption.
- Industrial Cleaning: Blocks can be used for specific cleaning tasks or as source material for dry ice blasting machines.
- Medical and Scientific Research: Transporting biological samples and temperature-sensitive materials.
