How dry ice pellet machine technology works

        Dry ice pellet machine technology is an advanced equipment that converts liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) into high-pressure gas, then converts it into a liquid state through a compression and cooling process, and finally releases the liquid CO2 into solid dry ice pellets through a nozzle. Its efficient and controllable ice making characteristics make it widely used in many fields.

Liquid CO2 supply: High-pressure liquid CO2 is provided from the liquid CO2 storage tank. Liquid CO2 is the raw material for dry ice preparation, and its temperature and pressure are under corresponding working conditions.

Compression and heating: Liquid CO2 passes through the compressor, increasing its pressure. Subsequently, the liquid CO2 is heated above the critical temperature through a heater, turning it into a supercritical state.

Entering the nozzle: Supercritical CO2 enters the low-pressure area through the nozzle. In the nozzle, CO2 undergoes dramatic expansion, causing a decrease in temperature and pressure. This process is called expansion refrigeration.

Formation of dry ice particles: Due to the rapid expansion, CO2 changes from supercritical state to gaseous state, and the temperature plummets to subzero. This causes CO2 to condense directly into a solid state, dry ice. Dry ice is produced in the form of pellets, the size of which can be adjusted by controlling nozzles and other parameters.

Collection and Packaging: The dry ice pellets formed are collected and packed appropriately. This can include sorting and screening particles to ensure the product meets specific standards.

Scientific laboratories: Dry ice can be used in laboratories for cryogenic experiments, such as cooling samples and equipment.

        Overall, dry ice pelletizer technology plays a key role in various industries, providing an efficient, clean, and safe cooling and cleaning solution.


Advantages of Dry Ice Pelletizer Technology

        Dry Ice Granulator machine technology has many advantages, making it widely used in many application fields. Here are some notable advantages:

Low-temperature performance: Dry ice pellet machines can produce extremely low-temperature dry ice, often reaching minus 78.5 degrees Celsius (minus 109.3 degrees Fahrenheit). This makes it ideal for many cooling and freezing applications.

Non-toxic and harmless: Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, which is non-toxic to the human body and will not produce harmful substances during handling and use. This makes dry ice widely used in medicine, food and other sensitive fields.

No residue: Dry ice sublimates into a gas, leaving no residue behind, eliminating cleanup and additional disposal costs. This has clear advantages in many cleaning and hygiene applications.

Adjustable particle size: The dry ice pellet machine allows the size of the dry ice particles produced to be adjusted according to needs, making it suitable for different application scenarios.

Efficient and energy-saving: Dry ice pellet machines are usually designed as energy-efficient equipment, reducing energy waste and improving production efficiency by optimizing the compression and expansion processes.

Rapid cooling rates: Due to its efficient expansion refrigeration process, dry ice can cool objects quickly, making it an ideal choice for rapid freezing in production and transportation.

Versatile Applications: Dry ice pellet machines can be used in multiple industries, including food, medical, cleaning, entertainment, and more, demonstrating their wide versatility.

Clean and environmentally friendly: The operation of the dry ice pellet machine does not involve the use of chemical cleaners, and since carbon dioxide is a natural component of the atmosphere, the use of dry ice is also environmentally friendly.

        In summary, dry ice pellet machine technology has become an important tool in many industries due to its low-temperature performance, non-toxicity, no residue, and adjustable particle size, providing efficient, clean, and safe solutions for various applications.(Contact our engineers to customize the solution that best suits you

Working principle and application of dry ice particle cleaning machine technology

        Dry ice particle cleaning machine technology uses the low temperature and high-speed impact characteristics of solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) to project dry ice particles onto the surface to be cleaned, causing the dirt to quickly cool, shrink and become brittle, and then the broken dirt is completely removed through airflow. This environmentally friendly and efficient cleaning method is widely used in multiple industries.

Dry ice pellet generation: First, small and hard dry ice pellets are generated through a dry ice pellet machine. This is usually formed by injecting liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere through a nozzle, allowing it to rapidly sublime.

Accelerated jet: The resulting dry ice particles are accelerated to a higher speed by a high-pressure air stream. Typically, dry ice pellet cleaning machines use media such as compressed air or liquid nitrogen to accelerate the pellets.

Impact surface: High-velocity dry ice particles are sprayed through a nozzle onto the surface to be cleaned. These particles have high speed and kinetic energy, allowing them to impact surfaces effectively.

Instant sublimation: Dry ice particles instantly sublimate into carbon dioxide gas when in contact with the surface. Because dry ice sublimates at a very low temperature (minus 78.5 degrees Celsius or minus 109.3 degrees Fahrenheit), this sublimation process creates a tiny explosive effect.

Physical impact and thermal shock effects: The gas explosion effect caused by the sublimation of dry ice, as well as the physical impact and thermal shock effects, cause dirt, grease, coatings and other pollutants attached to the surface to be hit, broken and peeled off.

Dirt and residue removal: Due to the expansion of CO2 gas formed after the dry ice sublimates, the separated dirt and residue are pushed away from the cleaning surface. The gas generated by this process also plays a sweeping role to ensure cleaning effect.

        During the entire process, the dry ice particle cleaning machine achieves deep cleaning of the surface through the principles of high-speed jetting and instant sublimation without the need for water or chemical solvents, and also reduces the problem of waste generation. This cleaning method is widely used in a variety of industries, especially where efficient, harmless, and residue-free cleaning of surfaces is required.
