Buy this item and earn 980 points valued at $9.80. Ideal for tissue preservation, specimen shipping, and biologicals manufacturing. The latest design in benchtop dry ice making utilizes a patented heat exchange technology. No need to dismantel machine to retrieve dry ice block. Provides up to 30% better yield from a standard 50 pound CO2 cylinder (with siphon)
Specs:
- Size of dry ice block: 6"x4"x1-1/2" (15.24x10.16x3.81cm)
- Approximate weight of dry ice block: 1 pound (0.45 kg)
- Yield from a 50 pound CO2 Cylinder: 9-12 blocks. We recommend the 50 pound sized tank due to optimum dry ice production. Yield significantly increase at lower temperature (e.g. at zero degrees F, approximately 1/3 more blocks will be produced)
- Size of Dry Ice Machine:9-1/8"x8-3/8"x5-5/8"
Features:
- Machine show above will produce 9-12 dry ice blocks from 50 pound CO2 cylinder
- "Smart Fit" dry ice blocks offer more usable payload space in shipping containers
- Sturdy, no-tip design and stainless steel construction
- Easy to use and retrieve dry ice blocks, no dismantling required
- One-year warranty on all parts.
Note:CO2 cylinder not included. Required cylinders of liquid CO2 complete with siphon are readily available from industrial gas dealers or welding supply houses
What is Dry Ice?
Dry ice is solidified carbon dioxide (CO2). Distinct from regular ice, which exists at temperatures of 32°F (0°C) and below, dry ice is extremely cold, -109°F (-79°C). Unlike water ice, dry ice does not melt. Instead, it sublimates (changes directly from solid to gas), releasing CO2. Carbon dioxide vapor is substantially heavier than air. In confined, poorly ventilated spaces it can displace air, causing asphyxiation. It is even possible for CO2 vapor to accumulate in low-lying areas, out-of-doors, under zero or very light wind conditions.
WARNING!
AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES! Dry ice is extremely cold, -109°F (-79°C) and can cause severe frostbite within seconds of direct contact. (Frostbite is a freezing injury resembling a burn.)
NEVER HANDLE DRY ICE WITH YOUR BARE HANDS. Always wear insulated gloves. Safety glasses, long-sleeved shirt, long pants and shoes are also recommended. Use tongs to handle blocks of dry ice.
DO NOT PUT DRY ICE IN YOUR MOUTH OR OTHERWISE INGEST IT. If dry ice is accidentally ingested, it can cause severe internal injury. Never put dry ice in beverages to cool them.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Only adults should handle dry ice.
OBTAIN DRY ICE IN THE FORM AND SIZE IN WHICH IT WILL BE USED. Never saw a block of dry ice; never use a hammer to break a block of dry ice into smaller pieces
DO NOT PLACE DRY ICE IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH PERISHABLE FOODS OR BOTTLED/CANNED BEVERAGES. Produce may sustain severe freezer burns and bottle/canned beverages may split or explode
Disposal of Unused Dry Ice
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DUMP UNUSED DRY ICE. Allow the dry ice to sublimate or evaporate to the atmosphere in a well-ventilated area where no build-up of carbon dioxide vapor can occur.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF DRY ICE IN SEWERS, SINKS, OR TOILETS. The extreme cold will harm sink disposal, toilet parts and pipes.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF DRY ICE IN GARBAGE RECEPTACLES OR GARBAGE CHUTES.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF DRY ICE IN AREAS ACCESSIBLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC
