Dry ice is liquid carbon dioxide released at atmospheric pressure. The change of state from solid to gas occurs without a liquid phase: hence the name ‘dry ice’. Special equipment, called palletizers, transforms it into pellets with different diameters depending on the application or into briquettes generally used for refrigerated food and pharmaceutical transport. The sublimation phase (change from solid to gas) takes place constantly: it cannot be stopped but can be slowed down by using containers with high thermal insulation. DRICY insulated containers have been specially designed and manufactured for handling, storing and transporting dry ice, limiting its weight loss and maintaining its quality (fluidity of the pellets and shape of the tiles). Overall heat transfer coefficient K= 0.29 W/m2K TECHNOLOGY AND MATERIALS Produced with rotational moulding technology, they are free of edges, joints and welds. Made of polyethene suitable for food contact and insulated with CFC- and HCFC-free polyurethane foam, they guarantee low heat dispersion. Accessories and components are made of stainless steel to meet high-quality standards. GREEN SOLUTIONS Made from recyclable materials, they are recycled at the end of their operating life to create new products.
