WH AT IS DRY ICE?

THE MOST SUSTAINABLE COOLING SOLUTION ON THE MARKET Dry ice is based on the conversion of captured carbon dioxide (CO2) into a value added, commercially useful product. It's the product of the carbon capture and utilization (CCU) process in which CO2 is captured at industrial, biogas, or ambient air capture facilities, converted to liquid CO2, and transformed into dry ice - giving it a second life as a cooling and cleaning medium.

THE UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS OF DRY ICE Dry ice cooling operates much like water ice, phase-changing materials (PCM), and nitrogen cooling in its capacity to reduce the surrounding temperature within a confined space. However, its method sets it apart: dry ice cooling employs solid CO2 pellets or nuggets. These are introduced into a container holding perishable items, ensuring their freshness or frozen state. As the dry ice sublimates, there is no residual waste or contaminant left behind.

WATER FREE

SPOILAGE RATES DOUBLE FOR EACH 10°C RISE. SHELF LIFE DOUBLES FOR EACH 10°C REDUCTION.

F

C

°

Organizations such as the EPA, FDA, and USDA have endorsed the safety of using dry ice in food processing.

Since it undergoes sublimation rather than melting, it doesn't leave behind any residual components. Water can pose microbial challenges, but with dry ice sublimation, no water remains.

The temperature of dry ice measures (-109°F / -78.5°C), and its cooling power is thrice that of water-formed ice.

Dry ice is a more cost effective alternative to other cooling methods, such as CO2 snow and refrigerated transportation.

WINERIES Winemaking is truly an art form. During harvest, the best grapes are selected from the vineyard based on their ripeness. The exact time of harvest has a big impact on the flavor and characteristics of the wine. Once the grapes are harvested, they are taken to the winery where they are stripped of leaves, branches, and any damaged grapes. They are then crushed to release the juice. In some cases, especially for white wines, the grapes are pressed to extract all of the juice.

PROTECT THE GRAPES FROM THE HEAT

PROTECT THE MUST FROM OXYGEN

MAINTAIN WINE BATCH CONSISTENCY

CHILLING The juice, now called "must," is transferred to fermentation tanks where yeast is added. The yeast converts the sugars in the must into alcohol. During this process, dry ice pellets are added to the top of the fermentation tanks. The dry ice creates a protective layer that keeps the must from coming into contact with oxygen in the air. The wine is then aged in barrels or other containers before being bottled.

WINEMAKING Dry ice is added to the top of the fermentation tanks. As mentioned, dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air, so it creates a protective layer against oxidation caused by air during the fermentation process. Dry ice pellets that are 3 millimeters in size are ideal for this application.

DRY ICE AS A COST-EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO CO2 SNOW The CO2 snow horn is a widely used device in the meat industry and other food processing industries as a method to "flash freeze" product by covering it quickly with a layer of carbon dioxide "snow." Snow horns are easy to use and require little training for the personnel who use them. The cooling/freezing effect of the -109oF CO2 snow is immediate and used to rapidly freeze fresh meat and other similar products in the food industry. However, for all the pros of using snow horns, there are three primary drawbacks.
