FAQ

For a heavy-duty dry ice machine, the hydraulic oil is its lifeblood. Under normal operating conditions, we recommend the first oil change after the initial 500 hours of “break-in” operation to remove any microscopic particles. After that, a full oil change every 2,000 operating hours or once a year is standard. Keeping the oil clean…

Maintaining your dry ice making machine ensures a long and profitable lifespan. Daily, you should check the hydraulic oil level and ensure the ventilation area is clear. Weekly, we recommend a visual inspection of the CO2 connections and a quick cleaning of the exterior to prevent dust buildup. Monthly, as a leading dry ice machine…

Before you initiate the one-button start on your dry ice block maker, there are three quick check-off items. First, ensure the hydraulic oil level is between 70% and 80% on the gauge to protect the pump. Second, verify that your CO2 to dry ice machine is properly connected to a 380V power source and that…

Operating our equipment is exceptionally straightforward because it is a true automatic dry ice machine. Most new operators require less than 30 minutes of training to become fully proficient. The Siemens interface is intuitive, and since the core production cycle is handled by the system logic, the user mainly needs to monitor the output and…

The cycle time—the time it takes to produce one block from start to finish—varies slightly depending on the model and the desired block thickness. Generally, a complete cycle includes CO₂ injection, compression, and ejection. For our standard models like the HR-KZ-120 and HR-KZ-240, you can expect a cycle time of approximately 30 to 50 seconds…

Our standard dry ice machine price includes the high-quality rectangular block mold, which is the most common and versatile shape for industrial use. However, we do offer customization capabilities for clients with specific needs and sufficient volume. If your application requires a different shape, such as a cylindrical slug or a unique custom profile, please…

To safely shut down your industrial dry ice machine, you should first close the valve on the external CO2 cylinder while the machine is still running. Allow the unit to complete two more cycles to exhaust any remaining gas within the internal piping before pressing the stop button. After the power is off, it is…

That’s an excellent observation. The specified density for the SL-KZ-500 (1300-1500 kg/m³) is slightly broader than the smaller models primarily due to its massive scale and production speed. To achieve its very high output of ~500 kg/hr, the cycle time is optimized for throughput. While it still produces a very high-density dry ice machine product,…

Our standard dry ice block press is designed for the common industrial power supply of 380V, 3-Phase, 50Hz. However, we are a global manufacturer and understand that power standards vary worldwide. We absolutely support customization for different electrical systems. We can readily configure our dry ice block press machines to operate on voltages such as…

We have engineered our dry ice block machines to operate as quietly as possible for an industrial hydraulic press. The primary sounds come from the hydraulic pump motor and the momentary release of CO₂ gas during the cycle. The operational noise level is typically in the range of 75-85 decibels (dB), which is comparable to…
