Unpacking and preparation before installation. This machine was assembled and tested at Cold Jet's test center before being created and shipped as one unit. Follow the steps below to unpack and inspect the machine from the shipping container. Examine the transport box for any damage occurred during transportation.
Liquid CO₂ Supply System Cold Jet recommends the supply line for the liquid CO₂ from the storage tank to the pelletizer to be direct (with limited bends) and well insulated. Before reaching the pelletizer, the pipeline must have an upwards inclination of 2%. Bends or deflections must not be right angled, the recommended radius of the bending would be equal to 5x the internal diameter of the pipe.
230-liter Dewar. When using a LCO2 dewar the PE 80 pelletizer may generate a “low CO2 pressure” error and shut down when the incoming pressure drops below 13 bar (188 psi). To maintain adequate pressure and optimize consumption of the dewar’s available LCO2, a separate high pressure CO2 food-grade...
Liquid CO₂ Degasser System To achieve a consistent, high-quality supply of liquid CO₂ to the pelletizer, Cold Jet recommends the installation of an automatic gas venting system, such as the Armstrong Kit. Installing an automatic gas venting system will improve the performance of the pelletizer and increase dry ice production.
The main circuit must be suitable for proper lock out / tag out in accordance with international and national standards and requirements. Electrical Service & Supply PE 80 Voltage AC/ Frequency (50Hz) 3 x 400 VAC/50Hz Upstream supplier fuse (max)
Degassing The pelletizer should be mounted with a degassing hose. The machine does not have a degassing hose attached, this is required to be added according to the specific installation on site. If a hose is not attached, the pelletizer will vent where the machine is located. The pelletizer is delivered with a male cam coupling to connect the degassing hose.

Therefore, CO₂ concentrations at 3-5% causes headaches, fast breathing and discomfort while higher concentrations may cause unconsciousness, suffocation or respiratory arrest. The legal exposure limit set by OSHA is a 0.5% average over an 8-hour workday. Always use a CO₂ monitoring/alarm system when working with machinery that emits CO₂ in a confined room/space.
