7.8
Replacing Reclaimer Wear Plate ‒ Figure 28
WARNING
To access wear-plate mounting screws, the
reclaimer must be removed from the power
module. MediPulse reclaimers weigh about 100
lbs. When removing and installing the
reclaimer, it must be adequately supported and
secured to appropriate lift equipment. Failure to
secure and use proper lift device can result in
injury.
7.8.1
Remove the flex hose from the reclaimer inlet.
7.8.2
Remove the media hose from the metering valve.
7.8.3
Remove the reclaimer mounting bolts and
remove the reclaimer from the power module.
7.8.4
Remove the reclaimer inlet-pipe adaptor,
adaptor gasket, and old wear plate. The wear plate is
held in place by screws attached from the outside of the
reclaimer. Remove the screws and pull out the wear
plate through the reclaimer inlet.
Figure 28
7.8.5
Remove remnants of old caulk that will prevent
the new wear plate from seating against the reclaimer
wall and top.
7.8.6
Angle the new wear plate into the reclaimer inlet
and position it so the straight end is flush with the inlet.
Use locking pliers, clamps or other means to hold the
wear plate in position, making sure the leading edge of
the wear plate is aligned with the reclaimer inlet and that
the top edge is even with the top of the reclaimer.
7.8.7
Install the front two sheet-metal screws through
the old screw holes to secure.
7.8.8
Use a board or similar object as leverage to pry
the wear plate against the inner wall of the reclaimer.
7.8.9
New self-drilling sheet-metal screws are
provided with the wear plate; while forcing the wear plate
against the reclaimer wall, install the screws through the
remaining screw holes to secure. Rearrange the pry
board as needed to press the wear plate against the
reclaimer wall when installing screws.
7.8.10
To avoid rapid wear, apply RTV caulk to fill gaps
at the seams on the top and bottom of the wear plate
7.8.11
Reattach the inlet-pipe adaptor, replacing the
gasket if it is worn, compressed, or otherwise damaged.
7.8.12
Reinstall the reclaimer.
7.8.13
Connect the flex hose and media hose.
7.8.14
Allow time for the caulking to cure before putting
the reclaimer into service.

Replacing Filter Cartridge – Figures 29 and 30
WARNING
NO DUST IS SAFE TO BREATHE.
The inhalation of airborne dust can lead to
serious respiratory illness and death, serious
skin or eye irritation, or other health issues.
Always wear approved respiratory protection
when servicing the dust collector, while
handling filter bags and cartridges, and when
emptying the dust container. Toxicity and
health risk vary with type of media and dust
generated by blasting. The respirator must be
approved for the type of dust generated.
Identify all material being removed by blasting
and obtain a safety data sheet (SDS) for the
blast media.
7.9.1
Close the air-supply valve and open the drain to
bleed air from the pulse reservoir.
7.9.2
Refer to Figure 29 and unlatch the dust
container lid, pry off the lid from the container (the lid's
flexible inlet hose allows easy removal), and remove the
container.
Align leading edge and
clamp where needed.
Use board to pry back of wear plate against
reclaimer wall and then install screws.
