Gases to transport food

Liquid nitrogen and dry ice are used to keep food cool during transport

Sudden temperature changes can alter the state of food and cause the spread of germs and bacteria that diminish its quality. Therefore, it is paramount to keep food at adequate temperatures during transport.

OXIGEN salud supplies gases to transport food, such as liquid nitrogen or dry ice pellets (solid CO2). Both gases are used to transport fresh and frozen foods safely and at a controlled temperature.

There are different-sized cryogenic containers available with space for 5, 15, and 20 kg of pellets, and the possibility to distribute the exact amount requested by the client.

The following table provides an approximate indication of the amount of dry ice needed to transport frozen products:

Weight of frozen product Recommended dry ice weight for transit time
