The dry ice block machine is designed to compress dry ice snow into high-density dry ice blocks for cold chain transportation, pharmaceutical logistics, dry ice blasting, and food preservation industries. Our machines offer production capacities ranging from 120 kg/h to 1,000 kg/h, with a CO₂ conversion rate of approximately 42%.
The dry ice briquette machine supports customized block dimensions, allowing customers to adjust the thickness and weight of dry ice blocks according to specific packaging and transportation requirements. Standard block lengths and widths are available, while the block height can be flexibly customized from 18 mm to 210 mm depending on the selected model.

How Does the Dry Ice Block Machine Work?
The dry ice block production process mainly includes four steps.
Step 1: Liquid CO₂ Expansion
Liquid carbon dioxide is released into a chamber where it rapidly expands and forms dry ice snow.
Step 2: Dry Ice Collection
The generated dry ice snow accumulates inside the compression chamber.
Step 3: Hydraulic Compression
- The hydraulic system compresses the dry ice snow under high pressure.
- The compression process increases dry ice density and extends storage time.
Step 4: Finished Block Discharge
After compression, finished dry ice blocks are automatically discharged and prepared for packaging or transportation.
