4.4 Operation
(1) Load parts to be blasted into the cabinet.
(2) Close the doors.
(3) Adjust the desired blast pressure.
(4) Take blast gun in your hands
(wear gloves) and step on the foot
pedal Than the blast process will
be started
−
Smooth continuous blasting is more effective than abrupt move-
ments with the nozzle.
−
The rule: „Higher pressure equals higher productivity and lower
costs“ is not valid in every situation. Exceptions are:
⇒
High pressure (> 7 bar for special designs) leads to opera-
tor fatigue (more breaks are necessary).
⇒
High pressure could lead to premature wear of blast me-
dia and consequently to higher costs or even to damages
of the parts.
−
Distance between the nozzle and the part depends on a couple of
factors. In many cases a distance of 100 to 200 mm is the most
effective.
−
The correct relation between air and blast media is very important
for efficient blasting (see section 4.7.1 Air / blast media mixture).
−
Adjust static pressure (see section 4.7.3).
(5) When finished clean parts with blow-off nozzle and remove it from the cabinet.
(6) Regularly empty dust container.
−
Turn off motor and lights (red switch).
−
Carefully open cover of the dust container, take out the dust bag
and dump contents into a suitable disposal container.
WARNING ! If hazardous or toxic materials have been blasted,
the debris must be specially treated!
4.5 Shut-down
( 1) Turn off motor and lights (red switch) and close air supply.
4.6 Shut down when moving the cabinet
(1) If work is interrupted for a longer period of time or the cabinet is transported at higher air humidity or at
temperatures below 10 °C, blast media should be removed completely (see section 4.7.4).
(2) Disconnect plug.
(3) Disconnect air supply line.
