Dry Ice Cage Funnel

Ice Cage Funnel

The Dry Ice Cage Funnel is a practical loading accessory designed to make transferring dry ice into compatible Ice Cage devices easier, more controlled and safer. Ideal for cocktail bars, restaurants and event catering, this specialist dry ice funnel helps streamline the preparation of theatrical drinks and food presentations while reducing the need for direct contact with dry ice.

Designed specifically for use with Ice Cage safety systems, the funnel features a narrow tube that fits through the cage's safety valve, allowing dry ice to be transferred into the designated compartment. Its wide opening makes loading more convenient, while the narrow outlet helps guide the dry ice into position with greater precision.

Dry ice is commonly used to create dramatic mist and fog effects in cocktail presentations, adding an eye-catching element to drinks and special occasions. When used with compatible containment equipment, the Dry Ice Cage Funnel provides a practical way to prepare these effects while keeping dry ice securely separated from anything intended for consumption.

How do you use a Dry Ice Cage Funnel?

The narrow tube of the funnel is inserted through the safety valve of a compatible Ice Cage. Once positioned correctly, the funnel allows the appropriate quantity of dry ice to be transferred into the cage's designated compartment. The Ice Cage must then be secured according to the manufacturer's instructions before use.

Can the Dry Ice Cage Funnel be used with any dry ice container?

The Dry Ice Cage Funnel is specifically designed for compatible Ice Cage safety systems. Its tube dimensions and loading method are intended to work with the safety valve of these devices. Compatibility with other dry ice equipment should not be assumed, as different systems may have different openings and safety requirements.

Is protective equipment still necessary when using a dry ice funnel?

Yes. Although the funnel helps minimise direct handling, dry ice remains extremely cold at approximately -78.5°C and can cause severe cold burns if it touches the skin. Suitable cryogenic protective gloves and eye protection should always be used. Dry ice must also be handled in a well-ventilated area because it releases carbon dioxide gas as it warms. Never place dry ice in an airtight container or allow loose dry ice to enter a drink.
