Abstract
In order to meter carbon dioxide snow, a storage container has an output unit, which comprises: an output opening, which is arranged laterally in the bottom region of the storage container; and a horizontally movable sliding element, which cooperates with the output opening. In order to fill the storage container with carbon dioxide snow, at least two snow horns are provided on the storage container, in which snow horns liquid carbon dioxide is converted into a mixture of carbon dioxide snow and carbon dioxide gas. The mouth openings of the snow horns point toward each other at least in one direction component so that the material flows exiting therefrom are directed at least partially toward each other. This facilitates the separation of snow and gas and increase the efficiency of the device.
