How Millions of Tons of Dry Ice Are Made In Mass-Production Line Every year, factories around the world produce millions of tons of dry ice — a mysterious solid form of carbon dioxide that doesn’t melt into water but vanishes straight into vapor. Essential for food preservation, medical transport, and even stage effects, dry ice powers industries both everyday and extraordinary. In this documentary, The Factoran takes you inside massive production lines where CO₂ gas is captured, compressed, and cooled into liquid, before being expanded into snow-like crystals and pressed into solid blocks or pellets. From giant compressors and precision molding machines to automated packaging systems, witness how cutting-edge technology turns invisible gas into a product that fuels global supply chains. 💬 If you had to choose, would you use dry ice for food storage, shipping, medical needs, or entertainment?
