A blasting device includes a flow passage (14) for a carrier gas, the flow passage (14) forming a blasting nozzle (12) at its downstream end, and a supply line (22) for liquid CO2, the supply line opening out into an expansion chamber (26) that is coaxially accommodated in the flow passage (14), the expansion chamber (26) being formed by a pipe (20) that is held at its upstream end by a holder (18) which is passed by the flow of carrier gas in the flow passage, and in that the supply line (22) extends through the holder (18) in transverse direction of the flow passage and opens into an expansion valve (24) that extends in parallel with the axis of the flow passage (14).
