How Does the Dry Ice Block Machine Work?
The dry ice block production process mainly includes four steps.
Step 1: Liquid CO₂ Expansion
Liquid carbon dioxide is released into a chamber where it rapidly expands and forms dry ice snow.
Step 2: Dry Ice Collection
The generated dry ice snow accumulates inside the compression chamber.
Step 3: Hydraulic Compression
- The hydraulic system compresses the dry ice snow under high pressure.
- The compression process increases dry ice density and extends storage time.
Step 4: Finished Block Discharge
After compression, finished dry ice blocks are automatically discharged and prepared for packaging or transportation.
