5 Working Process of Dry Ice Pelletizer
- Liquid CO₂ Feeding: Liquid carbon dioxide is first delivered from the storage tank into the system of the dry ice pelletizer.
- Rapid Expansion and Cooling: The liquid CO₂ rapidly expands under pressure reduction and turns into snow-like dry ice particles.
- Hydraulic Compression: The dry ice pellet machine uses a hydraulic system to compress CO₂ snow into high-density dry ice pellets, blocks, or slices.
- Automatic Forming and Cutting: The formed dry ice is automatically shaped and cut into required sizes before being discharged.
- Storage and Application: The final dry ice products can be used in dry ice blasting, cold chain logistics, food preservation, medical transportation, industrial cooling, and so on.
