Dry Ice Pellets
Dry ice pellets are small cylindrical pieces of solid CO₂
They are commonly used in dry ice blasting cleaning machines, where pellets are accelerate with compressed air to remove contaminates from surfaces.
Pellet are also used for:
- Industrial cooling
- Cold chain transportation
- Food preservation
- Laboratory applications
Small pellet such as 3mm are especially suitable for dry ice blasting equipment.
Dry Ice Blocks
Dry ice blocks are large solid pieces of dry ice that sublimate more slowly than pellets.
They are typically used for:
- Long-distance transportation
- Cold storage
- Food shipping
- Pharmaceutical logistics
Because blocks last longer,they are commonly produced by dry ice suppliers and distribution companies.
Which Dry Ice Machine Should You Choose?
If you main application is industrial cleaning or dry ice blasting, a dry ice pellet machine is the best choice.
If you focus is long-tern cooling or dry ice distribution, a dry ice block machine may be more suitable.
