At the core of our machine lies the Siemens PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and HMI Touch Screen. As the machine’s central nervous system, it orchestrates every command with flawless precision.
- Flawless Stability: Say goodbye to frustrating system crashes and random production halts. The Siemens PLC is renowned for its rock-solid stability, ensuring your machine runs smoothly, shift after shift.
- Unparalleled Precision: Effortlessly control the exact weight and size of every dry ice block through the intuitive touch screen. This consistency guarantees product quality and enhances customer satisfaction.
- Simplified Operation: The user-friendly interface reduces operator training time and minimizes the chance of human error, directly lowering your operational costs.
Schneider Electric: The Resilient Heart of Power and Protection

We entrust the critical tasks of power management and equipment protection to Schneider Electric Contactors and Circuit Breakers. This is the robust heart that powers your dry ice block production and shields your investment.
- Extreme Durability: Engineered for millions of cycles, Schneider components easily withstand the demanding, high-frequency start-stop cycles of continuous dry ice production, promising a longer machine lifespan.
- Proactive Protection: It actively safeguards your most valuable asset—the main motor—from overloads and short circuits. This proactive defense prevents catastrophic failures and costly repairs.
- Reduced Maintenance: By using components that are built to last, we dramatically reduce your maintenance needs and the unexpected downtime that comes with inferior parts.
Omron: The Flawless Nervous System for Signal Transmission

Every command from the “brain” (Siemens PLC) is transmitted to the “muscles” (hydraulic valves, motors) via Omron Intermediate Relays. They are the machine’s high-speed nervous system, ensuring every action is instant and accurate.
- Zero-Delay Accuracy: Omron relays provide instantaneous, error-free signal transmission. There are no delays, no missed signals, just perfect execution.
- Perfect Synchronization: This accuracy ensures every mechanical action—from CO₂ injection to compression and ejection—is perfectly synchronized. The result is smoother operation and higher overall efficiency.
- Consistent Quality: Flawless signal transmission contributes directly to the consistency of your final product, ensuring every block of dry ice meets the same high standard.

What Is the Dry Ice Block Production Process?
The dry ice block production process is easy to understand.
- Liquid carbon dioxide introduction: first, liquid carbon dioxide is introduced into the compression chamber of the block dry ice machine through piping.
- Compression: In the compression chamber, the liquid carbon dioxide is compressed to a high pressure.
- Heat transfer cooling: The high pressure liquid carbon dioxide passes through the heat transfer unit where the temperature is gradually reduced to near or below -78.5 degrees Celsius.
- Decompression transformation: When the temperature of the liquid carbon dioxide reaches a critical temperature, it rapidly transforms into solid dry ice.
Why Shuliy? Advantages That Directly Drive Your Profitability
Choosing the right machine is an investment in your business’s future. Our dry ice block making machines are engineered with distinct advantages designed not just to produce dry ice, but to make your entire operation more profitable, reliable, and competitive.
