Our capabilities go well beyond dry ice manufacturing. Operating with a fleet of 60+ transport trucks, serving multiple provinces, we are capable of managing and securing full control over the logistics supply chain from manufacturing to last mile.
Dry Ice vs Wet Ice
Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. It is typically less than -100° Fahrenheit. Because there are no water molecules, the carbon dioxide does not melt, but rather sublimates. Sublimation is the transformation of a solid directly into a gas. Meanwhile, wet ice is simply frozen water and ranges 32° F and less.
How is dry ice made?
In order to create dry ice, CO2 gas is pressurized and cooled to form liquid CO2 (LCO2) and is then injected into a pelletizer, or similar dry ice production unit. Within the unit, the pressurized LCO2 is released to atmospheric pressure, which causes it to solidify into a snow-like consistency. This is then compressed into pellets, blocks, or slabs.
