SS Foundry Chemical Industries (SSFCI) besides being recognized as a leading manufacturer and supplier of carbon dioxide , hydrogen and nitrous oxide plants has also been able to create a reliable name in the market as a manufacturer of dry ice plants. Dry ice is the solidified form of CO2 and is used widely in food and pharmaceutical industries. Knowing the importance of dry ice, we take utmost care in the manufacturing of dry ice in our plants under the surveillance of our trained professionals.


The process
We produce dry ice by lowering the pressure of liquid CO2, through a nozzle or other constriction. A portion of the liquid CO2 is passed through the nozzle. Here it is vaporized and at a very low temperature the remaining liquid is cooled. This process converts the final material into snow, an thus forms the "Dry Ice" or Solid Carbon dioxide. Our dry ice is available at a temperature of -80°C. The dry ice produced in our plants.

• Causes faster and more thorough cleaning.
• Decreases downtime through cleaning in-place.
• Eliminates any chances of equipment damage.

Types, capacities and machines
Our dry ice is available in two forms: cylindrical blocks and rectangular blocks. We also supply machines to our clients to cut blocks of ice, to put dry ice on conveyor belts of food/medicine, to fill dry ice in packages. Our plants can produce dry ice snow at the rate of 5-10 kg/hr

Applications
Because of the superior quality, our dry ice is used in various applications like as follows:

• It is used in preservation of meat and other food especially when it is transported to longer distances.
• It is extensively used in lowering temperature and cryo grinding.
• It is through dry ice, heat sensitive chemical reactions are carried at lower temperature.
• Tempering of blades is basically done with the use of dry ice.
• Shrink fitting is done by using dry ice for closer tolerances.
• Dry ice is used for cleaning, blasting, using small pellets.
• The dry ice evaporates to CO2 gas and thus, it is an environmental friendly process.
• Dry ice blasting is a better method as compared to other traditional cleaning methods.
