Dry Ice for Freeze Branding Livestock | Dry Ice 4 Farming
Price on request
Description
Dry ice for farming from Dry Ice International, supplied for freeze branding cattle and other livestock. Freeze branding uses extreme cold rather than heat to mark an animal, and dry ice is a common way to get branding irons cold enough. The supply comes from a South African manufacturer that has made dry ice since 1994, so you can prepare your branding day with confidence.
How to use
Freeze branding needs branding irons chilled to a very low temperature, and dry ice is solid carbon dioxide that sublimates at about minus 78.5 degrees Celsius. Plan quantities around the number of animals, the size of the irons, the weather and how long the session will run. Good preparation makes the process more controlled. Have your irons, handling facilities and dry ice ready before the first animal enters the crush.
Why choose us
Dry Ice International manufactures, distributes and delivers dry ice across South Africa, and builds much of its own production equipment in-house. Pellets and blocks are available, and polystyrene containers and cooler boxes help keep the dry ice cold until you need it. Delivery is nationwide through an in-house fleet and courier partners, and the team can advise on the product and quantity that suit a farm branding job.
Safe handling
Dry ice needs care on the farm. Wear gloves made for very cold materials and eye protection. Store and use it where carbon dioxide gas can disperse, and never seal it in an airtight container. Keep it away from children, do not consume it, and keep it out of drinking water for animals and people. Follow the packaging and transport rules that apply to your load.
Pricing
Price depends on the product format, the quantity, packaging and the delivery destination. It is quoted per order. To get an accurate quote, have your branding date, expected quantity and delivery address ready.
