Best Ice Supplier Edmonton Near Me

4worldlovers:
Dry ice is used in numerous industries and supply chains. The problem that it solves is that it prevents waste. Does your business rely on keeping your product cold? If your product is exposed to room temperature for a long enough time, does it go to waste? Wasted product, whether it be medicine, meat, vegetation, or industrial equipment is a financial loss to your business. Making your product and being unable to deliver it to its end-user is money out of your pocket and hurts the longevity of your business. Wasted product has an environmental cost, as resources were used to make something but ultimately could not be used so it was disposed of. A wasted product has an economic cost associated with it. Supply challenges cause costs to go up, profits to go down, and ultimately decrease productivity. This is an issue that affects a tremendous number of people, and it’s your responsibility to do what you can do to ensure that your product does not go to waste. This is where dry ice is your solution.

The alternatives to dry ice are refrigeration equipment that isn’t just costly to purchase and maintain but is environmentally detrimental. There obviously are a number of upsides to refrigeration equipment as they can be relatively efficient, but the coolants are harmful and like all machines, break down with time. Even if you use refrigeration equipment regularly, you need a back-up plan to account for any maintenance downtime with your cooling equipment. Once again, you’ll be happy to find out that you can use dry ice.

Retail dry ice supplies are relatively easy to produce with the right production equipment. Dry ice is recycled carbon dioxide that originates from oil and gas production, so it’s actually an environmentally friendly product. It’s also because carbon dioxide is readily available that dry ice is relatively cheap to buy. You can buy dry ice locally from a producer. Anyone in Canada can purchase it. Dry ice is non-toxic, it’s food-safe; is odorless and tasteless. It’s very cold and is about -78.5 degrees Celsius so it’s best to not come in direct contact with skin or be ingested as it can burn. Dry ice sublimates, which basically just means that it goes from solid to gas and skips the liquid phase. The upside of this is there is no secondary waste. The only consideration to make is how much dry ice you need, how dense it has to be, and what sort of insulation is required based on the time constraints you are working with. A 10lbs piece of dry ice can last 24 hours. With proper insulation, dry ice can last up to several days. So whether you need a short term solution or something that is week-long, dry ice will help you. If you happen to run out and need more, fret not as it’s easy for a producer to make.

Buying dry ice is easy. It’s even easier to have dry ice shipped out. Dry ice has been shipped with ease from Edmonton to Yellowknife, and even across western Canada without sublimation causing anything to go to waste. Quality dry ice will last the trip, so you will want to know your logistical constraints when you purchase dry ice.

Don’t take our word for it, here’s what former customers have said.

You can buy dry ice in 3 different forms, each with its different use. We describe each below, and if you want a more comprehensive overview then please review 'Industries Served'.

Typically a 10-pound cube, but can be adjusted to suit your needs. These are suitable for industrial, agricultural, and transportation uses. Sometimes, they can be used for special effects in smoke machines. The benefit of dry ice blocks is that they are larger pieces that have less surface area than smaller pieces. The surface area to weight ratio is important as less surface area means slower sublimation time. This means that dry ice blocks are ideal when you need multi-day cooling.

Dry Ice temperature is extremely cold at -109.3°F or -78.5°C. Always handle Dry Ice with care and wear protective cloth or leather gloves whenever touching it. An oven mitt or towel will work. If touched briefly it is harmless, but prolonged contact with the skin will freeze cells and cause injury similar to a burn.

Dry ice converts to CO2 gas, in confined spaces dry ice represents a suffocation hazard. Be sure to open doors/windows before entering confined spaces, leave the area immediately if your breathing quickens or you experience any difficulty breathing. Dry ice is heavier than air and will accumulate in low spaces.

Plan to pickup the dry ice as close to the time as is needed. It sublimates at a certain percentage in different types of packaging. Carry it in a well-insulated container such as an ice chest. If it is transported inside a car or van for more than 15 minutes make sure there is fresh air.

Dry ice is to be stored in a well-ventilated locations and placed in insulated and ventilated storage areas, chesta, insulated coolers, or a special coolers designed for the storage of dry ice.

Because of the thermal expansion of dry ice (one pound of dry ice produces abut 250 liters of gaseous carbon dioxide), sufficient gaseous carbon dioxide can be released in a sealed container to cause an pressure explosion. Dry ice is NEVER to be stored in any type of tightly sealed devices such as an ultra-low freezer or plastic/glass container.
