A device for reducing the size of dry ice granules for dry ice cleaning devices including a supply of dry ice to a device for mixing of dry ice particles with the flow of gaseous medium. The device includes a die with a set of orifices for granulate passing and a granulate pushing-through member for pushing the granulate into the die. The die is placed in a body with at least one sloped surface inclining to the inside of the body towards the die, which, the body, is connectable to a supply of dry ice granulate to a device for mixing of dry ice particles with the flow of gaseous medium in a dry ice cleaning device, where above the die a granulate pushing-through member is movably mounted. The pushing-through member includes at least one surface facing the die, where this surface forms an acute angle with the die surface, and the orifices of the die at the side of the pushing-through member are provided with a recess or shape modification of the edge of the orifice increasing the roughness of the surface of the die relative to the roughness of the surface of the pushing-through member.
