New extruder plate from ASCO enables the production of 1.7 mm dry ice pellets

The development of the new extruder plate represents a continuation of a tried-and-tested technology that has already been used in ASCO pelletisers in the past, but now features significant improvements in terms of production capacity. Despite the small size of the micro-pellets, we have managed to limit the reduction in production capacity to just 7–29%, depending on the specific pelletiser model. This innovation underscores ASCO’s ability to offer high-quality solutions that are both powerful and efficient.

Alex Schmidt, Head of Product Management at ASCO, highlights the potential applications of the extruder plate, particularly for dry ice blasting applications. “The new 1.7 mm extruder plate makes it possible to produce finer micropellets that are particularly suitable for dry ice blasting without the need for crushing, thereby achieving an optimal cleaning effect,” explains Schmidt.

In future, ASCO plans to continuously optimise its products and adapt them to customer needs. “We are currently developing flexible solutions that allow our machines to be easily combined, offering customers maximum flexibility and reliability when setting up or expanding their dry ice production,” says Schmidt.

With this latest development, ASCO Kohlensäure AG once again confirms its role as a pioneer in dry ice production technology and continues its commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction.
