ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for distributing dry ice from a central source, through a distribution network of feed conveyors, to one or more remote dispensing stations where the dry ice is dispensed into packaging containers. The feed conveyors are provided with low-friction material ice-contacting surfaces to prevent clumping and sticking of the ice. A programmable electronic controller enables automatic dispensing of batches of predetermined quantities of dry ice to the packaging containers.
