Frequently Asked Questions

Within one hour. Connect a garden hose to any water supply, plug into a standard 110V outlet, fill the hopper with Dry Gel Crystals, and you’re making gel packs. No installation, no technician, no training required.

Between 8 and 10 cents per pack using TEMTRO™ Dry Gel — that includes the gel and the poly bag. Compare that to $1.50–$4.00+ per pack from a retail or wholesale supplier. On 2,000 packs a day, that’s a cost difference of thousands of dollars — every single day.

The Standard model produces a full range of standard gel ice packs in multiple sizes and weights — ideal for food service, shipping, and cooling applications. The Premium model does everything the Standard does, plus it lets you add custom color to your gel packs, produce flexible gel ice packs, make therapeutic hot/cold compresses, and make hot gel packs. If you’re in medical, chiropractic, sports, or branded resale markets — you want the Premium.

It fits on a standard 4-foot table. You don’t need a warehouse, a production room, or any special facility setup. A backroom, prep area, or corner of your office works fine.

Bag widths range from 5″ to 11″ with the included sealer. Need wider packs? 18″ and 24″ sealers are available at an additional cost. Weight ranges from 6 oz up to 4 lbs per fill cycle — larger packs can be made by running multiple fill cycles on the same bag.

A single operator can produce up to 200 packs per hour. On a standard 8-hour shift, that’s up to 1,600 packs — many customers regularly produce 1,500 to 2,000+ one-pound packs per day.

No. The machine connects to any standard water supply via a regular garden hose and plugs into a standard 110V household or commercial outlet. A 220V converter is available if needed.

Yes. Every TEMTRO™ system purchase unlocks volume-based discounts on future Dry Gel orders. The more you produce, the lower your cost per pack gets. It’s a compounding advantage that keeps growing with your business.

Both. Many TEMTRO™ customers use the system purely to eliminate their own supply costs. Others build entire product lines — branded gel packs, therapeutic compresses, private-label medical products — and sell them wholesale or retail. The Premium model is particularly well-suited for resale because it produces multiple product types and supports custom colors.
