Danger or hazard levels
Danger
The immediate danger can cause severe injury or even death.
Warning
A possible hazardous situation that could lead to severe injury or even death.
Caution
A possible hazardous situation that could lead to mild injury to persons or damage to property.

Symbols on the machine Danger
Risk of injury on account of flying dry ice pellets. Do not direct the jet pistol on persons. Keep third persons away from the place of use and when the machine is being operated (by cordoning off the area). Do not touch/hold the nozzle or the dry ice jet when the machine is running.

Danger
Risk of suffocation on account of carbon dioxide. The dry ice pellets are made of solidified carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide content in the air at the place where the ma-
chine is used will increase when the machine is running. Ensure adequate ventilation at the place of use; if possible, use an alarm to warn persons. Symptoms of high levels of carbon dioxide in the air that is breathed in:
– 3…5%: headache, faster breathing.
– 7…10%: headache, nausea and perhaps even unconsciousness.
If any of these symptoms occur, please switch off the machine immediately and get a breath of fresh air; improve the ventilation before starting work again with the machine or use respirators. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air and it accumulates in narrow spaces, rooms on lower levels or in closed containers.
Make sure that the work area is ventilated sufficiently.
Follow the safety specifications of the manufacturer of dry ice.

Danger
Risk of injury on account of electro-static discharge; risk of damage to the electronic components. The object being cleaned can get charged electrically during the cleaning

Specifications and Guidelines
For the operation of this system the following regulations and directives are applicable in the Federal Republic of Germany (available from Carl Heymanns Verlag KG, Luxemburger Straße 449, 50939 Cologne): – BGV D 26 Spray jet tasks – Executing instructions for BGV D 26 – BGR 117 Working in closed rooms – BGR 189 Using safety gear– BGR 195 Using of safety gloves – BGR 500 Working with spraying devices – BGI 534 Working in closed rooms – BGI 836 Gas warner
Safety Devices
Emergency-stop button
If the emergency stop button is pressed, the dry ice dosing is stopped and the airflow from the nozzle is interrupted. Switch-off in case of emergency

  • Release the trigger of the jet pistol.

  • Press the emergency-stop button.
    The dry ice dosing is stopped and the airflow from the nozzle is interrupted.

  • Interrupt the compressed air supply.

Proper use
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 explosive environments. Use only dry ice pellets as jet medium.
Using any other jet medium can cause damage to the machine.

Function

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 airflow comes out from the jet pistol. Additionally, dry ice pellets are dosed 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. Additional 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 covered 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 container ensures continuous sliding of the dry ice pellets.
