Kärcher Introduces Innovative and Safe Dry Ice Blaster for In-Place Cleaning
Kärcher Industrial Products has introduced a dry ice blaster, a highly effective and mess-free method for in-place cleaning that eliminates the need to disassemble or move machinery before it is cleaned. The new IB 15/80 Dry Ice Blaster uses compressed air to propel tiny dry ice pellets at supersonic speeds so they flash freeze and then lift grime, paint, rust, reins, mold, asphalt and other contaminants from off a broad range of surfaces. Moreover, the pellets quickly dissipate into the air so there’s no messy wastewater, solvents, sand or other media to dispose of, only the soiled contaminant that is easily swept up or vacuumed.

Dry ice is safe to use on virtually any surface, from plastic and rubber to all metals and even wood. CO2 pellets are non-toxic and non-hazardous making them safe for the environment and workers.
