Warning

Do not use the appliance when there are 

other persons around unless they are also 

wearing safety equipment. 

The appliance must not be used if a con-

necting line or important parts of the appli-

ance, e.g. safety devices, spray hose, 

spray gun.

Danger of crushing on account of the dos-

ing equipment. Always remove the ma-

chine plug from the socket before removing 

the protective shield of the dry ice contain-

er.

For the operation of this system the follow-

ing regulations and directives are applica-

ble in the Federal Republic of Germany

If the emergency stop button is pressed, 

the dry ice dosing is stopped and the air 

flow from the nozzle is interrupted.

The machine is used to remove dirt using 

dry ice pellets that are speeded up using an 

air jet.  

The machine should not be operated in ex-

plosive environments. 

Use only dry ice pellets as jet medium.  Us-

ing any other jet medium can cause dam-

age to the machine. 

The air pressure reaches the jet pistol via a 

pressure regulation valve. The valve opens 

when the trigger of the jet pistol is pressed 

and the air flow comes out from the jet pis-

tol. Additionally, dry ice pellets are dosaged 

into the air stream via the dosing device. 

With the version "IB 7/40 Advanced" the 

additional dosing can be switched off at the 

jet pistol. The dry ice pellets hit the surface 

to be cleaned and remove the dirt. Addi-

tional heat currents are formed between 

the dirt and the object to be cleaned by the 

-79 °C cold dry ice pellets; this results in the 

dirt being loosened. At the same time, dry 

ice immediately gets coverted into gaseous 

carbon dioxide on contact and requires 700 

times the volume of dry ice. Thus, the dirt 

penetrated by the dry ice thus gets thrown 

off. 

During the spraying operation through the 

jet, a vibrator located on the dry ice contain-

er ensures continuous sliding of the dry ice 

pellets.
