DRY ICE CLEANING
ICE COLD IN THE FACE OF DIRT – GENTLE ON SURFACES Many components and machines are difficult to clean: casting moulds, extruders, processing machines in the food and plastics industries, etc. Our powerful dry ice blasting machines are the right solution when other procedures are not effective, practical or economical. And this is often the case: whenever water and steam cannot be used as cleaning agents due to the risk of corrosion. Or if residues from blasting material such as sand or glass must be avoided. For hygiene reasons or because of sensitive surfaces.
DRY ICE CLEANING
Or to avoid time-consuming polishing after cleaning.

thanks to fast and effective cleaning. 3
From carbon dioxide to ice
Environmentally friendly cleaning
In the production process, liquid carbon dioxide flows into the
press cylinder of the pelletiser and as a result of the pressure
without additional chemicals or spray agents.
Surfaces are not damaged No residues
drop turns to dry ice snow. A hydraulic cylinder condenses this dry ice snow, which is then pressed by an extruder plate. This creates small rods of dry ice, which then break into pellets.
Dry ice sublimates completely to CO₂. It leaves no residues such as spray agents or wastewater.

Ice Blasters from Kärcher offer the right solution for every application.
The robust design of the machines and reliable technology cannot fail to impress. A host of features such as residual ice discharge, a cleverly designed protective handle, lockable blasting parameters, integrated water separator and many more, make everyday work significantly easier.

Description
6.574-105.0
The CO2 detector indicates the CO2 concentration in the air. This attachment kit contains a CO2 detector as well as a CO2 sensor. Since CO2 gas is heavier than air, the CO2 sensor should be installed at the lowest point of the building. Production control system for automatic filling. The pelletiser can be set to a certain production volume using the weighing unit. The pelletiser starts dry ice production automatically and stops as soon as the precise amount of dry ice has been produced. It produces the precise filling quantity. This attachment kit is ideal for automating the dry ice jet process and filling the ice blaster tank directly.
