Behind the Scenes: How Dry Ice Is Made and Delivered

Discover the science, precision, and care behind every block and pellet of Simcoe Gases dry ice.

Dry ice may seem simple, just frozen carbon dioxide, but behind every shipment is a highly controlled process that turns recycled CO₂ into a reliable product for cooling, cleaning, and transportation. At Simcoe Gases, we take pride in ensuring that each pellet, block, or slice meets the highest standards for purity, density, and safety.

Step 1: CO₂ Recovery and Purification

It all starts with carbon dioxide, a byproduct of other industrial processes. Instead of releasing that CO₂ into the atmosphere, Simcoe Gases works with partners to capture and recycle it.The gas is filtered, purified, and liquefied under pressure. This recovery process not only reduces waste but also supports our commitment to sustainability and responsible resource use.

Step 2: Compression and Liquefaction

Once purified, CO₂ gas is cooled and compressed into a liquid state at around -56°C. Specialized equipment ensures a consistent flow and precise pressure control. This liquid CO₂ is stored in insulated tanks, ready for conversion into solid dry ice on demand.

Step 3: Pelletization and Block Formation

To make dry ice, the liquid CO₂ is rapidly expanded through a nozzle, instantly freezing into a fine snow-like material. That CO₂ snow is then compressed into dense blocks or extruded into pellets of various sizes, each tailored to customer needs, from industrial cleaning to food preservation.

Simcoe Gases uses state-of-the-art pelletizers and presses to ensure uniform shape and density. This attention to detail translates into longer-lasting cooling power and cleaner sublimation (evaporation without melting).

Step 4: Packaging and Delivery

Because dry ice continuously sublimates, timing is everything. Our team at Simcoe Gases coordinates just-in-time production and insulated delivery to ensure that every order arrives fresh, full, and ready to use. We offer bulk bins, insulated boxes, and customized packaging options to meet the needs of industries like food processing, logistics, laboratories, and entertainment production.

Step 5: Quality and Safety First

Every batch of Simcoe dry ice undergoes strict quality control checks for purity, density, and temperature consistency. Our team is trained in safe handling and delivery protocols, ensuring customers receive top-quality product with every order.
