Description
Since liquid CO₂ can be stored in gas cylinders for practically an unlimited amount of time, the usual time-consuming process of creating dry ice is avoided. The very low compressed air consumption of the machine also significantly reduces infrastructure requirements. The IB 10/8 L2P is the IB 10/15 L2P’s little brother, cleaning gently – and is perfect for complex contours such as grooves, bearings, and burnt-on encrustations in cases of heavy contamination.
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.
