Cold Jet Bv And Nippon Sanso Launch Fully Automated Dry Ice Production And Recovery Facility In Köping Cold Jet bv and Nippon Sanso successfully launched a highly sophisticated, fully automated dry ice production and recovery facility in Köping. This landmark project combines Nippon Sanso’s market leadership with Cold Jet’s world-class technology to meet the demand for dry ice cooling solutions in the airline, food, pharmaceutical, and industrial cleaning sectors across the Nordic region. Powered by Cold Jet’s advanced turnkey solutions, the facility boasts a production capacity of 2.2 tons of dry ice per hour. Localized production will significantly reduce transport times, delivering fresh, superior-quality dry ice directly to their customers. Nippon Sanso selected Cold Jet to secure an integrated, single-source system where Cold Jet took full responsibility for the entire dry ice production line. The Köping installation features a fully automated suite of Cold Jet technology designed for autonomous operation: PR750H High-Efficiency Pelletizers designed for high-volume production; Integrated Conveyor & Control Systems from pellet to reformer; R1000H Pellet-to-Slice Reformers produces high-density slices ranging from 250g to 3kg; Fully Automated Robotics System utilizes three advanced robots to stack, strap, wrap, and fill dry ice containers with minimal human intervention; RE-CO2 320 Recovery Systems with six integrated recovery units capture and recycle CO2, maximizing efficiency. By automating repetitive packaging processes, the plant minimizes human error while allowing operators to focus on downstream quality monitoring. At the heart of the facility’s efficiency are Cold Jet’s CO2 Recovery Systems. While traditional dry ice production vents substantial amounts of liquid CO2 into the atmosphere, this installation changes the equation: Significant Cost Savings by capturing and reliquefying gas that would otherwise be wasted, Nippon Sanso cuts its LCO2 costs in half and dramatically improves the conversion rate; Environmental Stewardship as the recovery units minimize the facility’s carbon footprint; Optimized Yield by turning waste gas back into a usable resource ensures peak operational efficiency. By integrating dry ice production with its existing cylinder filling operations in Köping, Nippon Sanso shares resources to maximize agility. The plant will produce a versatile mix of pellets (3mm, 10mm, and 16mm) and slices (500g, 800g, and 1000g). Buy Or Sell Opportunity • May 22
