With an Insta-lce dry ice machine and a tank of liquid CO2 (available from industrial gas dealers nationwide), solid blocks of dry ice are right at hand. No need to buy large minimum orders of dry ice when small amounts are required, or to wait for delivery. 

Quick and simple operation
To make dry ice, just hook up the machine to a liquid CO2 cylinder (with a siphon). Remove finished blocks by releasing the metal latches and lifting the dry ice out of the block-forming chamber. The blocks are ready to use or store, and need no compacting. The entire process takes about one minute for a one-pound block. 

Needs no accessories
This machine comes complete with all necessary hardware and operating instructions. The Insta-lce dry ice block maker includes the block-forming chamber, a CO2 regulator valve, and a brass automatic pressure release safety valve. No batteries or electrical connection required. 

Three models available
The Insta-lce dry ice machine is offered in three sizes. The Model 460 produces blocks each weighing approximately one pound, blocks from Model 475 weigh approximately 1.7 pounds each, and blocks from Model 485 weigh approximately 3.2 pounds each.
