Description
As liquid CO₂ can be stored in gas cylinders for practically an unlimited amount of time, the usual time-consuming dry ice logistics are avoided. The very low compressed air consumption of the machine also significantly reduces the infrastructure requirements. At the same time, the advantages of the Kärcher Dry Ice technology are fully retained.
Kärcher’s dry ice blasting technology is a non-aggressive but thorough method of cleaning tools, molds, surfaces and machines with a minimum of downtime.
The dry ice pellets are injected into a jet of compressed air, accelerated to speeds in excess of 335 mph and the fired at the surface to be cleaned.
The abrupt cooling of the surface causes a thermal shock and produces fine cracks in the top layer.
The dry ice penetrates these cracks, lift the contaminant from the surface and return to the atmosphere as CO2 gas leaving only the contaminant behind. Ice blasting uses no chemicals, leaves no wastewater, is environmentally friendly and can be used in areas where cleaning with water is prohibited or inconvenient.
