Food Processing with Dry Ice
Meat processors use Dry Ice (or Liquid CO2) to keep the meat temperature low and reduce spoilage while processing. Dry Ice has also been shown to preserve the freshness, color and flavor of hearts, livers and other offal products. In Sausage Manufacturing, dry ice keeps the sausage cold during grinding along with retarding the bacteria growth. Dry Ice is used in industrial processing of ground meats and sausages.
The baking industry use Dry Ice in their mixing process to retard yeast growth. Dry Ice also controls the dough temperature during mixing keeping BTUs consistent. As Dry Ice is bacteriostatic, food-grade and residue free, which combined with the fact that it is dry makes it a perfect addition to any food manufacturing process.
Cold Jet Dry Ice for Blasting
The dry ice media used for blasting comes in two forms: pellets (3 mm or smaller) or blocks. The standard 3 mm pellet allows for a more aggressive clean as the particles blasted tend to be larger and more irregularly sized. Shaved block dry ice produces much finer and more consistently sized particles allowing for more delicate surfaces to be cleaned without damage. Blasting with Dry Ice
Cold Jet Dry Ice for Shipping
Dry ice nuggets, block, pellets or slabs are being used for shipping (food products, aluminum parts or biological products). Dry ice slabs are predominantly used by airline caterers; pellets are typically used for smaller packages over shorter distances whereas nuggets are used to ship larger packages over longer distances.

Cold Jet Dry Ice for Food Processing
Dry ice is a yeast retardant. It is also bacteriostatic and fungiostatic and is excellent for removing biofilm. Meat processors and bakers use large quantities of dry ice for these properties. The Dry Ice is mixed in calculated doses into the mixers to keep the mixes cool, preventing the growth of bacteria and fungi and, in the case of baking mixes, to slow the leavening process. Dry Ice pellets are being used instead of direct LCO2 injection because their amount and weight are easier to control and the process is simplier and safer. As it is a dry product it does not add water to the mix.Food Processing with Dry Ice
