Why Dry Ice International’s dry ice solutions are a perfect fit for KragDag 2026

KragDag 2026 isn’t just another exhibition. It’s one of South Africa’s best-known events for people looking for practical ways to become more self-reliant.

Farmers, engineers, manufacturers, business owners and homeowners all come together to find solutions that work in the real world, whether that means generating their own power, addressing South Africa’s growing water security challenges, or keeping their businesses running during disruptions.

That’s exactly why Dry Ice International fits in so well.

As one of South Africa’s leading dry ice manufacturers and suppliers, Dry Ice International provides dry ice solutions that help businesses protect temperature-sensitive products, reduce downtime and stay operational during power outages, equipment maintenance and cold-chain transport.

Practical dry ice solutions for a practical audience

KragDag has always been about solving everyday problems.

Visitors come to explore technologies that make farming, manufacturing and business operations more efficient without relying entirely on unreliable infrastructure.

Dry Ice International shares that same practical approach.

Its dry ice solutions help businesses solve common operational challenges without expensive or complicated changes.

Whether you’re transporting fresh produce, keeping frozen products cold or looking for a faster way to clean industrial equipment, dry ice offers practical benefits that make sense for the industries represented at KragDag.

Supporting businesses during power outages

Even with solar systems, batteries and generators becoming more common, many businesses still need a reliable way to keep refrigerated and frozen products cold when the power goes out.

That’s where dry ice comes in.

Dry ice sits at around -78.5°C and turns directly from a solid into carbon dioxide gas, so there’s no melted ice or excess water to deal with.

That makes it a practical option for protecting food, pharmaceuticals and other temperature-sensitive products during planned maintenance or unexpected outages.

For many businesses, it’s another layer of protection that helps reduce spoilage while refrigeration systems are offline.

Dry Ice solutions across multiple industries

One of the reasons dry ice is so widely used is because it solves problems across many different industries.

Visitors to KragDag will see that first-hand.

Food and cold chain logistics

Keeping products at the right temperature is critical when transporting frozen food, meat, dairy and other perishables.

Dry Ice International supplies dry ice solutions that help maintain the cold chain during transport, deliveries and temporary power failures, helping businesses reduce the risk of spoilage.

Agriculture

Farmers often transport produce, veterinary samples and other perishable goods over long distances.

Dry ice provides dependable cooling that helps maintain product quality, especially in rural areas where long travel times and electricity interruptions are still part of daily life.

Dry ice can also be used to freeze brand large livestock; the cold iron application is less invasive than traditional hot iron branding.

The cold iron’s temperature penetrates 1mm into the skin changing the colour pigmentation inside the hair follicle by damaging the colour pigment resulting in a permanent, high resolution – white lifelong identification mark.

Manufacturing and engineering

Downtime costs money.

Dry ice is the perfect solution when needing to change bearings and shafts on equipment.

Dry ice easily cools the bearings and shafts to effectively crimp the parts for easy replacement and maintenance.

Industrial cleaning

Dry ice blasting removes grease, production residue, paint and adhesives without leaving blasting media behind.

Because the dry ice disappears on impact, there’s no additional material to clean up afterwards.

That means less mess, faster maintenance and quicker turnaround times.

Emergency cooling during power failures

Power interruptions can affect everyone from households and retailers to laboratories and food manufacturers.

When used correctly and with the right safety precautions, dry ice provides temporary cooling that helps keep refrigerated and frozen products at lower temperatures until power is restored.
