10 kg Carbon Dioxide CO₂ - Food grade - B13,5 - Steel
Please contact us to order
A 10 kg carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas cylinder with a water capacity of 13.4 liters and a steel body is a widely used, professional pressure vessel. The designation foodgrade (suitable for food, often compliant with E290) means that the gas meets strict purity requirements and can be safely used in the hospitality and food sectors.

Main Applications
Thanks to the combination of food-grade purity and a substantial capacity of 10 kg, this cylinder is deployed for various applications:
- Hospitality & Beverage Industry: Ideal as carbon dioxide for dispensing beer, cider, or soft drinks, and for carbonating water (sparkling water).
- Food Packaging: Used in the food industry for protective packaging (MAP - Modified Atmosphere Packaging) to extend shelf life.
Product details
Carbon dioxide (CO₂), gas cylinder, filled with 10 kg of CO₂, specially designed for the food and beverage sector (manufactured for professional and intensive use).
Transport
Transport:
- Fixation: Due to the weight and dimensions, proper fixation in the vehicle with certified tension straps (at two heights) is mandatory. Under no circumstances should the cylinder be able to slide or tip over.
- Protection: Always keep the protective cap on the valve during transport. Because this is a steel cylinder, its weight combined with an unprotected valve can lead to very dangerous situations if it falls.

Document
Safety
Specific safety information for the B13,5 (Steel):
- Always upright: It is strictly necessary that the B13,5 is always used and stored vertically. Horizontal use allows liquid CO₂ to flow directly into the pressure regulator, which, due to the extreme cold (-78°C during expansion), leads to immediate freezing, jamming, and potential mechanical defects in your equipment.
- Weight and handling: Due to the steel housing, this cylinder is significantly heavy when full (including dead weight). Always use a hand truck for moving, and never try to lift the cylinder alone when loading a vehicle.
- Risk of freezing during high withdrawal: With a 10 kg cylinder, the chance of the valve freezing during intensive use is high. It is strongly recommended to use a pressure regulator with preheating to ensure a constant gas flow.
- Risk of asphyxiation: A 10 kg cylinder contains a very large amount of gas. An uncontrolled leak in a confined space can lead to a critical drop in oxygen levels in a very short time. Always ensure good ventilation in the storage area and workshop.
