What are the Power and Voltage Requirements for the SL Dry Ice Pelletizer?
Ensuring proper electrical compatibility is a primary concern for international buyers. Across the entire SL series—from the compact SL-50 to the industrial SL-500—the standard power configuration is a 3-phase, 380V / 50Hz electrical supply.
Why is a 3-phase connection mandatory for dry ice pellet production? Compressing liquid CO2 into solid pellets requires powerful, uninterrupted torque from the hydraulic pump. A 3-phase electrical system provides a highly stable, balanced power flow that prevents voltage drops, eliminates motor stalling under extreme loads, and protects sensitive PLC control boards from electrical surges. Proper earth grounding is, of course, absolutely required for facility safety.
We fully recognize that global industrial power grids vary drastically. Factories in the USA might operate on 480V/60Hz, while certain regions in South America or Asia might use 220V 3-phase or 415V. Our factory offers comprehensive electrical customization. Before manufacturing your specific SL model, simply inform our engineering team of your local grid specifications. We will customize the internal transformers, wiring, and motor frequencies so that when the machine arrives at your facility, it is 100% plug-and-play, saving you the immense cost and hassle of sourcing external industrial transformers.
