Zusammenfassung:An apparatus for applying carbon dioxide (CO2) in solid form to a target comprises an aggregated body production chamber for producing individual solid bodies of CO2 with defined shape using an endless type conveying member which carries a plurality of receptacles for receiving CO2 snow and allowing the same to harden therein to form the individual bodies during movement of the receptacles along the upper run before being discharged upon transition to the lower run. The apparatus includes a snow production chamber for producing CO2 snow, which is in communication with a discharge of the aggregated body production chamber and which comprises its own downstream outlet such that the CO2 snow acts to convey the individual bodies released from the discharge of the aggregated body production chamber and towards the target.
