Vaccine Logistics: ASCO CARBON DIOXIDE LTD Develops Solutions for Dry Ice Production Including Packaging The CO₂ specialist offers an effective solution for dry ice producers and distributors to produce the required quantity of dry ice and automatically fill shipping containers. ASCO CARBON DIOXIDE LTD expands its product portfolio with customizable dry ice filling and transfer systems for on-site production facilities. Particularly when shipping COVID-19 vaccines worldwide, an uninterrupted cold chain down to -80 degrees Celsius and efficient work processes are critical. Marco Pellegrino, General Manager of ASCO CARBON DIOXIDE LTD, said, "We were able to quickly respond to numerous inquiries from those seeking a solution for filling shipping containers with dry ice or transferring large dry ice containers into shipping containers." The company expands its dry ice technology portfolio with two dosing units used particularly in the pharmaceutical, logistics and food industries. The new dry ice filling system (dosing system) is compatible with all ASCO pelletizers and, in its standard version, consists of two dry ice production lines with dry ice dosing units and a conveyor system depending on capacity requirements. This enables shipping containers to be automatically pre-filled with freshly produced dry ice. Vaccine doses are then placed into the container and subsequently automatically filled with dry ice again. Finally, the container only needs to be sealed for shipping.
