Asco Dry Ice Pelletizer P75i

ASCO’s automatic Dry Ice Machine BP425i produces slices in ten different thicknesses and two different types of pellets with a diameter of 3, 6, 10 or 16 mm (1/8, 1/4, 3/8 or 5/8 in) at the push of a button. Standard slice dimensions are 210 x 125 x 20 125 mm (8.3 x 4.9 x 0.8 4.9 in). Other slice/pellet dimensions are available on request. Depending on the setting, the production capacity ranges from 190 to 400 kg/h (418 to 882 lb/h). The dies for the production of different sizes do not have to be changed manually as they are already builtin and can be controlled at the touch screen panel. The automatic dry ice block, slice and pellet machine ASCO BP425i belongs to the ASCO iSeries line.

At ASCO, iSeries stands for networked production. Whether for fast and efficient problem solving and machine maintenance or for recording production and performance data, the iSeries offers a range of possibilities to connect Industry 4.0 and dry ice production. All iSeries models are equipped with the latest remote maintenance technology and thus offer a variety of services in the areas of remote access, remote data and remote management.

The ASCO Dry Ice Reformer R70i has been developed for producing dense dry ice blocks in various sizes by compressing dry ice pellets. Be it in combination with an existing or with a new dry ice pelletizer, the ASCO Dry Ice Reformer R70i is a very conven­ient tool to complement the dry ice pellet business with dry ice blocks. The compact machine is driven by a powerful and unique hydraulic unit featuring instant push button start. All functions are controlled by a Siemens PLC. A Siemens touch screen provides good overview and easy operation, a comprehensive monitoring, easy maintenance and optimal service planning. An integrated production control system allows to define and supervise the amount of blocks or weight to be produced.

The ASCO Dry Ice Pelletizer P55i is one of the most powerful dry ice machines from ASCO's iSeries line. Having a production capacity of 550 kg/h (1'212 lb/h) it meets the demands for high dry ice quantities plus quality and flexibility in the daily working process. As a model of ASCO's iSeries, it is equipped with stateoftheart remote control devices and thus is ready for a wide range of services in the areas of Remote Access, Remote Data, Remote Management. Be it for fast and efficient trouble shooting and maintenance or for gathering production and performance data the ASCO iSeries offers a wide range of possibilities to link Industry 4.0 with dry ice production. The ASCO Dry Ice Pelletizer P55i is driven by two powerful hydraulic units, which are running independently by the push of a button. This allows the production of identical or different pellet sizes in combination with the offered extruder plates at the same time.
