Cold Chain Is a Supply Problem, Not Just a Process Step
Dry ice sublimates continuously from the moment it is produced. Unlike a cylinder of butane that sits stable on your dock, dry ice is a consumable with a clock running on it, which makes delivery reliability a materially different problem than it is for other supplies.
For operations running fresh-frozen material, that clock determines product quality. Biomass that warms between harvest and extraction loses the volatile terpene content the whole fresh-frozen workflow exists to preserve. Consistent, scheduled supply matters more here than in any other category we handle.
We provide insulated containers and work on either scheduled or on-demand delivery, depending on how your production calendar runs.
Food-Grade vs Industrial CO₂
CO₂ for supercritical extraction systems and CO₂ for general industrial use are not the same specification. Food-grade CO₂ is produced and tested against purity standards appropriate for material that will contact a consumable product; industrial grade is not.
For any extraction feeding a product a customer will ingest or inhale, food-grade is the specification to request, and you should expect documentation supporting it. We supply both grades, so tell our team what the gas is feeding and we will match the specification to the application.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do you deliver dry ice on a recurring schedule?
- Yes. We supply dry ice on either scheduled or on-demand delivery and provide insulated containers. Our team builds the delivery cadence around your production volume and calendar.
- What is the difference between food-grade and industrial CO₂?
- Food-grade CO₂ is produced and tested against purity standards appropriate for contact with consumable products; industrial grade is not held to the same specification. For extraction feeding a consumable product, request food-grade with supporting documentation.
