Ice Blasters
Dry Ice Pelletizer
Simply freeze out the dirt
2
Effi cient, non-aggressive cleaning equipment is needed in all those areas where deep-seated dirt is a
problem. KÄRCHER Ice Blasters, for example, use compressed air and dry ice pellets to clean rubber
residue, oils, greases, blackening, paints etc. from workpieces and surfaces. They leave no residue of
the blasting medium and it is not necessary to disassemble the machines prior to cleaning them. The
dry ice pelletizer ensures an in-house supply of pellets. Matching accessories are available to suit your
specifi c requirements.

Give dirt the cold shoulder
Dirty moulds, parts and machines are often diffi cult to clean. The problem: Residue is left after sandblasting, e.g.
blasting abrasives such as sand or glass granulate. It is often necessary to wipe away such residue after the
cleaning process. Such an unnecessary operation is a thing of the past with KÄRCHER’s powerful Ice Blasters.
The dry ice pellets turn into carbon dioxide (CO2) after the blasting process. All that is left is a clean surface.
■ Cleaning without disassembling
Machines do not have to be dismantled for cleaning.
The pellets get into every little corner.
■ Short machine down-times
thanks to fast and effective cleaning.
■ Environment friendly cleaning
without chemical additives or blasting abrasives.
■ Surfaces are not damaged
■ No residue
Dry ice is completely transformed into CO2 gas. There is
no residue such as blasting abrasive or waste water.
Benefi ts of dry ice blasting
■ The Ice Blaster accelerates the up to 3 mm diameter
dry ice pellets by means of compressed air to more
than 150 m/s.
■ As a result of the high impact velocity and a tempera-
ture of –79°C, the contaminant freezes and develops
fi ne cracks.
■ The dry ice pellets penetrate the cracks created in the
contaminant and blow it apart and off the surface. Dry
ice blasting is therefore an effective method of removing
virtually any kind of contamination without harming the
surface being cleaned.
In the pellet production process, liquid carbon dioxide
flows into the pelletizer’s cylinder and, as a result of the
drop in pressure, solidifies to form dry ice snow. This is
then compressed by a hydraulic ram and forced through
an extruder plate. The resultant cylindrical dry ice rods are
then broken into pellets.

Optimised for operation on in-house compressed air systems
The IB 7/40 can be connected to an existing in-house compressed air system. Its cleaning performance is outstanding, even
with low pressures. The compact IB 7/40 is the right choice where space is at a premium. It will even operate with a pressu-
re of 2 bar; up to 10 bar is possible.
For bigger tasks
The IB 15/80 is our largest dry ice blasting unit. A compressor supplies it with the necessary compressed air. It provides
pressures between 3 and 16 bar and a compressed air fl ow rate of 3–11.5 cubic metres per minute. The consumption of dry
ice pellets can be set between 30 kg and 100 kg/hour. This Ice Blaster is therefore suitable for almost any cleaning task.
The IB 7/40 cleans with 15 kg to 50 kg dry ice
pellets/hour and 0.5–3.5 cubic metres of air
per minute. It has an empty weight of 70 kg
and a tank with a maximum capacity of 18 kg.
With a dry weight of 90 kg, IB 15/80 Ice Blaster
uses up to 100 kg dry ice pellets per hour. It
has a tank capacity of 35 kg.
For in-house dry ice supply
Dry ice is easy to produce with KÄRCHER dry ice pelletizers. This saves
procurement costs and makes you independent because you determine
the cleaning time.
Cool and fresh
Dry ice stays colder for longer in the cool
box. That is important since fresh dry ice
guarantees an ideal cleaning process.

For cleanliness in all areas
KÄRCHER Ice Blasters operate completely without cleaning agents or chemical additives. They can be used in
locations where cleaning with water or sand is prohibited by law. Since the pellets dissolve completely, they pro-
duce no waste water. KÄRCHER offers highly effi cient pelletizers for in-house production.
Automotive industry, foundries and injection moulding shops
Our dry ice blasters remove binding and parting agents, silicone and
rubber residue, paints and blackening from all kinds of parts and
workpieces. Injection moulds, tools and whole production lines can
be cleaned without leaving a trace of residue.iben.
Printing works
Printing machines and cylinders, tools, etc. look like new after dry ice
blasting.
Steel engineering, metalworking, mechanical engineering
Basic and maintenance cleaning of production machinery, welding
robots, conveyor belts and spraying booths is simplified with our Ice
Blasters.
Wood and electrical industry
For cleaning woodworking machines, generators, fans, switchgear
cabinets, etc.

Food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries
With an Ice Blaster you can clean bottling and mixing plants, produc-
tion lines and mechanical handling systems as well as tanks and
ovens, e.g to remove carbon build-up, burnt on substances, encrus-
tations, grease and starch.
Paper industry
Deposits of glue and scale, encrusted dust stains, chemical pulp
In the paper industry, glue, lime, dust and chemical pump collect in
the plant and equipment. This can result in machine failures and poor
quality. Plants can be cleaned with dry ice faster so that they are
ready of operation sooner.
Plastics and packaging industry
The Ice Blaster removes silicone, rubber, paints, lacquers and many
other stains from injection moulds and production lines.
Local governments
Graffiti and chewing gum are a major problem in many towns and com-
munities. There is a need for a method of cleaning that cleans walls and
other surfaces thoroughly but gently – just like KÄRCHER’s Ice Blas-
ters. They remove contaminants without harming the material’s surface

Everything in view, everything under control
The clearly laid out controls make the Ice Blasters simple to operate and easy to understand which saves time
and unnecessary operator training. You can start cleaning immediately.

Making your own dry ice
While you previously had to buy dry ice pellets from an outside supplier at considerable cost, you can now
produce your own dry ice pellets in-house with KÄRCHER pelletizers. You thus eliminate waiting times and save
procurement and transport costs. Cleaning with freshly made dry ice can halve cleaning times as the effi ciency
of the cleaning process is improved by using fresh pellets. The ability to schedule the production of dry ice
pellets at any required time allows cleaning operations to be optimised still further.

With IP 55, IP 120 and IP 220 pelletizers, KÄRCHER offers the opti-
mum solution for every required quantity of dry ice pellets. Dry ice
produced with our pelletizers is also suitable for cooling particularly
heat-sensitive products, such as foods, for example.
The KÄRCHER dry ice box for transporting and storing dry ice pellets is
available in two versions: A disposable box made of styrofoam – for up
to 25 kg dry ice, and a reusable box made of expanded polypropylene
(EPP) – for up to 100 kg dry ice. It has excellent insulating properties, is
light and very durable.
