Kärcher Dry Ice Blaster IB 15/120: Ultimate Industrial Cleaning Power
The Kärcher Dry Ice Blaster IB 15/120 represents the pinnacle of industrial cleaning technology, offering unmatched performance for the most demanding cleaning challenges. This professional-grade machine delivers exceptional cleaning power through innovative dry ice blasting technology, providing a chemical-free, residue-free solution for industrial environments where traditional cleaning methods are ineffective or impractical.
Industrial-Strength Performance
The IB 15/120 stands out as Karcher’s high-performance dry ice blasting solution, engineered specifically for intensive industrial applications. With its powerful compressed air system, this machine propels dry ice pellets at high velocity to effectively remove stubborn contaminants from virtually any surface without causing damage to the underlying substrate.
The robust design incorporates Karcher’s advanced blasting technology, allowing for variable pressure control and precise adjustment of dry ice consumption. This versatility enables operators to adapt cleaning intensity based on specific requirements, from gentle cleaning of sensitive components to aggressive removal of persistent industrial residues.
Revolutionary Cleaning Technology
The dry ice blasting process utilized by the Kärcher IB 15/120 combines three cleaning mechanisms for exceptional results:
Kinetic energy as dry ice pellets impact the surface at high speed Thermal shock as the cold pellets (-78.5°C) create micro-cracks in the contamination layer Explosive sublimation as the dry ice instantly converts from solid to gas upon impact
This combination effectively dislodges even the most tenacious contaminants—including hardened resins, carbon deposits, burnt-on residues, adhesives, paints, and biological accumulations—without generating secondary waste. The dry ice simply sublimates into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas, leaving only the original contaminant to be collected and disposed of.
Engineered for Industrial Environments
The IB 15/120 is constructed to withstand the harshest industrial conditions while delivering consistent performance. Its durable components and industrial-grade build quality ensure reliable operation even with extended daily use. The intuitive control panel provides easy access to all functions, allowing operators to make precise adjustments to cleaning parameters while monitoring system performance.
The ergonomic design incorporates practical features that enhance usability in industrial settings, including robust mobility options, secure storage for accessories, and quick-connect fittings for efficient setup and operation. These thoughtful design elements minimize downtime and maximize productivity in industrial cleaning applications.
Environmentally Responsible Alternative
For industries facing stringent environmental regulations or seeking to reduce their ecological footprint, the Kärcher IB 15/120 offers significant advantages:
No chemical cleaners or solvents required Water-free cleaning process No secondary waste generation Reduced disposal costs and environmental impact Non-toxic, non-abrasive cleaning method Eliminates need for harmful chemical treatments
These environmental benefits make the IB 15/120 particularly valuable for industries with strict compliance requirements or sustainability initiatives.
Versatile Industrial Applications
The Kärcher Dry Ice Blaster IB 15/120 excels across diverse industrial applications:
Heavy manufacturing equipment maintenance Industrial mold cleaning and restoration Power generation equipment servicing Automotive production line maintenance Food processing equipment sanitization Pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment cleaning Print press and industrial printing equipment Foundry equipment restoration Historical restoration and preservation projects
For facilities managing multiple cleaning challenges across various departments, the adaptability of the IB 15/120 provides exceptional value and versatility.
German-Engineered Quality
Like all Kärcher professional equipment, the IB 15/120 exemplifies German engineering excellence. Every component is manufactured to exacting standards, ensuring superior performance and long-term reliability. The comprehensive design approach integrates durability, functionality, and user experience to create a professional cleaning system that consistently delivers exceptional results in the most challenging industrial environments.

The IB 15/120 provides the highest performance for the toughest blasting iobs. The IB 15/120 can blast up to 120kg of dry ice pellets per hour, at up to 16 bar. This makes it ideal for just about any ice blasting job, thanks to its variable pressure and flow controls. Kärcher’s dry ice blasting technology is a non aggressive but thorough method of cleaning tools, moulds, 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 150 m/s 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.Kärcher’s dry ice blasting technology is a non aggressive but thorough method of cleaning tools, moulds, surfaces and machines with a minimum of downtime.

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 CO 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.
