Efficient dry ice solutions for the logistics sector
Reliable Cold Chains and Efficient Transport Using Dry Ice
In logistics, reliable adherence to cold chains is crucial for the quality of temperature-sensitive products. Foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and sensitive industrial goods require secure cooling, precise temperature control and the ability to react quickly to changing transport conditions. In-house dry ice production ensures that exactly the required quantity is available at all times – regardless of supply bottlenecks, flexible in the face of fluctuating order volumes and reliable under changing transport conditions. This keeps your cooling system operational at all times: tailored to your needs – as much as necessary and as punctually as possible.
On-Site Dry Ice Production – Flexibility for Every Supply Chain
For logistics service providers, the continuous availability of dry ice is crucial for maintaining cold chains at all times. On-site production enables a supply tailored to demand, independent of external deliveries or seasonal bottlenecks.
With ASCO’s modular dry ice pelletizers and block machines, pellets or blocks can be produced in various sizes – precisely tailored to transport volumes and product requirements. The i-Series technology offers touchscreen control, automatic process monitoring and a remote maintenance option, ensuring reliable production.
For temporary peaks or seasonal fluctuations, ASCO’s Carefree rental option offers maximum flexibility: logistics companies can utilise state-of-the-art dry ice and CO₂ technology, including service, maintenance and optional CO₂ delivery, without high investment costs. This ensures production remains scalable and the cold chain is maintained at all times.
Dry Ice Storage and Transport – Ensuring Quality Right to the Recipient
Safe storage is crucial for transporting temperature-sensitive products in perfect condition. ASCO dry ice boxes and containers minimise sublimation losses and ensure consistent cooling performance during transport by road, rail, air freight or container.
By specifically portioning the dry ice into pellets, blocks or discs, the cooling capacity can be optimally tailored to the duration and volume of the journey. Logistics companies can thus ensure product quality, reliably meet delivery times and, at the same time, use resources efficiently.

Packaging Machines and Filling Systems – Efficient Portioning and Transport
Precise portioning is crucial for efficient logistics. ASCO packaging machines and filling systems enable the fast, clean and consistent filling of transport containers – from small quantities for express deliveries to large containers for international transport.
Automated systems reduce handling effort, minimise sublimation losses and ensure cooling performance throughout the entire transport chain. Integrating these systems into production and storage processes ensures a continuous, efficient cold chain from the production site to the recipient.
Practical Applications of Dry Ice in Transport
Food & Drink
Fresh produce, frozen goods and perishable ingredients are kept at a constant cool temperature.
Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology
Medicines, vaccines and laboratory materials require constant cooling, which dry ice reliably provides.
Industry & Chemicals
Temperature-sensitive components and chemicals can be transported safely without damage or loss of quality.
Express and just-in-time deliveries
Short-notice, time-sensitive shipments benefit from the flexibility and immediate availability of dry ice.
Dry Ice Blasting – Cleaning and Maintenance of Transport Vehicles
In addition to refrigeration and transport, dry ice also offers solutions for cleaning and maintenance. Cargo holds, refrigeration systems, containers and conveyor systems can be cleaned efficiently, chemically-free and gently using ASCOJET dry ice blasting machines.
This reduces downtime, improves hygiene and minimises wear on surfaces. Logistics service providers can thus not only enhance their operational reliability but also develop new service offerings, e.g. for customer fleets or external storage facilities.
CO₂ and Dry Ice Equipment – Focus on Safety and Efficiency
The right equipment and accessories are crucial for smooth logistics. ASCO storage tanks, dosing systems, filling systems and measuring devices ensure the safe handling and efficient use of CO₂ and dry ice.
Furthermore, CO₂ recovery can be integrated into storage or production processes to reuse gaseous CO₂, reduce operating costs and enhance sustainability.
Practical, Efficient and Reliable
By combining flexible dry ice production, efficient storage, precise packaging, reliable transport and complementary cleaning, logistics companies can reliably maintain cold chains, reduce costs and effort, and minimise quality risks.
Temperature-sensitive products are thus delivered to the recipient safely, on time and to the highest quality standards – from regional deliveries to complex international transport chains.
