Working Principle of the Dry Ice Pellet Maker
Its working principle is not complicated. After liquid carbon dioxide enters the equipment from the storage tank, it is pressurized by the hydraulic system to form dry ice snow in the extrusion cylinder. The snow is then extruded through precision molds and finally formed dry ice pellets come out of the ice holes.
YG series dry ice pellet machine adopts an integrated precision mold with a thickened design. The ice holes are processed by precision boring, ensuring low wear and no deformation during long-term use, and stably producing highly consistent dry ice pellets.
What Are the Technical Advantages of the YG Dry Ice Pellet Maker?
- Precision mold, stable pellet forming: YG series dry ice pelletizer adopts an integrated thickened mold, and the ice holes are processed by precision boring, not easy to deform after long-term use. The machine provides multiple pellet size options from 3mm to 19mm, which can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs to meet the requirements of dry ice pellet size in different application scenarios.
- 316 stainless steel extrusion cylinder, higher durability: The extrusion cylinder is made of 316 stainless steel, with thickness increased by 50% compared with ordinary models on the market. Equipped with stainless steel precision filter plugs, it has higher filtration accuracy and longer service life than ordinary brass filter plugs. The number of filter plugs equipped for each same-output model is more than 3 times that of ordinary models, significantly improving the efficiency of converting carbon dioxide into dry ice.
- Thickened oil cylinder, lower load: The oil cylinder adopts a thickened design with an enlarged cylinder diameter, and the actual load is only 60% of the rated capacity. Even during continuous long-term operation, the oil cylinder still maintains stable output without overheating or power attenuation.
- Precision hydraulic system, stable and reliable: Adopts precision high-pressure variable displacement piston pump with stable operation and smooth load curve. The motor and valve manifold are all first-line brands. Each machine is equipped with an oil cooler as standard. The overall pump station is reasonably designed for long-term stable operation.
- High-quality electronic components: All electronic components are from first-line brands such as Schneider Electric. The power distribution cabinet has a clear, tidy and reasonable layout, effectively ensuring the stability and safety of long-term equipment operation.
How to Use the YG Dry Ice Pellet Maker with Dry Ice Blasting Machines?
For enterprises that already use or plan to use dry ice blasting machines, matching a dry ice pelletizer for sale as upstream equipment brings obvious operational advantages.
YG series dry ice blasting machines, such as YGP8, YGA625i, and other models all use 3mm dry ice pellets. With YG pellet makers producing dry ice pellets on site, enterprises can produce on demand at any time without worrying about dry ice storage loss or supply interruption. Meanwhile, on-site ice production effectively reduces transportation costs and unit purchase price of outsourced dry ice.
The following is the reference of dry ice specifications matched with YG dry ice blasting machine models:
