Co2 Recovery for dry ice production
RE-CO₂ Recovery Systems
Cut Your Liquid CO₂ Costs in Half
Dry ice production relies on liquid CO₂ (LCO₂), but only around half of it converts into usable CO₂ snow during pelletizing. The other half becomes gas that is usually released into the atmosphere—resulting in significant loss and high production costs.
Our RE-CO₂ Recovery Systems solve this problem by capturing and recycling the exhaust CO₂ gas, feeding it back into the pelletizer to produce more dry ice. This process can reduce your dry ice production cost by up to 40% while dramatically improving LCO₂-to-dry-ice conversion. Built with scalable capacities and a modular design, these systems integrate seamlessly with all Cold Jet dry ice pelletizers and many competitor systems, including integrated blasting units. For facilities looking to increase efficiency, reduce CO₂ waste, and maximize output, the RE-CO₂ Recovery Systems offer the most advanced and sustainable solution.
How It Works
Liquid CO₂ enters the pelletizer
50% becomes CO₂ snow (compressed into dry ice)
50% becomes CO₂ gas
Instead of venting the gas, the RE-CO₂ system captures, liquefies, and returns it to the pelletizer
More dry ice is produced using the same input, significantly lowering operational costs
