From cleaning applications to chilling and confectionery, Danish-based company Triventek offers efficient and economic dry ice technology around the world.
Triventek A/S specialises in dry ice equipment: both production and blast cleaning machines. The company is based in Asperup, Denmark and has distributors in most major European territories and select territories such as Brazil, Canada, Japan, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, South Africa and Thailand. A direct subsidiary named Triventek Inc. is located in Chicago, Illinois, handling sales and service in the US. The company is also a member of the €90m turnover Hotchkiss group, which has provided the funding to build a reputation as an innovator in its field, with a long-term strategy.
The dry ice range on offer comprises of the Triblaster-2 blast cleaner, the PE80 Pelletizer, and the RE80 Recovery Unit. The low cost PE80 pelletiser ensures that users and gas company depots can have dry ice ‘on tap’, with the patented system incorporating novel revert gas recovery – meaning users can effectively have dry ice at half price.
“Our slogan is: ‘We make dry ice easy’ and it really is true,” says CEO, Ken Jensen. “We came into the dry ice business with an end-user, customer point-of-view. Back at the turn of the century, one of our group companies wanted to use dry ice for a specialist air duct cleaning application. Frankly, we couldn’t see the value in the €30,000 which was being asked for blasters, back then. I think there was an element of ‘black arts’ in the selling of this technology, which, probably as a result, had stayed restricted since its invention in 1976 to a few ‘super-users’ like tyre manufacturers. We already had a company making duct cleaning robots and some fairly high-tech equipment so we said: we can make blasters better and much less expensive. Now we sell a better blaster for around €10,000.”
