CO2 snow-jet versus water or solvent Powerwash Systems Benefits of CO 2 versus Powerwash CO2 keeps the parts to be cleaned dry and free from any liquid CO2 can focus on specific areas to be cleaned (no need to clean the whole part) CO2 requires no drying process after cleaning CO2 fully automated and handled as a spray process No need for cleaning and flushing baths Uses standard painting robots Throughput approx. 10 times higher (synchronized with painting line speed) Run the same robot trajectories as for painting CO2 allows for more flexibility on the design of parts (no water drains required) CO2 requires identical equipment as for painting (conveyors, booths, ADAC, robotics etc) CO2 requires much less H&S than water of chemical based equipment

CO2 snow-jet versus water or solvent Powerwash Systems Benefits of CO 2 versus Powerwash Powerwash Savings CO2 Cleaning System Foot print 800 m² > 80% Foot print 140 m² Drying process > 80% No drying required Throughput time > 80% Per part savings Running costs > 50% Energy savings Investment costs > 40% Savings to a PW plant Cycle time xx % Savings depending on production setup Waste disposal xx % No waste disposal Water & Chemical xx % No water or chemicals

CO 2 snow-jet versus water or solvent Powerwash Systems Environmental benefits of CO 2 snow-jet cleaning versus Powerwash CO 2 is environmentally neutral (CO 2 is recaptured gas) CO 2 is NOT toxic (the air we breath contains 0.05% CO 2 ) CO 2 has no secondary waste or residues to remove High savings in energy (no drying required) No chlorinated or non-chlorinated surfactants No disposal of toxic or environmentally dangerous waste required No additional high rated safety precautions required

Summary of Benefits Added Values Minimal media consumption due to nozzle design and adjustment of parameters Perfectly suited to automation (including Industry 4.0) Low footprint, Low Installation Costs, Low Running Costs, Low Maintenance Very short cycle times (short duty cycle) due to the patented acp-nozzle system Attractive ROI (compared to manual wiping or powerwash) Safe and environmentally friendly due to dry, solvent-free and residue-free cleaning process Approximately > 40% total cost savings in comparison to conventional technologies
