Dry ice, also known as frozen carbon dioxide, is often used as a cooling or blasting agent. It offers the ideal way to cool food or other sensitive items to keep them fresh or to transport them. In the form of pellets or nuggets, it is stored and transported in special cool boxes.
When storing and transporting pellets or nuggets in insulated boxes, it is important to keep a few things in mind. First of all, it is crucial to use the right amount of ice. This depends on the size of the box and the items it contains. Too little will result in the temperature not being lowered enough and it not being cold enough, while too much can result in the cooling being too strong.
To cool dry ice effectively, it should be stored in an insulated cool box. This box should have a tight lid to prevent gaseous carbon dioxide from escaping. Ideally, the container should be made of polystyrene or a special thermal box that provides good insulation and keeps the cold inside the box.
Special cool boxes designed to withstand the extreme temperatures of dry ice are suitable for transportation. These boxes are designed so that they can be transported safely and efficiently without the dry ice melting or losing its cooling effect.
Dry ice emits gaseous carbon dioxide when it evaporates, which can be dangerous in enclosed spaces. It is therefore important to only use and store dry ice in well-ventilated areas. It should never be stored in an airtight cool box as the gas cannot escape and the pressure inside can build up and lead to a potentially dangerous gas leak.
Dry ice is an extremely effective cooling and blasting agent that is ideal for the storage and transportation of food or other sensitive items as well as for cleaning purposes as a blasting agent. With the right amount, an insulated box and the appropriate precautions, dry ice can be used safely and efficiently.

Dry ice is used in various forms for different applications. Dry ice nuggets are often used to cool food and medical samples. Their icy temperature of around -78.9 degrees Celsius makes them ideal for transporting and storing temperature-sensitive materials. They are easy to handle and can be efficiently placed in cool boxes to achieve and maintain the desired cooling state.
Another area of application for dry ice is as a blasting agent in industry. Dry ice pellets serve as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional blasting agents such as sand or glass. In dry ice blasting, the pellets are shot onto the surface to be cleaned using compressed air. The abrupt temperature difference between the cold dry ice and the material on the surface creates a layer of frozen CO₂ that loosens dirt and coatings.
Dry ice nuggets for cooling and dry ice pellets as blasting media are versatile tools that are used in various industries and impress with their efficiency and environmental friendliness.
Whether it is worth producing dry ice yourself or buying it from external suppliers depends on various factors.
The main advantage of self-production of dry ice lies in the flexibility and control over the quantity and quality of the dry ice produced. Depending on demand, companies can increase or reduce their production without having to rely on external suppliers. They can also ensure that the dry ice is always fresh and of the highest quality.
However, the production of dry ice requires special equipment and expertise, which can mean additional costs and effort. In addition, bottlenecks can occur in self-production if the equipment breaks down or there is not enough capacity available.
On the other hand, buying dry ice from external suppliers can be a more cost-effective option, especially for smaller companies that do not have the resources to produce it themselves. External suppliers often have greater production capacity and can offer dry ice at competitive prices.
The decision to produce dry ice in-house or purchase it externally depends on the company’s individual needs and resources. Larger companies with a high demand for dry ice may benefit from self-production, while smaller companies may be better served by purchasing dry ice from external suppliers. Ultimately, it is important to carefully weigh the pros and cons to make the best decision for the company.
