For the first time you can use the excellent cleaning performance of dry ice blasting spontaneously at any time and without long preparation. The IB 10/8 L2P is always ready to use straight away because it produces the dry ice pellets on demand. This unique machine also requires very little compressed air during operation. Thanks to this and other special properties, our IB 10/8 L2P makes dry ice blasting attractive and economical for many target groups and applications.

    machine cleaning with dry ice

    It has never been easier

    Dry ice cleaning combines powerful cleaning performance with maximum protection of surfaces. With dry ice you can deep clean lots of materials such as metals, plastics, wood, glass or textiles with flawless results.

    Cleanliness = cold x acceleration
    The Ice Blaster accelerates the up to 2.5 mm dry ice pellets with compressed air to over 150 m/s. The dirt freezes due to the −79 °C cold and cracks form. The dry ice pellets with their high speed can easily dissolve the dirt. A particularly effective method to removing almost all types of dirt whilst protecting the material.

    Operation with liquid CO₂
    Separate dry ice production for fast availability and mobile use: dry ice pellets are available at any time, immediately, wherever and whenever they are needed. Independent of dry ice suppliers. Your IB 10/8 L2P produces high-quality dry ice pellets on demand for an optimal cleaning performance.

    Intuitive 1-button operation
    Dry ice blasting has never been easier. With the ice quantity setting you can adapt the cleaning performance to every cleaning object and always achieve the best cleaning results.

    The extremely low compressed air consumption of maximum 800 l/min allows operation of the IB 10/8 L2P with compact workshop compressors and common compressed air networks and is therefore your simple and economic entry-level model to dry ice blasting technology.

    L2P: pellets directly from the cylinder

    L2P dry ice blasting

    How L2P dry ice blasting works:

    The abbreviation "L2P" stands for "Liquid to Pellet", and therefore the direct conversion of liquid CO₂ into dry ice pellets. A patented compressor unit integrated in the machine produces the dry ice pellets directly from the CO₂ in the gas cylinder – not in advance, but exactly when required and without delay. Compared to the traditional method, this saves the entire logistics effort and the stockpiling in cooling containers. A loss of dry ice from sublimation is prevented. The cleaning result is the same as with the previous method. Only much more flexible, simpler and more independent.

    Traditional method dry ice cleaning

    Traditional method for dry ice blasting:

    The pelletizer is supplied from a large CO₂ tank, and produces the dry ice pellets. The pellets are stored in cool boxes and transported to the operation site by truck. There the pellets are filled in the dry ice blaster and accelerated with compressed air.

    Advantages of dry ice blasting

    • Cleaning without dismantling: machines do not have to be dismantled for cleaning. The pellets easily reach into the smallest nooks.
    • Short downtimes of the machines thanks to fast and effective cleaning.
    • Environment-friendly cleaning without additional chemicals or blasting abrasives.
    • Surfaces are not damaged.
    • No residues: dry ice completely sublimates to CO₂. There are no residues, e.g. blasting abrasives or wastewater.

    So versatile. So complete.

    Up to now dry ice blasting has not gained widespread acceptance because it was so expensive and time-consuming. These hurdles are now overcome with L2P. L2P is far more economical and can be used simply and flexibly – without logistics for dry ice, without a large compressor, mobile and available at any time without operational planning.

    Efficiency from a cylinder

    The consumption of liquid CO₂ is between 20 and 60 kg/h and depends on various factors. The power level has the biggest influence. But the ambient temperature also influences the production of the dry ice. At a higher temperature less dry ice is produced per kilogramme of liquid CO₂. The production rate increases at a lower temperature. Finally, the dry ice production is more effective the longer the machine is running. And this also helps reduce the consumption of liquid CO₂.

    Slats look before cleaning

    Before

    Stubborn dirt settled between the tubes of this radiator. It is difficult to clean the narrow gaps to a satisfactory standard using normal methods. If so, then aggressive solvents have to be used.

    Slats look after cleaning

    After

    With dry ice blasting the dirt is completely dissolved and removed, even in the narrow gaps of the radiators. The surface is not damaged. The result is visibly and functionally flawless.

    Child seat before dry ice cleaning

    Before

    Adhesive, dried-in dirt in the vehicle interior is a real cleaning problem. The surfaces cannot be damaged. Suitable methods and cleaning agents only seldom produce perfect results.

    Child seat after dry ice cleaning

    After

    Not a bit of dirt left! With dry ice blasting every piece of dirt, even deep down in fabrics, is broken down and removed without leaving any residues. No matter whether it is textiles, plastics or metal surfaces. Without using cleaning agents or water, and no stains.

    Dry ice blasting for everything

    Our dry ice blasters impress with sophisticated technology, uncompromising performance and robust quality.

    Advantages of the IB 10/8 L2P

    Intuitive machine control
    The proven EASY Operation operating system is familiar to many users of other Kärcher cleaning machines and permits intuitive operation of the IB 10/8 L2P. The 3-stage cleaning performance allows deep and gentle removal of different types of dirt.

    Display
    The clearly arranged display enables control of the current operating state at any time and features an elapsed time counter, as well as an air pressure and service indicator. The blasting minute counter provides accurate data for the minute-based billing for internal and external customers.

    Assistance systems
    Intelligent assistance systems monitor functions such as minimum blasting pressure, temperature of the dosing motor and check whether the exhaust hose is clogged. The trigger gun is monitored for cable breaks and whether the trigger is pulled (e.g. with a cable tie). The IB 10/8 L2P does not start with a pulled trigger. A display provides information on the respective status.

    Illuminated trigger gun
    The ergonomically shaped, illuminated blast gun can be rotated 90° to the hose. This means that cleaning even under narrow spaces like in the engine compartment is simple, comfortable and safe. The quick-change function and the "Ice on/off" function also simplify use. It is also possible to use compressed air on the cleaning object.

    Quick-change function
    The trigger gun has a quick-change function for the nozzle assembly. Kärcher EASY!Lock enables quick and easy connection of the blast hose at the machine.

    Tray and storage
    The required tools and nozzles are always stored directly on the machine and ready to hand in the variable tool tray. The cable and hose are also on separate holders. Utensils such as ear protectors, gloves, cloths, etc., can be stored ready to hand on the Home Base clip rail. In the parking position the blast gun can be conveniently and safely set down at the machine during work breaks or when changing the nozzle.

    Variable cylinder holder
    Suitable for all common CO₂ gas cylinders from 5 to 37.5 kilogramme filling quantity (incl. loading aid for gas cylinders).

    CO₂ drain
    The CO₂ that has not been converted into dry ice pellets can be safely drained from the workstation through the integrated CO₂ exhaust hose.

    Safe CO₂ supply
    The quality of CO₂ cylinders may vary. A CO₂ filter reliably withholds rust particles, swarf, metal and other contamination. The CO₂ then reaches the machine via a robust corrugated metal hose.

    Robust chassis
    Thanks to the solid chassis with large, robust castors, our IB 10/8 L2P is also easy to manoeuvre on uneven floors. Ergonomic handles facilitate lifting for transportation.
