Event Industry
Dry ice for unforgettable moments and efficient processes
The Events Industry – Magical Effects, Reliable Cooling, Professional Logistics With Dry Ice
In the events industry, both impressive effects and smooth operations count. Whether at concerts, trade fairs, corporate events or in the catering sector – dry ice offers a wide range of applications that make experiences unforgettable whilst ensuring practicality and safety.
Magical Fog Effects – An Atmosphere that Captivates
Dry ice creates thick, low-lying fog that provides a visually spectacular backdrop for events and stage performances. From theatre and shows to corporate events, professional special effects can be easily achieved.
Dry ice is popular in the catering industry and at catering events for creating impressive displays of food and drink. Cocktails with steaming effects, spectacular dessert presentations or artistic food displays create a unique experience for guests.
Dry ice is completely food-safe, leaves no residue and is safe to use, perfectly combining presentation and hygiene.
Catering Cooling with Dry Ice – Reliable, Flexible, Effective
Dry ice is ideal for the temporary cooling of food, drinks and perishable items at events, catering operations and mobile applications. Thanks to its extremely low temperature, it maintains the cold chain even where no permanent refrigeration infrastructure is available.
Particularly at outdoor events, pop-up events or during transport between the kitchen and the venue, dry ice ensures constant cooling without the need for electricity, water or additional equipment. Cool boxes, containers or transport containers can be cooled efficiently and in a space-saving manner.
As dry ice sublimates into CO₂ without leaving any residue, there are no melting residues or moisture. This means clean handling processes, high hygiene standards and maximum flexibility – crucial advantages for professional catering and event concepts.
The Benefits of Dry Ice in the Events Industry
Reliable cooling without a power supply
Dry ice enables food and drinks to be kept cool safely without the need for a fixed infrastructure – making it ideal for outdoor events, temporary venues or mobile catering units.
No dampness, no waterlogging
As dry ice sublimates, no melt water is produced. Food, packaging and cool boxes remain dry and hygienic – a clear advantage over water ice or ice packs.
Very high cooling capacity in a small space
At –78.5 °C, dry ice provides compact and powerful cooling, even in high outside temperatures or during prolonged use.
High food safety standards
Dry ice is non-toxic and odourless and tasteless, making it ideal for cooling food in event catering – without affecting quality, taste or food safety.
In-House Dry Ice Production – Independent and Flexible
Businesses with a regular need for dry ice benefit from having their own on-site dry ice production. With ASCO dry ice pelletisers or block machines, the required dry ice can be produced fresh and on demand.
Thanks to the ASCO Carefree rental option, event and catering companies can remain flexible – with rental, service and optional CO₂ supply all from a single source. This ensures a fresh cooling medium is available at all times, without reliance on deliveries or any loss of quality.
Safe Dry Ice Storage for Events and Catering
For the events industry, reliable dry ice storage is crucial – both for fog effects and for cooling food and drinks. ASCO’s high-quality insulated dry ice boxes and containers minimise sublimation losses, maintain a constant cooling capacity and enable safe, flexible transport to the venue.
Thanks to a range of sizes and designs, pellets, blocks or portions can be stored efficiently and made readily available – whether for small catering events or large-scale shows. This ensures the dry ice remains fresh, effective and ready for use at all times, whilst ensuring the safety of staff and guests
