Sustainable Solutions: Reducing Waste with nexAir’s Dry Ice
Revolutionizing Cooling and Preservation
Dry ice, the solid form of carbon dioxide, is a powerful tool in the battle against waste, particularly in industries requiring cooling and preservation. nexAir offers high-quality dry ice solutions that are effective and environmentally friendly, helping businesses reduce their reliance on mechanical cooling systems that often use more energy and produce more waste.
Enhanced Efficiency in Transportation
One of the most common applications of dry ice is transporting perishable goods. nexAir’s dry ice ensures that items such as pharmaceuticals, food, and other temperature-sensitive products are kept at optimal temperatures throughout their journey. This helps in significantly reducing spoilage and waste, making transportation processes more efficient and sustainable.
Innovative Applications in Food Processing
In the food industry, dry ice is used for its rapid cooling abilities, which help preserve freshness, extend shelf life, and maintain flavor. nexAir’s dry ice solutions allow quicker cooling times than traditional methods, improving efficiency and decreasing the energy consumption typically associated with large-scale refrigeration units.
Supporting Eco-Friendly Waste Management
Dry ice blasting is an innovative cleaning method that uses dry ice pellets. This technique is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional cleaning methods that require water or chemical solvents. nexAir supplies high-density dry ice suitable for blasting, which helps industries clean equipment and facilities effectively without generating secondary waste.
Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
nexAir’s dry ice is made from reclaimed CO2, a byproduct of other industrial processes, capturing and repurposing carbon dioxide that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. This not only utilizes a waste product but also prevents the additional emissions that would be produced by manufacturing synthetic cooling agents.
Commitment to Education and Training
To ensure that our customers can maximize the benefits of using dry ice, nexAir shares our expert KnowHow™ through comprehensive training and educational programs. These sessions cover safe handling, storage, and the most effective applications of dry ice. By educating users, we help businesses implement more sustainable practices while optimizing their operational efficiency.

Everything we offer is a click away and it will arrive before you know it.
Behind every package of fresh meat, bag of pre-cut salad, and bottle of craft beer sits an invisible guardian – specialized gas mixtures that preserve flavor, extend shelf life, and ensure product safety. At nexAir, we work with food processors and packagers throughout the Southeast to develop custom gas solutions that address the unique challenges of food production. Our approach goes beyond simply supplying cylinders – we become partners in your quality control process.
The Critical Role of Gases in Food Preservation
Food spoilage begins the moment a product leaves the production line. Oxygen fuels bacterial growth, accelerates oxidation, and triggers enzymatic browning. Carbon dioxide inhibits microbial activity. Nitrogen displaces oxygen and maintains package integrity. Understanding the precise balance needed for each food product requires specialized knowledge of both gas properties and food science. Our team works at this intersection, helping you determine the optimal gas mixtures for your specific products.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging That Preserves Natural Quality
Consumers increasingly demand fresh, minimally processed foods without artificial preservatives. Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) allows you to meet these demands by replacing the air inside packaging with carefully calibrated gas mixtures. For red meats, we supply high-oxygen blends that maintain the bright red color consumers associate with freshness. For prepared salads and sliced produce, low-oxygen mixtures prevent wilting and browning without affecting taste or texture. Our custom MAP solutions help your products maintain their natural appearance and flavor profile throughout their shelf life.
Ensuring Consistent Quality Through Precision Blending
Quality control in food production demands consistency – consumers expect the same taste, appearance, and freshness with every purchase. Gas mixtures that vary from batch to batch can undermine this consistency. Our automated blending systems deliver precise gas compositions every time, eliminating the variability that can affect product quality. We regularly calibrate and certify our equipment to food-grade standards, giving you confidence that the gas touching your products meets the highest purity requirements.
Technical Support When You Need It Most
Production issues rarely happen during business hours. That's why our team remains available to help troubleshoot gas-related challenges whenever they arise. When a bakery customer noticed inconsistent product volume during an overnight shift, our on-call technician identified a pressure fluctuation in their carbon dioxide supply and quickly implemented a solution. This responsive support helps prevent quality control failures that could otherwise result in product loss and delivery delays.
Partnering for Continuous Improvement
Food trends, processing technologies, and packaging materials constantly evolve. We work with our food industry customers to regularly evaluate gas solutions against changing requirements and opportunities for improvement. Our technical team keeps you informed about innovations in gas applications that might benefit your operation. This collaborative approach helps you stay ahead of challenges and continue meeting the high-quality standards your customers expect.
Maintaining quality control in food production requires vigilance, specialized knowledge, and reliable partners. At nexAir, we provide more than just industrial gases – we deliver application expertise, responsive service, and custom solutions that address the specific challenges of your food products. Contact our food industry specialists today to discuss how our gas solutions can strengthen your quality control program and help deliver the consistent product excellence your customers demand.
