Carbo-Fresh™ Refrigeration System

 ... a revolution in temperature controlled food delivery

Fresh peas

The Carbo-Fresh™ system is simple. Liquid CO2 under pressure is injected in to a cassette within the trolley, where it cools on expansion and becomes very cold dry ice. This negates the need for compressors in each trolley or refrigerated transport, allowing the trolley to be refrigerated at the desired temperature for up to 18 hours, regardless of the ambient air-temperature.

As the trolley temperature is controlled internally, there is no need for refrigerated vehicles to be used for distribution.

Carbo-Fresh™ Meal Distribution Trolleys

The ISECO range of trolleys all work on the same principle. Dry Ice is injected into a special cartridgeinside the trolley in seconds. During transport and storage, cold is maintained by evaporation/sublimation of the dry ice into CO2 gas. The gas is perfectly safe, non-toxic and even has anti-bacterial properties.

Vitalis Trolley

The Vitalis single-tray trolley is for distribution of individual plated meals. It provides chilled or frozen distribution, and progressive retherming by thermo-contact technology which preserves all the nutritional and sensory qualities of the food. Read more

Navis Trolley

The Navis trolley is designed for the distribution of bulk-food which is then regenerated at site within other trolleys. It is an all purpose trolley dedicated to food transport for all types of customers, and is suitable for chilled or frozen distribution. Read more

ISECOM HACCP Tracking System

The Carbo-Fresh™ Trolleys combine with the ISECOM HACCP Tracking System, to provide a fully integrated tracking system which records and analyzes temperature data from ISECO trolleys.

How Carbo-Fresh™ Works

Carbo-Fresh System in use


The system is centred around the on-site dry ice filler units. Simply plug the patented injection gun into the trolley, and use the programmable wall mounted control panel to automatically inject the perfect amount of Dry Ice required.
